(Atlantic, Iowa) – (UPDATED)  The Atlantic School Board, Wednesday evening, agreed to meet in the District’s Central Office at the Achievement Center this Friday, April 28th, at 2:30-p.m., for the purpose of reviewing applications that have been received from persons interested in the Superintendent and School Business Official (SBO) positions. The review process is just one of several steps necessary to find a suitable replacement for those Administrative jobs. The District says the review will take place in a CLOSED SESSION, as allowed under the Code of Iowa.

As of April 26th, there have been two applications for the SBO position currently held by Sarah Sheeder. It’s not clear how many applications have been received so far for the Superintendent’s job. Both positions became open with the resignations earlier this month of Superintendent Barber, whose last day is June 30th, and Sheeder, whose last day is May 31st.

The actual interviews with candidates for those positions will be scheduled following a review of qualified individuals’ resume and application.
