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 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. In this weekly roundup, we'll catch you up on these and other education stories you may have missed. Did we miss another education story? Let me know: kepowers@usatodayco.com Red Clay revives plan to close McKean as a high school Delaware's largest school district is continuing a plan to phase out its nearly 60-year-old Thomas McKean High School. Back in April, the school board had voted to "postpone" the effort, until it met several conditions that "ensure adequate planning, communication and student transition," according to the resolution by member Najma Landis. Now, district leaders have pitched a new report , and timeline, aiming to meet those conditions – and still transition the Pike Creek high school into a "Thomas McKean Innovation Center." That won't be a vocational-technical school.

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.

Raider football leaves it all on the field in playoff

CAMDEN – It was not the ending to the football season the Ocean City Red Raiders wanted, but their effort and “resiliency” were not lost on head coach Sean Matthews. The Raiders’ playoff run came to an end against Camden High School after a gutsy performance on defense to keep a high-powered Panther offense at bay for most of the game. Ocean City eventually fell to Camden 24-7 on Nov. 6, but not before leaving everything out on the field.
