**SPECIAL SCHOOL BOARD MEETING, TUESDAY MARCH 2 AT 6:00PM VIA ZOOM**
Public Comment Will be Addressed on 2021 Middle School Realignment Proposal and
Leasing of the Former St. Thomas More Academy
A special School Board Meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 2, at 6:00pm to discuss the impacts of the pending lease agreement for the former St. Thomas More Academy campus in Magnolia, and the resulting need for the realignment of middle school attendance patterns.
Once lease terms are finalized, the District plans to create a Middle School for grades 6-8 at the former St. Thomas More Academy. In order to equitably divide the student population the District has contracted with the University of Delaware to analyze the current boundaries and attendance patterns for Fred Fifer III and F. Neil Postlethwait Middle Schools. This review was designed to determine how to best realign the attendance boundaries to ease the student growth at Fifer and Postlethwait while creating a sustainable student population at the former St. Thomas More Academy. The UD study can be reviewed by viewing the PDF files found below.

The staff at Dover Air Force Base Middle School is dedicated to providing all students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they will need to succeed in high school and beyond. To that end, we will push students to read and write, to think and solve, to be creative, and to apply what they learn in various contexts and situations. During this journey, we also hope that students take time to socialize and have fun, but above all we hope that they learn, grow and develop both as students and as young adults.
Dover Air Force Base Middle School is committed to promoting, enhancing, and sustaining student academic achievement in a safe learning environment, and to assist our community of learners in developing the skills to become responsible good citizens.
