"What's in a name?
That which we call a rose
by any other name would smell as sweet," Shakespeare said it best perhaps. No, sometimes no amount of name change can change the stigma that comes with certain things. But there is nothing wrong with a valiant effort.

The last piece of news I heard was that Stetser and the Administration
building was sold to Widener and that Widener will lease the buildings back to
the Chester Upland School District to use. Chester High School students were
rumored to move to Showalter and the Administration building to move to the
high school along with STEM and a ninth grade academy. As Receiver Joseph
Watkins refines his plans for the district, here is the latest to come out of a
public meeting on Thursday. This information was not yet posted on cusdrecoveryplan
but on
delcotimes.
Chester High
School will be renamed the Chester Upland Education Center and house several programs
for students: Pre-K classes, community child care, alternative education, early
childhood development, all seventh and eighth grade classes, the ninth grade
academy, and 10th through 12th grade classes.
The administration
building will close and relocate its administrators to the high school.
Chester
Upland School of the Arts (CUSA) will close.
STEM High
School program will move from the Smedley building to the Showalter building.
Stetser,
Main Street, and Toby Farms elementary schools will remain open, operating as
K-6 schools.
Columbus
Elementary School closed in December will remain closed.
The schools
will add art, music, and technology.
“We’ve got our work cut out for us,” Watkins said. “We’re going to make
it work.”
