The Atlantic School Board, at Wednesday’s meeting, will, as planned, re-examine district guidelines for the use of Face Masks/shields.Their meeting begins at 6-p.m. in the High School Media Center, and will be recorded for public viewing once the meeting concludes.

As we have mentioned previously, the School board on October 23rd approved the current policy requiring a face cover in those circumstance when it is impossible to social distance. During their meeting late last month, the board decided to extend the deadline until this Thursday, December 10th. According to Wednesday’s agenda, Superintendent Steve Barber will recommend continuing the mask mandate in locations where a positive case can quarantine many students and staff.
