• Wayne Schools Move to Two-Hour Delayed Openings; Pines Lake Repairs Expected to Be Completed on Time (tapinto.net) — Wayne families should expect a new two-hour delayed opening schedule for bad-weather days starting with the 2026–27 school year, giving crews more time to clear snow around school buildings. Officials also say roof and moisture repairs at Pines Lake Elementary and other facility upgrades districtwide remain on schedule, with added security work and transportation tweaks aimed at a smoother, safer opening.
