“I think it was a composite of a lot of different factors with COVID and the stresses that people have been experiencing this year and a learning gap that has been created,” John Lehners, chair of the public school board said while noting several issues went into the decision. “Obviously, there are some concerns about how effective the new curriculum would be. It was just a lot of different things adding up, and it became a little bit overwhelming, so I think the board said, ‘ You know what? (We) think we are going to try and take a different route and try and participate in a solution’ but piloting it right now was just not something we had the manpower or ability to do.”
