**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.

Per the Fourth Revision to the 27th Modification of the State of Emergency Declaration, any individual who participates in an out of state tournament or competition must immediately self-quarantine in accordance with DPH guidance from the time of entry into Delaware.
To confirm, if an individual participating on a school team or non-school team those individuals who participated in a tournament or event with more than two teams must self-quarantine. If a school team competes against an out of state team for a single competition and returns the same day, self-quarantine would not need to occur; however, if a school team competes against a team and stays overnight out of state that team would need to self-quarantine upon return to Delaware in accordance with DPH guidance. Please refer to the FAQ document from DPH for guidance on quarantine time.
We ask athletic directors to contact coaches to share this information with their student athletes so they are aware of the self-quarantine requirement. Student athletes should be made aware their decisions and failure to communicate out of state travel even when participating on a non-school team could impact their school team’s activity when self-quarantine requirements are not followed.
Questions please contact FMS Athelic Director, Tess Charney at theresa.charney@cr.k12.de.us or school (302) 698-8400 x212 or google voice/text (302) 538-9348.
