BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — It wasn't a concert, Monster Jam, or even the Bakersfield Condors that had people lining up outside the Mechanics Bank Arena and Convention Center Monday morning. It was a school assembly of sorts.
The Panama Buena Vista Union School District held its first all-staff meeting in person since the pandemic. More than 2,300 staff members representing more than two dozen campuses in the district all filed into the convention center to celebrate the start of another year. But this year in person.
Panama Buena Vista is the 2nd largest K-8 district in Kern County.
The first day of class is Wednesday.
