Superintendent highlights dual‑language cohort, new streaming radio and $485,000 watershed grant
Summary
In his May report Dr. Green highlighted the district's second dual‑language cohort, the launch of an elementary streaming radio station that interviewed the governor, and a $485,000 national watershed conservation award to expand habitat restoration and pollinator gardens across district schools.
Superintendent Dr. Green used the May 13 board meeting to highlight several district programs and recognitions.
He noted the district’s second cohort of students completing the Red Clay dual‑language immersion pathway and a substantial increase in students earning the Delaware certificate of multiliteracy. Dr. Green also described the launch of Thunderbird Radio, an elementary streaming station that provides students with digital‑storytelling and communications experience; he said students at the station were able to interview the governor during the ribbon cutting.
On environmental education, Dr. Green said the Red Clay Watershed Literacy Model was recognized at the Chesapeake Bay Summit and that the district received a National Fish and Wildlife Federation award supporting habitat restoration. He described the initiative as a roughly $485,000 program that will fund pollinator garden sites and K–12 vertical alignment for stewardship projects across multiple elementary sites and other campuses.
Dr. Green closed by reminding families about summer enrichment applications and graduation schedules, and thanked staff for teacher‑appreciation events and other recognitions.
Public comment during the meeting included a retirement statement from Kimberly Scuarola, who said, “I stand before you as a very proud Red Clay employee for the last 35 years,” and a call from parent Adrian Sissel for greater community representation on board committees.
