Fluorescent lighting failure caused elementary school fire in Milford

The Oct. 25 fire at Lulu M. Ross Elementary School in Milford was caused by the failure of fluorescent lighting inside a display case, the state fire marshal's office announced Nov. 12. The fire has been ruled accidental, Assistant State Fire Marshal Scott Bullock said. The fire happened on a Saturday, with the alarm going off around 4:15 a.m. It occurred in the school's Kent wing, damaging the lobby, library, front office and classrooms in the Kent and New Castle hallways, district officials said. The blaze took firefighters about three hours to get under control, according to district officials. No one was injured. Ross serves about 614 students in grades 2 through 4, according to the latest state data , and employs about 44, according to the school website. The school was built in 1957. Ross students were out of school for a week after the fire while the district determined they would move them to Milford Middle School. Sixth graders at the middle school were relocated to Milford Central Academy as a result. The fire also forced students at the neighboring Mispillion Elementary School out of school for a day due to shared phone and internet lines. Milford news:

High school graduations will remain at the Bob Carpenter Center

ELKTON — Cecil County Public Schools will once again hold its graduation ceremonies at the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark, Del. Two members of the Cecil County School Board voted against it Wednesday evening, but were outvoted with a 3-2 nod in favor of spending $58,590 to rent the Bob Carpenter Center for the 2027 graduations. Joe Ferdinando and Brian Hampton — this was Hampton’s final meeting — voted against the expense, with Hampton noting that coming budget cuts from the state means CCPS might need those funds elsewhere, including a shortage of teacher assistants in kindergarten classes. (Sheila Tome defeated Hampton for the District 4 seat. Hawley decided not to seek re-election. Grant Handley won her seat. Joe Ferdinando and challenger Dominick Mannella are separated by less than 2 percentage points. That race will be determined by a final tally with all ballots counted sometime Friday according to Gary Holmes, chief of the Cecil County Board of Elections) Superintendent Jeffrey Lawson said the individual schools budget about $7,000 on average for the ceremony regardless, so having it off site only adds about $20,000 to the CCPS budget. “Already on the budget doesn’t mean it should be spent,” Ferdinando said.

Ravens host Maryland's first sanctioned girls' flag football finals

The Ravens will welcome six Maryland high school teams to M&T Bank Stadium on Nov. 17 for the state's first MPSSAA-sanctioned girls flag football state championships. Girls flag football is reaching another significant milestone in Maryland, and the Baltimore Ravens will provide the stage for the sport's next chapter. On Tuesday, Nov. 17, the Ravens and M&T Bank Stadium will host the first Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association (MPSSAA) Girls Flag Football State Championships since the sport was officially sanctioned. Three championship games will begin at 4:30 p.m., as six high school programs compete for state titles. The event marks another major step forward for a sport that has grown tremendously across Maryland over the past several years. In April, the MPSSAA officially sanctioned girls flag football as Maryland's 26th state championship sport, making the state the 19th in the country to recognize the sport at the high school level. The Ravens have played an instrumental role in that growth since launching their girls flag football initiative in 2023. What began with just 10 participating public high schools has expanded to more than 140 schools, including Eastern Shore programs through the Bayside Conference. More than half of the Bayside
