Wolanin this week attributed the delays and proposed changes to, among other things, financial hardships due to “skyrocketing prices,” as well crew loss, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We have to be willing to listen, willing to look hard at ourselves, and willing to continue to try to get better as we go along,” said Superintendent Marie Wiles.

While the proposal faces other questions, the ruling allows the approval process to proceed.
