Questions persist as Lebanon school officials push in-house CTE plan

Some residents have more questions than answers while Lebanon School District officials continue to promote an in-house career and technology program to community residents. More than 27 residents, government officials, and community leaders attended the district officials' second public forum at the Lebanon Intermediate School on Oct. 14 to hear plans about developing an in-house career and technology education program (CTE). Lebanon district officials are hosting three forums to get public feedback while they consider exiting the Lebanon County Career and Technology Center (CTC). Despite the plans being put forward, some residents in attendance asked if there were ways to continue working with the CTC and other districts rather than go it alone. "I think that, when I look at the whole county, the Career and Technology Center has been such a plus and a strength in the county that it seems that Lebanon and other districts have benefited from that collaboration for many years," former Lebanon school board member Mary Ann Harrell said to district administrators. "I also think students from Lebanon benefit because they are mixing with kids from all over the county, (and) the county kids benefit from working together." On June 15, the Lebanon School District

Delaware State AD Tony Tucker returning to roots with St. Andrew’s job

Before he became Delaware State University athletic director, Tony Tucker had spent much of his career in secondary education. Now he will return to such a role, as DSU announced Oct. 15 that Tucker is stepping down as athletic director to take a position at St. Andrew’s, the private boarding school for ninth- to 12th-graders near Middletown. Tucker worked at St. Andrew’s at the start of his 35-year career in education. He will return in November as senior associate director of admissions and director of strategic projects and external relations, according to DSU. Deputy AD Brian Ellerbe will oversee athletics while DSU mounts a national search for Tucker’s replacement. Tucker came to DSU in April of 2023 as senior associate vice president of athletics and in January of 2025 became athletic director. “The university is a special place, a place where thousands of alumni have mentored literally tens of thousands of young people in competitive sports and beyond, around the world,” Tucker said in the DSU statement. “In Delaware, I have felt that impact all of my life: trained, coached, mentored, and guided by countless Delaware State alumni, in the classroom and beyond.

Cecil Manor Elementary School's new HVAC causes mold issues

ELK MILLS — Cecil Manor Elementary School received a new heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system over the summer and not long after the school year began, so did the issues, according to representatives of Cecil County Public Schools. “This was a new, almost $5 million project,” said Shawn Johnson, chief academic officer for CCPS. “We are still in the process of balancing the system.” By balance, he means finding the sweet spot between the old parts and the new parts and making it work together. Meanwhile, EnviroSure, the company hired to determine the cause of the problem, found mold and spores in two classrooms. “Overall, the results indicated normal fungal ecology; however, at Cecil Manor, Classroom 4 and Classroom 28 showed results that warrant further investigation/action. Classroom 4 had a total fungal concentration above outdoor levels, while Classroom 28 had an elevated concentration of Penicillium/Aspergillus-type spores relative to the outdoor reference sample and above medium expected outdoor values on the Eurofins MoldRange report,” the report reads. According to Denise Sopa, associate superintendent for finance and operations, the need for a new HVAC system dated back to 2017. “It took enough years to get state and county funds, and
