Red Clay revives plan to close McKean as high school: Education roundup

Red Clay Consolidated School District is trudging ahead with transition planning toward a McKean "Innovation Center," though some community resistance remains. The school system has revamped plans for that transition, while laying out pledges for more community and school engagement. Meanwhile, the school choice window has once again opened across Delaware.

DIAA 3A Playoff Scenarios entering Week 11

We know the 8 teams who will make up the Class 3A field, but there's still room for a lot of changes in the order. The simplest solution would be Middletown defeating Appoquinimink on Friday night to clinch Class 3A-1 directly, and not avoid a tiebreaker, which they'd still win unless they gave up at least 32 points to the Jags in a loss.

The AIS 2027 Renovations, a Turn for the Class of 2028

The Agnes Irwin School has confirmed that renovations will take place after Commencement in June 2027. The plan for the 2027-2028 school year is not entirely known, but we have been given pieces of information to help us gain a better understanding on how our student life will be next year. In my opinion, I feel as if a renovation is needed, but the complete change in our schedule and classroom locations is an inconvenience. Additionally, this renovation will take place during the entirety of my senior year, which eliminates our lounge.

Ocean City eventually fell to Camden 24-7 on Nov. 6, but not before leaving everything out on the field.
