The Atlantic School District’s Board of Education will meet in a regularly scheduled session 6-p.m. Wednesday, in the High School Media Center. Among the items on their agenda, is a Special Presentation, with regard to a Home School Assistance Program, and action on the resignation of Jordan Mullen – Head Boys Track Coach, along with contract recommendations for: Clint Weppler – Link Center Paraeducator; Abby Becker – Head Boys Track Coach; and Mark Anderson – Volunteer Boys Soccer Coach.

The Board will receive an update on, and discuss, the district facilities projects, as well as the 2020-21 School Calendar. Action items include approving the 2019-20 Amended/Certified Budget; setting the date and time for a Public Hearing on the 2020-21 School Calendar as March 11th, at 6-p.m.; Acting on a three-year contract for Auditing services with Nolte, Cornman and Johnson, P.C., in the amount of $31,500; and a Technology Purchase that includes 20 access points, one cachebox, and 5-years of support with an 80/20 split with E-rate paying the larger cost, with the total cost to the District amounting to just under $10,000 ($9,676.84).

The idea is that the new technology will increase the internet capacity to 10 Gig, and add a wireless access point for the Middle School as additional computers to the 1:1 program.
