PANAMA Changes in state guidance on social distancing in classrooms won’t change Panama Central School’s plan for the final 10 weeks of the school year.
Bert Lictus, district superintendent, told board members the state’s recent adoption of Centers for Disease Control guidance cutting social distancing from 6 feet to 3 feet doesn’t mean much for Western New York schools because the region is still considered a high COVID-19 transmission area. While other schools are bringing more students back into the classroom, many Panama students have already been in the classroom all year.
“In terms of a reopening plan I’m going to recommend we continue doing what we’ve done,” Lictus said. “We’re one of a few schools in the county that have not had to go remote, and I think our staff has done a good job. We’ll tweak, but there’s no change.”
