(Atlantic) The staff will start moving from the Achievement Center and High School back to the Atlantic Middle School on June 8 and 9. The July 27 fire at the Middle School forced students and staff to relocate to makeshift classrooms this past school year while construction crews reconstructed the water-damaged building.

Fire officials ruled the fire accidental but never said what caused the blaze. The flames were contained to the roof of the structure, and the heat of the blaze triggered the sprinkler systems inside the facility, coupled with the volume of water used to put out the actual fire caused millions of dollars in damage.
