Today is the deadline for reservations.
Del. Gov. Thomas R. Carper, Delaware '75M, will discuss his education agenda for Delaware schools at 7 p.m., Wednesday, May 15, in Room 007 of the Willard Hall Education Building. The governor will highlight such major issues as school safety, discipline, parental involvement, school choice and tax dollars for charter schools. The Carper administration has supported the New Directions educational reform begun in 1992 during the administration of Michael N. Castle. That initiative laid out curricular frameworks for many school subjects and setting objectives for students. New Directions soon will unveil assessments that gauge if students have mastered those goals.
