The Christina School District Board of Education had a big night last night! They approved new Superintendent Richard Gregg’s contract which means he will begin his leadership of the district beginning April 18th. Meanwhile, the board unanimously approved the first read of their safety zone policy which failed to get enough votes last month as a resolution.
The district put out a press release today with more information about Gregg:
The Christina School District Board of Education voted to approve the superintendent contract for Richard L. Gregg during its regular March Board meeting. Gregg’s effective start date will be April 18, 2017.
Richard L. Gregg most recently served as Assistant Superintendent for the Penn-Delco School District in Aston, Pennsylvania, a position he has held since 2015. In that position, he was responsible for district-wide curriculum and instruction, assessment, special education, professional development, and technology integration. He also oversaw the district budget and supervised administrative staff. His experience also includes serving as principal of Penncrest High School in Media, Pennsylvania, and as Director of Instruction for New Castle County Vocational Technical School District in Delaware. He has served as principal of Brandywine High School, and principal and assistant principal of Concord High School in the Brandywine School District. In the Christina School District, he served as assistant principal at Christiana High School.
His teaching experience includes a total of nine years’ experience as a high school social studies teacher. He holds a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Delaware, and a master’s degree in school leadership and instruction from Wilmington University. He is a graduate of Glasgow High School.
Gregg received the Pennsylvania School Principal of the Year Award in 2010, and was named Delaware Secondary Principal of the Year in 2000. He has held leadership roles with the Delaware Principals Academy, the Delaware Academy for School Leadership, and the Delaware Association of School Administrators. At the national level, he has served on the National Honor Society National Council, the National Association of State Student Councils and on the National Association of Secondary School Principals Leadership Award Selection Committee.
The safety zone policy drew a decent crowd, with members of the Delaware Green Party in attendance in support of board member John Young’s policy. To read the full policy as approved in a first-read status by the Board last evening, please read below. I do not view this as a “sanctuary” policy as that has an altogether different meaning than what this policy actually states. The News Journal referred to the policy as a “sanctuary policy” in their article last night. The board will vote on a 2nd read of the policy at their next meeting on April 11th, at the Sarah Pyle Academy in Wilmington.
Under this policy, the Christina School District reaffirms our commitment to a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for every student without regard to their race, religion, national origin or immigration status to provide enrolled, undocumented students their legal right to a public education.
The Season Of Myths 
Yea, why not let the taxpayers vote about making the district a sanctuary district, WE are paying for it. No, because they knew it would not pass.
And let’s pay this guy $180k + all the other fringe benefits, while the Gov is increasing taxes and cutting programs!
Keep voting Democrats, your going to have empty houses, when people start moving out of the state
