The Claymont City Board of Education on April 13 approved revised daily start and end times for the 2026–27 school year intended to help with bus routing and after‑school activities. The district will set High School hours at 7:40–2:40, Middle School at 7:50–2:50, Elementary at 8:05–3:05 and Primary at 8:15–3:15.
Superintendent Brian Rentsch and Transportation Supervisor Eric Henry discussed transportation logistics and potential benefits to after‑school programming; the board voted to adopt the schedule after that briefing. Mrs. Host moved the change and Ms. Campbell seconded; the motion carried on a roll‑call vote. The district will use the new times for the 2026–27 academic year and monitor impacts on routing and activities.
