Alignment Bay County Executive Director Aimee Bright credits the community for coming together to support the teachers. She said she believes they deserve it because of what they ve been through the past couple years. We’ve asked a lot of our schools over the last two years, Bright said. We feel it’s important to show teachers and all staff members that they are important in our community.”
Bay District Schools Superintendent Bill Husfelt said the snacks won t lighten the workload teachers have, but they show that teachers are valued. Husfelt said it s refreshing to see the community show its appreciation for the teachers who have been giving it their all.
PANAMA CITY Graduation rates in Bay District School are in danger of falling this year as some students have struggled to learn amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
High school administrators are concerned because some schools have at least half of their honors students getting D s and F s this year. With pandemic restrictions in the classroom, combined with distance learning causing problems for some students, officials are worried some seniors won t pull up their grades enough this semester to graduate on time.
As concern has mounted, Superintendent Bill Husfelt decided to visit high schools in the county this past week to motivate seniors in the final months before graduation.
