The board of directors of the Panorama Community School District met at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, March 9 for two public hearings and the regular board meeting. Although several items were on the agenda, the one of most interest to those in attendance was the approval of the 2026-2027 School Calendar, which included the proposed change to a four-day school week.

Approximately 20 people were at the meeting, and discussion became somewhat heated in the public hearing that was related to the topic. Ultimately, the change was approved by a 4-1 vote with directors Deb Westergaard, Clint Deardorff, Damon Crandall and Heidi Clark voting in favor and Mark Cates voting against.
