Delaware K-12 students can get weekly rapid antigen COVID-19 tests this fall

Masking will be optional for students and staff except when determined necessary to fight an outbreak.

Test results for the 22-23 school year show that only 40% of students in grades 3-8 scored proficiently in English language arts, a 2 percentage point decline from last year.

Teachers will no longer be exempted from Delaware’s mandate for all state workers to get their COVID-19 vaccine or submit to weekly testing.
