Two Del. school boards vote to start school year virtually

DOVER, Del. – Two school boards in Delaware have voted to start the school year virtually.

We’re told the Capital School District and the Milford School District voted in favor of the move on Thursday. The Capital School District board voted unanimously, while Milford’s board members decided in a 5-1 vote.

This decision comes as school boards statewide are contemplating how to start the year after Governor John Carney announced earlier this week that schools can implement hybrid teaching formats.

Students in both districts are set to take virtual classes for at least the first six weeks of school.
