The Atlantic School District’s Board of Education, met Tuesday evening, to discuss the prospects and costs for improvements and/or possible additions to the District’s facilities. Superintendent Dr. Michael Amstein said Jerry Purdy, with the Design Alliance Architect firm, was on-hand to go over the current status of the District’s buildings, with regard to space needs, and went over a scenario for construction in all of the buildings to address those needs. He also went over the cost projection for the options the Board is considering. (Click on the left side of the audio bars to listen)

Amstein says the Board needed the information to prioritize and put together a Capital Improvements Plan for the Districts. He says if the renovation option was selected, there would be several improvements made to the District’s buildings.

Snyder and Associates Engineers, who conducted the Athletic Facilities study for the District, were also at Tuesday’s meeting. They provided an overview of the various options and costs associated with the baseball/softball complex, the Trojan Bowl, the possibility of another gymnasium at the high school that would provide training rooms, additional lockers and storage space

At their next regular meeting, the Atlantic School Board will examine all the information available and try to put together a feasible plan to address the need for space, as well as how to pay for the projects.
