During the Jan. 12 regular meeting of the Panorama School Board, the boardmembers discussed the possibility of switching to a four-day school week. Superintendent Kasey Huebner stressed that the board is merely exploring the idea at this time, and no decisions have been made.
“Our current focus is on gathering information and practical logistics to ensure this transition would benefit our students and community based on other districts’ experiences,” Huebner said.
The school board is requesting additional information from other school districts and is investigating how such a schedule would work. If the board wishes to pursue the idea, a survey will be sent to families.
In other news, the board received an update on a planned roof replacement.
“The board has approved the design proposal from SVPA, an architectural firm. They will oversee the replacement of the elementary school roof, which is planned for this summer, pending favorable bids,” Huebner said. “We have also included the roof above the weight room as an alternative in this proposal, contingent on receiving favorable bids.”
The board’s next regular meeting is set for Monday, Feb. 9 at 5:30 p.m. The public is welcome.
