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.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The former city clerk for the small western Iowa city of Casey has been sentenced to five years in prison and will be required to pay restitution in an amount to be set later. Dorothy Dillinger was sentenced Friday. She pleaded guilty to mail fraud and malicious use of fire.

The driver of a 2008 Subaru Legacy was transported to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs, Friday morning, following an accident at the Interstate 29 southbound exit ramp to I-80. The Iowa State Patrol said 53-year old Patrice Mare Northam, of Council Bluffs, was preparing to merge onto I-80 eastbound at around 8:25-a.m., when she lost control of her vehicle. The car spun around and traveled through candle stick cones which had been set up along the south 24th Street exit ramp.

The driver’s side of the car hit the traffic ones, breaking the side view mirror and causing scuff marks to the side of the vehicle. The car came to rest on the should of the off-ramp of South 24th Street. Northam, who was wearing her seat belt, was transported to the hospital by Council Bluffs Fire and Rescue.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The former city clerk for the small western Iowa city of Casey has been sentenced to five years in prison and will be required to pay restitution in an amount to be set later. Dorothy Dillinger was sentenced Friday.

She had entered a plea agreement in May admitting she lit the City Hall building on fire in August 2014, the night before state auditors were to arrive to investigate missing money she’d taken and used for personal expenses since 2009.

She pleaded guilty to mail fraud and malicious use of fire. Federal prosecutors are seeking more than $2 million in restitution to pay for rebuilding City Hall and replacing contents including tax returns, tools, city maps and a Santa suit.

Dillinger, who is 61, was city clerk for 30 years.
