The New Castle County Council meeting on September 9, 2025, highlighted significant concerns regarding the leadership of the Appoquinimink School District. Council members expressed strong criticism of Superintendent Dr. Burrows and School Board President Mr. Forrester, citing a recent auditor's report that indicated failures in their management and oversight responsibilities.

During the meeting, one council member accused Dr. Burrows and Mr. Forrester of incompetence, stating that they had not fulfilled their duties effectively over the years. The auditor's report was referenced as evidence of their shortcomings, which the council member claimed would ultimately lead to increased costs for taxpayers in the district. The call for resignations from both leaders underscored the urgency of the situation, with the council member emphasizing the need for accountability.

Additionally, Councilman Street raised concerns about a recent request he received regarding the Minkwood Ale Landfill. He described the request as an "unmitigated goal" to increase the landfill's height to 185 feet, indicating potential environmental and community implications.

The discussions during the meeting reflect ongoing challenges within the Appoquinimink School District and raise questions about future leadership and management strategies. The council's focus on these issues suggests a commitment to ensuring accountability and transparency in local governance.
