Delaware Academy is currently planning our next capital projects in order to continuously improve the quality of instruction and experiences for our community of learners. The entire project is planned so that there is NO additional impact on taxpayers.

One of the most crucial elements of any major capital planning initiative at DA is a firm dedication to community collaboration and transparency. In short: we pledge to keep our community informed and engaged throughout the process.

To that end, the District has established this webpage as a portal to catalogue related information and documentation as a community reference. This page will be updated as new information becomes available, so be sure to check back in!

CORRECTION: The Legal Notice of the Special Election for the Capital Project posted in The Daily Star on 9/15 and The Reporter on 9/14, listed Thursday, October 11, 2023 as the date for the vote. It should read, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2023. We apologize for any confusion.

  • Student Representatives for results of a student survey and student voice

This will be held in the Lobby of the High School. Tables will be set up for each group listed above in order to maximize access and the ability to answer the greatest number of questions possible. It will also enhance personal engagement for all attendees. We hope to see you there!
