There has been a delay by the Christina School Board in its final decision on its three priorities.
Last night the school board said it wanted to allow the communities to have time to study a new compromise plan that is the result of discussions between the district and state officials.
The delay means that the months-long debate will continue on the board between those who want to compromise with the state and those who want to make a stand.
At issue is how best to turn around the schools that serve some of worst neighborhoods in Wilmington.
Governor Jack Markell had ordered the school to be shut down if there was no agreement by last week between the district and state officials.
But the governor’s office has relented allowing more time for discussion and review.
