Members of the Atlantic City Council are set to receive a presentation Wednesday, with regard to Child Care in the community and in Cass County. On November 5th, Officials with Childcare Resource & Referral of Southwest Iowa (CCR&R) reported multiple childcare programs in Atlantic had closed their doors over the previous two-weeks, for a variety of reasons. That left almost 100 children without childcare, and prompted CCR&R to host a “Child Care Ready ” series, an online recruitment event, with hopes to recruit, retain, train and support quality childcare and early education providers.
CCR&R officials said that have partnered with the Iowa Women’s Foundation to provide a small $250 incentive grant to each participant who completes the series. Funding will be primarily used to pay for costs associated with the start-up of becoming a childcare home provider opening a Child Development Home business.
During Wednesday’s 5:30-p.m. Council meeting, officials with the Cass-Atlantic Development Corporation (CADCO), Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce, and CCR&R will appear before the Council to discuss the program and other, childcare-related matters. Due to new COVID restrictions, the meeting will be held via Zoom.
Southwest Valley Community School District Superintendent Chris Fenster, Friday, announced on social media, that a mask mandate would begin today (Monday), for all students. Saying ” It’s time to Step Up and Mask Up!”
(Fenster says students will be required to wear face masks or gaiters. He says those students without face coverings will be sent home.)
SWV has had two new cases in the teaching ranks, one at Southwest Valley Middle School and one at Corning Elementary. The students affected have been contacted, and the staff members are at home recuperating. On Friday, there was a 19-percent positivity rate in Adams County. Today (Monday), the rate is 18.3-percent. The mask mandate, Fenster said is an added layer of protection in order to keep students in school and not have to go to remote learning.
(He said the staff will try and give the students as many breaks as possible from the face coverings. The students aren’t going to like it, but they’re doing this for our students and staff’s safety so we can have school.)
More Guidance will follow on High School sports before the first game on November 30th.
