Pana Superintendent Jason Bauer Discusses The School's Transition Plan

The Pana School District has released their “Transition Plan.” The plan is for students to be in the classroom 5 days a week, but parts of the school day will be extremely different this year and that includes both Physical Education and Recess. According to Superintendent Jason Bauer, the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) is encouraging more physical activity and less group activities.     

 

 

If there is a positive COVID-19 test in one of the Pana School District classrooms, that classroom will be moved to remote learning for a period of 14 calendar days and the guidelines put forth by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and ISBE will be followed.

 

 

The district’s transition plan talks a lot about a watch list. Superintendent Bauer explained that the watch list will be keeping an eye on the number of cases in the Pana area and the potential symptoms that could be coming into any of the Pana schools.

 

 

Children haven’t had a normal childhood since March and Superintendent Bauer said that they’re trying to bring some sense of normalcy back for them.
