(Atlantic) The Atlantic School Board approved an adjustment to the FY27 high school calendar to accommodate the CTE Summit.
Atlantic High School Principal Dr. James Brauer said this is the first time Green Hills AEA has hosted the summit. He said it will bring together southwest Iowa superintendents, CTE coordinators, instructors, and students representing various organizations.
Brauer said Atlantic is fortunate to be the host for the event.
The summit will be held February 15. The calendar adjustment includes a one-hour early dismissal for high school students only.
