(Atlantic, Iowa) – Members of the Atlantic School District’s Board of Education held a work session Wednesday evening. Before they discussed an update to their Strategic Plan, the Board toured the Middle School, to check on progress made in the renovation process that has taken place, following a fire at the school last July. Most of the damage was from water used to keep the flames that began on the roof, from spreading, as well as a copious amount of smoke.

Superintendent Steve Barber sent KJAN News some pictures of the progress that’s been made to date. (Updated w/additional pics on 1/28/22)
