Pusey Avenue School slated for demolition by borough
Collingdale officials plan to tear down the 1914 Pusey Avenue Elementary School after the Southeast Delco School Board agreed to sell the property to the borough for 1. A $50,000 state grant will fund the site’s development into a new softball field and potential basketball courts, as residents hope for upgraded community recreation.

W-S parents win despite opposition
Six graders from Swarthmore and Rutledge will return to Swarthmore Elementary in September as the Wallingford Swarthmore school board votes unanimously to include 6th grade in the elementary building for two years. Superintendent George Slick backs the move amid earlier opposition. The plan follows a fire-damaged wing and a 1983 consolidation of high schools. A joint committee will study pros and cons of the two buildings.

Pollution agency: refinery fined for flare emissions
The Delaware Environmental Regulation reports that on April 11 and September 22, 1980 emissions from the refinery main flare exceeded state limits. BP faces a $52,000 assessment, but DER says funds go to the Bureau of Air Quality Control for fighting air pollution, not direct resident compensation.
