(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Atlantic Community School District’s Board of Education will hold Work and Exempt sessions Wednesday evening. Both sessions will be held 6:30-p.m. in the Conference Room at the Achievement Center on SW 7th Street.
The Work Session will feature a presentation from and discussion with District Architectural Firm SVPA. During the Board’s work session in late March, SVPA officials said discussions with school officials included making Washington Elementary fit the space needs of students as a top priority for the district with regard to a master plan for the district buildings. They said that could mean adding an addition onto building to the west and/or renovating parts of the current building. Any project with renovation of or addition to Washington Elementary carries an estimated price tag of $15-to 20 million dollars.
Another identified priority was the addition of a field house near the high school. That also carries an estimated cost of $15-to 20 million, with a smaller option costing between being $12-and $15- million.
In other business, the Atlantic School Board, Wednesday, will hold an Exempt Session for the purpose of staff salary Negotiations.
