(KNZA)--The start of school for students in the South Brown Schools of USD 430 has been pushed back.
The USD 430 Board of Education, during a special meeting Wednesday, approved an updated calendar for the 2020-21 school year.
Under the revised calendar, PreK-5, 7th and 9th graders, along with any new students will begin school on August 24. All students will begin on August 25.
The first day of school was originally planned for August 18.
Superintendent Jason Cline said moving back the start date for students will allow staff members to prepare for the new school year and the additional needs due to COVID-19.
