Delaware County Community College (DCCC) has achieved a remarkable milestone with its nursing program, reporting a first-time pass rate of 95.19% for graduates in 2024. This figure marks the highest rate in over a decade and significantly exceeds the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing's required pass rate of 80%. This achievement has been highlighted as a cause for celebration within the community.

In addition to academic success, DCCC's building community campaign is gaining traction, having secured over $6.1 million towards its $7.5 million goal. With approximately $1.3 million still needed, the campaign is well on its way to completion. The college is also actively engaging in recruitment outreach across Delaware County, ensuring that information reaches various schools and communities within its sponsoring district.

The Delaware County Intermediate Unit, represented by liaison Kristen Morrison, announced that its next board meeting will take place on December 4th at 7 PM. Meanwhile, the Delaware County Legislative Council, with liaisons MK and Dave Schwartz, reported on recent legislative developments affecting education. Six bills were discussed at the last meeting, but with the House and Senate now in recess, any unpassed legislation will need to be reintroduced in the new session starting in January.
