The Claymont City Board of Education approved new start and end times for each school for 2026–27 and voted to end the 2025–26 school year three days earlier, moving the student calendar to conclude on May 22, 2026.
The Claymont City Board of Education voted April 13 to adopt new student start and end times for the 2026–2027 school year and to advance the end of the current school year. After discussion with Transportation and other staff, the board approved the following schedules: High School 7:40–2:40; Middle School 7:50–2:50; Elementary 8:05–3:05; Primary 8:15–3:15.
Board members discussed bussing logistics and after‑school activity impacts with Transportation and decided to implement the new times for the coming year and monitor their effect. The board also approved a separate calendar change, moving the final day of school for students in 2025–26 to May 22, 2026 — three days earlier than previously scheduled. Mrs. Host made the motion to approve the time changes; Ms. Campbell seconded. The calendar change was moved and seconded by Mrs. Host and Mrs. Wolf; both measures carried on recorded roll‑call votes.
