Urgent Notice about DSD school (March 14, 2023)

Christiana School District (CSD) will have their regular meeting tonight. DSD (Delaware School for the Deaf) is governed by the CSD district. ASL interpreters will be present. It will be live streamed and public comments are allowed online up to 6pm tonight or show up at the meeting to do so.

Communication Card Video Release – Press Event
In September 2022, the revised Visor and Wallet Communication Cards for interactions between members of Law enforcement and Delaware residents who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing were released to the public and Police Officers throughout the state.
At that time, a training video was under production with students at the Delaware School for the Deaf. We are now ready to release that video to the public and to Law Enforcement.
This event will be held on Tuesday, April 18th at 1:00 pm at the Appoquinimink Library in Middletown, DE.
We are looking for help in spreading the news about the event, as well as contacting potential dignitaries to speak at the event.
