The Atlantic School Board will meet in a regular session Wednesday in the High School Media Center, beginning at 5:30-p.m. On their agenda is a presentation with regard to the Girls Golf Team, followed by approval of the first reading of Board Policies pertaining to Student Conduct, and, a Negative Balance. The Board is also expected act on approving the purchase of a 2017 Chevy Suburban from Karl Chevrolet in Ankeny, for $31,938, which is reduced $7,600 thanks to proceeds from insurance.

The District’s 2005 Suburban was totaled during an accident in Dubuque on January 10th. The 2005 vehicle will be repurchased by the District for the salvage value of $1,050, and repaired, since Transportation Director Dave Eckles thinks it can be made road worthy again. It would only be used as a staff vehicle, however, and not to transport students.

Among the items up for discussion during Wednesday’s meeting, is an update on the 2017-18 Certified Budget, and Summer 2017 Capital Projects.
