The Atlantic Community School District’s Board of Education met Wednesday evening at the High School.
Superintendent Dr. Mike Amstein said the Board unanimously approved the hiring of Jennifer Gaesser, as the Vocal Music Teacher for the High School, as a replacement for Lucas Johnson, who has served with the District for the past 5-years. Gaesser comes to the District from Winterset, where she served for the past 7-years as the 7th and 8th grade Vocal Music Instructor. Superintendent Dr. Mike Amstein said Gaesser came highly recommended by Winterset Superintendent Mike Wells, who himself, is moving on to become Superintendent at the Cedar Rapids.
In other business, Amstein said the Board tentatively discussed setting their goals for the upcoming school year. He said the Board asked him to make some adjustments to the draft, with the final copy to be presented to them during their meeting in July.

The U-S House should start debating the Farm Bill early next month after the Senate last week passed its version of the 498-billion-dollar, five-year bill. Chuck Hassebrook, executive director of the Center for Rural Affairs, says the Senate’s one-thousand-page version includes some positive elements for rural areas. “The amendments before the full Senate added rural development funding to the bill for beginning farmers, small business development, for small towns who have to update their water and sewer systems,” Hassebrook says. “We’re very pleased by that because as the bill came out of committee, it would’ve been the first (farm) bill in decades to include no funding for rural development.”
The Senate version of the farm bill eliminates the five-billion-dollar a year direct payment subsidy, while the primary farm program is crop insurance. Hassebrook says that’s not good news for family farms or beginning farmers. “There will be no payment limitation what-so-ever on crop insurance,” he says. “If one corporation farms the entire states of Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota, the government would pay 60% of their crop insurance premium on every acre. That’s not only fiscally irresponsible, it essentially subsidizes those big companies to drive out family-sized farms.”
As the debate moves to the House next month, Hassebrook hopes to see more cuts in subsidies to corporate operators and more expansion of rural development funding. “Past farm bills have over-subsidized the biggest farms and underinvested in the future of rural America,” he says. “They’ve underinvested in beginning farmers. They’ve underinvested in rural communities, small business development, and so we’re going to pitch for a farm bill that cuts back on subsidies to mega-farms and invests more in creating a better future in rural America.”
The Farm Bill passed the Senate on a 64-to-35 vote and cuts back Ag spending by about 23-billion dollars over current levels. The Center for Rural Affairs is based in Lyons, Nebraska.
