GA mulls separate public, private school sports titles
The majority of state sports championships this season were won by private schools.
On the heels of the state championships for many high school sports, the Delaware legislature is considering distinct title games for public and private schools.
Senate Bill 328, sponsored by Sen. Eric Buckson, R-Dover, directs the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association to separate all public and private school team championship sanctioned events.
“The bill in and of itself is somewhat offensive or not, depending on where you are in the state,” Buckson said.
Dozens of comments on social media flooded in after state championships largely won by private schools.
Many said it is unfair for public schools to be forced to compete with private ones.
While public schools often have a larger number of students to pull from, private schools can lure top athletes with scholarships, some from out of state.
Britney Mumford, executive director of education group DelawareCAN, supported the bill in the Senate Education Committee Tuesday.
“It’s an issue that we hear a lot from constituents. It’s an equity issue,” she said. “Inequitable access to state titles also means inequitable access to potential scholarships and the ability to acquire education for many of our students.”
She spoke specifically on wrestling saying that historically, the number of students at Delaware private schools are disproportionately from Pennsylvania and Maryland.
“I think that’s really where we need to look when we’re studying the data around this issue,” she said. “How many of the students that are winning Delaware state titles are actually Delawareans, because it’s our job as a state to serve those students first.”

David Baylor, executive director of the athletic association, said he recognizes the sensitivity of the issue and acknowledged it merits discussion with all stakeholders.
He did not support nor oppose the bill.
The athletic director from Caesar Rodney School District, head of school at Newark Charter and a coach in Colonial School District who previously coached at private schools said they supported the bill.
Senate committees do not vote publicly on bills, but instead sign the back of the bill with their vote after the hearing, which is posted on the bill tracker several hours later.
If the education committee chooses to release it, SB 328 will head to the Senate floor for discussion.

For many people in Delaware, the UDairy Creamery is a favorite spot for a scoop of ice cream.
Whether customers are ordering guava sherbet, butter pecan or one of the creamery’s many other flavors, the University of Delaware shop has built a loyal following over the past 15 years.
But almost as soon as the creamery opened on the university’s South Campus, it outgrew its space.
“It was always a little too small and a little too tough to come in and leave at the same time,” said Jen Rodammer of the UDairy Creamery.
Connected to the University of Delaware’s College of Agriculture, the creamery offers products that go beyond ice cream. Everything starts with the university’s agricultural programs.
“We sell honey from our apiary, we sell wool blankets for our sheep, we have Angus beef cuts available too, so we are really the connector between the college and everything we do here,” Rodammer said.
For now, customers can visit a temporary pop-up version of the creamery inside the ice rink next door while construction continues on the main building.
The renovation project, which has closed the creamery’s longtime home and impacted traffic near Townsend Hall, is designed to create a larger and more accessible space. University officials say visitors can expect quicker service, additional seating and more room to enjoy their ice cream.
“So our patio is being completely redone. There’s gonna be benches, chairs, tables and just a lot more friendly and welcoming,” Rodammer said. “It’s not just gonna be the creamery. It’s botanical gardens also.”
By late August, one of the biggest changes will be a stronger connection between the creamery and the University of Delaware’s botanical garden trails, which are free and open to the public. Visitors will be able to walk the trails and see the cows that help produce the milk used in the creamery’s ice cream.
The expansion comes after years of growth for a business that Rodammer said was originally expected to be much smaller.
“I don’t think they thought it was gonna be more than a mom and pop shop. And it really changed quickly. We’ve become a community staple, which is really exciting for us,” she said.
