Education in Wilmington

For now, the WLC remains responsible for the salaries of 30 positions across nine schools.

The WLC was given $10 million in FY 2026 but could receive just $2 million if the proposed budget goes through.

The WLC operates across nine schools in three districts in Wilmington with the goal of improving student outcomes.

The Redding Consortium will have another meeting in the next few weeks as it works to meet its July deadline for the redistricting proposal.

Consortium members voted to condense four northern New Castle County districts to one.

The report said based on cost alone, it recommends splitting City of Wilmington students between the Red Clay and Brandywine School Districts.

The options envision splitting Wilmington students between Red Clay and Brandywine school districts; consolidating Brandywine, Red Clay and the City of Wilmington into one district or combining all four northern New Castle County districts into one.

The Consortium now plans to make a decision at its Dec. 16 meeting.

Both efforts were months in the making.

The event was largely run by 18-to-20 year old interns for the city.
