BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) â Like many parents, some with students of the Panama Buena Vista School District are calling for transparency and would like to be more involved in the returning process for in-person learning. Jason Cohen is one of those parents and says the process has been frustrating.
My name is Bryan Easter and I proudly serve as the assistant principal of instruction at Frontier High School and most recently have been elected to serve as a trustee for the Panama-Buena Vista Union School District. My campus has had empty hallways for nearly 10 months. Students, parents and school officials have had their educational environments turned upside down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As we near a full year of students learning remotely through a screen, our local community continues to grapple with questions about why our students remain in a distance learning only format. Distance learning is heaping unprecedented consequences on the future academic achievement and lifelong wellbeing of our students, especially students of color.
