The Atlantic School District’s Board of Education has two, back-to-back meetings coming up Tuesday in the High School Media Center. First, at 4:30-p.m., the Board will hold a closed session per Iowa Code, with regard to a Student Expulsion Hearing, followed by action on approving the Expulsion of “Student A,” and adjournment

At 5:30-p.m., Tuesday, the Board will reconvene and act on approving the resignation of Theresa Pudio Legg, a Para Educator at Schuler Elementary. They will also hold discussion with representatives from the Design Alliance (Architecture firm) and Snyder and Associates Engineers, with regard to District facilities.

Last month, District administrators met individually with Jerry Purdy from Design Alliance to discuss their building needs and what the impact of space would be if they had additions to their buildings.  They also discussed the impact of space and needs if a new building addition was done at the high school for junior high and grades were shifted throughout the remaining buildings. Athletic facilities were also discussed.

Dr. Michael Amstein reported that Business Manager Mary Beth Fast had contacted the owners of the old YMCA building and told them the district was not interested in their building at this time.  The board also discussed The Car Guys lease for the CCEOC and Link Center and asked Amstein to look into a year to year lease.
