The Panama-Buena Vista Union School District board of education approved a plan to begin the 2020-21 school year through distance learning and a closure plan for when students return to school during Tuesday's meeting.
The board also approved delaying the first day of school from Aug. 12 to Aug. 24. The district will make up those days over the year.
