The Atlantic School Board, Wednesday evening, approved three resignations (previously mentioned on our news). Superintendent Steve Barber said school policy requires the positions to be filled with a suitable replacement unless there are unusual circumstances. With regard to the resignations of Susan Wedemeyer, High School Art Teacher, Jeff Ebling, Middle School Social Studies Teacher and Head Boys Basketball Coach, and Erin Ebling, Middle School English Language Arts, Teacher and Student Council Sponsor, Barber said “We have advertised anticipated openings and received applicants for all but a Special Education” position.

And, while there hasn’t been time to determine their suitable replacements just yet, he still recommended approval. The Board also acted on approving contract recommendations for the following:

• Vanessa Perkins and Sarah Rose, Middle School Summer Teachers
• Minden Jones, Washington Secretary
• Susannah O’Dette, Washington Paraeducator,
• and Bryce Smith, Alternative Education Teacher.

The latter two were late additions to the agenda. The school board also reviewed a handful of upcoming dates. Mr. Barber said the last day of school is Friday May 28, with a 90-minute early dismissal. The end of year reception/employee recognition is scheduled for June 3rd, and 8:00 a.m., and the next regular Board meeting is June 9th, at 6:00 p.m.
