In 1 week Benton Panthers will be back in the classroom for the 2021-2022 school year. The School Board approved on Monday August 9th to purchase air purifiers for all classrooms in the district.
With this purchase, students and staff will begin the year under the same guidelines as we ended the 2020-2021 school year. Masks will be optional for staff and students.
We will continue to follow guidelines from the Arkansas Department of Health and Arkansas Department of Education.

CONGRATULATIONS!
