Though over 90% of the reforms outlined in their internal review are underway — including improved employee performance tracking and annual reviews — key details remain pending. Jeremy, now 16 and reliant on head and neck movement, refuses to return to the pool and hopes the changes prevent future tragedies. His family remains silent on the latest progress report. The pool reopened this summer, but the emotional and physical scars linger. With the superintendent unavailable for comment, the district remains focused on turning tragedy into tangible safety improvements across all its facilities.
