Members of the Atlantic School District’s Board of Education will meet Wednesday evening, in the High School Media Center. Their session begins at 5:30, and includes accepting the resignation of Danna Saeugling from the High School Student Council. The Board will also discuss the Superintendent’s evaluation process. Action items on their agenda include a contract for Driver’s Ed services, the Middle School Gym Bleacher replacement, and action on the 2018-19 Master Contract with the Atlantic Education Association.

During their meeting April 11th, the Board came under fire from several teachers and their families, who were under the assumption there would be a would be a zero percent increase in their pay raise and supplemental pay, in light of declining enrollment and questions over State Supplemental Support. The following week, a complaint was filed by the School District against the Atlantic Education Association, with regard to an alleged Collective Bargaining violation under the Iowa Code.
