The Appoquinimink School Board held a workshop meeting on June 25, 2025, where several key topics were discussed, including personnel changes and financial concerns for the upcoming school year.

The meeting began with a farewell to Ms. Wall, who attended her last official meeting as a board member. A tribute to her contributions was noted during the previous regular board meeting, and the board expressed hopes for her continued involvement in the community. The board also welcomed Tim Higgins, the newest member, who is set to be sworn in at the July meeting.

A significant portion of the discussion focused on the district's financial position. The board reflected on the financial report from March 31, which had indicated a stable situation. However, it was revealed that recent errors in financial reporting had come to light, complicating the typical discussions about the budget and tuition tax rates. The rising costs of special education were also mentioned as a continuing concern.

The board acknowledged the resignation of the former financial director on June 2 and noted the assistance of former CFO Chuck Longfellow and current advisor Scott Kesel in addressing the financial issues. The board committed to working diligently over the next two weeks to resolve these challenges before the next meeting scheduled for July 8.

In conclusion, the meeting highlighted both the transition in board membership and the urgent financial matters that the district must address as it prepares for the upcoming school year. The board's proactive approach in seeking assistance and planning for the future was evident throughout the discussions.
