Board approves new daily bell schedules for 2026–27 school year
Summary
The Claymont City Board of Education approved adjusted daily schedules for 2026–2027—High School 7:40–2:40; Middle School 7:50–2:50; Elementary 8:05–3:05; Primary 8:15–3:15—after transportation discussion aimed at improving after‑school activity bussing.
The Claymont City Board of Education voted April 13 to change school start and end times for the 2026–2027 school year to staggered schedules intended in part to ease transportation for after‑school activities. The new times are High School 7:40–2:40; Middle School 7:50–2:50; Elementary 8:05–3:05; Primary 8:15–3:15.
Superintendent Brian Rentsch and Transportation Supervisor Eric Henry discussed bussing logistics before the vote. The board approved the schedules after that discussion. The motion carried on roll call. The administration said it will monitor operations this year to determine whether additional adjustments are needed.
