GEORGETOWN, DE. – The Delaware State Board of Education has voted to revoke the charter for Bryan Allen Stevenson School of Excellence, bringing the school’s operations to an end at the close of the current academic year.
Delaware Secretary of Education Cindy Marten announced the decision Thursday, citing ongoing concerns related to enrollment, finances, and organizational performance. The move follows a formal review process that began in December, when Marten placed the school under heightened scrutiny.
Last month, the Delaware Department of Education’s Charter School Accountability Committee recommended that the school’s charter be revoked after evaluating its performance and operations. The State Board’s vote finalizes that recommendation.
Bryan Allen Stevenson School of Excellence opened in the fall of 2024 and serves students in grades 6 through 9. With the school now set to close, students will need to transition for the upcoming academic year.
State officials say affected students may return to their home district schools based on feeder patterns or apply to other district or charter schools that are accepting students for the 2026–2027 school year.
Education officials have not released additional details about the transition process but indicate that guidance will be provided to families in the coming months.
