The Atlantic School District Board of Education met in a regular monthly session Wednesday evening, at the High School. Superintendent Steve Barber said they are continuing with discussion with regard to a name for the former Cass, Incorporated Building the District Purchased for use as the Cass County Educational Opportunity Center (CCEOC) and Links Building. He said the Board wants to see the name centered around “achievement,” so they are working on the final details as to what that might be. They will take ideas from students who will attend courses in the building and derive an appropriate name from those ideas.

The CCEOC students, he said, came up with three ideas, and the Links students another. The Links students came up with the acronym “Achieve.” He says they will work to combine those thoughts for what’s currently there, and a potential career academy or academies, down the road. It was also noted that the newly remodeled building is nearly finalized, with the price coming in very close to the bid price.

Mr. Barber said also, they took action with regard to Open Enroll-Out spending (granting that authority). And, High School Jennifer Gaesser) High School, Vocal Instructor, along with High School Instrument Instructor Jarrod O’Donnell, reminded the Board that four students, two choir members and two band members, will be participating November 18^th, in the All-State Music Festival that runs from November 16^th to 18th.
