Redistricting of Wilmington's public schools gets green light

HOCKESSIN, Del. -- The redistricting of Wilmington's public schools can move forward, after Delaware's governor signed a new measure into law.

Jack Markell's signature grants the state board of education the authority to change district boundaries.

Students in Christina and Colonial schools would move to the Red Clay District if the General Assembly approves it.

Governor Markell also signed a second bill, creating the Wilmington Education Improvement Commission.

It's a group of leaders assigned to oversee the district transition.
