Governor Markell continues visits to schools to meet students and you 

In his effort to hear directly from students and staff about education in Delaware today, we have been helping Governor Markell arrange time in schools to see and hear for himself. His visits so far have increased his respect for the people who work in our public schools as well as sharpened his sensitivity to the enormous pressures you face every day.

Tomorrow, Friday, November 6 at Stubbs Elementary (Christina) in Wilmington, staff only, from 3-4pm.

Dec. 9, 1-2pm with students; 2-3pm with staff at Appoquinimink H.S., Middletown

Dec. 18, 2-3pm with students; 3-4pm with staff, at Baltz E.S. (Red Clay, Elsmere).
