The Cape Henlopen School Board will hold a meeting to day to review a controversial plan that would try to better balance the socio-economic status of students in the district.
WBOC reports that the plan known as Option F would provide students north of Slaughter Creek to Milton Elementary school while all students in the town of Milton would go to H.O. Brittingham Elementary school.
For students in walking distance of Milton Elementary School they would get the chance to stay at the school.
The television station found that in the 2014-15 school year 58.1 percent of students in H.O. Brittingham came from low-income families while at Milton Elementary 29.2 percent of the student population was from low-income families.
But there is a petition opposing option F.
Opponents say that the option does not really address the problem of poverty.
The television station says the petition at the time of its reporting had 54 names.
