christina school board

The Christina School District welcomes one new school board member while the search for another one has started.

As the Christina School Board looks to fill one vacancy another one opens up.

The move comes in response to questions about Baqir’s residency. He has held his seat since 2021 but only attended meetings virtually since early 2024 while living in Pakistan.

The report recommended taking advantage of FOIA training to ensure meeting minutes and agendas are detailed, voting procedures are consistent and Board members identify themselves when speaking or making a motion.

Last year, Christina saw 150 appeals. Post-reassessment, it has a thousand.

This year's application is largely a resubmission of last year's requests.

The district's chief financial officer said an estimated 2.55 % of assessed value is at risk to appeal and other issues, and the tax hike could help cover the burden.

Monica Moriak takes the role after board members voted her in 4-3.

Three bills to improve school board transparency await Gov. Matt Meyer’s approval amid dysfunction within the Christina School Board.

The plan would redraw lines in Wilmington so there are no more than two school districts for the city's students.
