The Atlantic Community School District’s Board of Education will gather Monday evening in the High School Media Center for a regularly scheduled meeting. On the agenda for the 7:30-p.m. session, is action on approving a lease agreement for a new mobile classroom for the Washington School, along with approval of an amended salary schedule for certified staff for the 2013-2014 school year, and approval of school bus bids.

The school board will review and consider bids for buses similar to those purchased last year. They included an 84- and 64-passenger bus. Together, those two buses, one of which is powered by propane, cost almost $193,000.

The Board will also discuss staff and other instructional support needs for the district’s Level 3 program for students with behavioral issues. Last March, the Board approved the 2013-2014 calendar year budget, which did not include funding for the Link Center. The facility provides various psychiatric and educational services to students. Last year, it served 19 students.

In other business, the Board will discuss a proposed Band/Choir trip, and Capital Projects.
