(Atlantic) The Atlantic School Board on Wednesday voted unanimously to extend the district’s temporary face mask policy through the end of the semester.
The School board initially approved the temporary policy on October 23. The mandate requires face coverings in situations when impossible to social distance. Last month the school board voted to extend the deadline to December 10.
Atlantic Schools Superintendent Steve Barber recommended continuing the mask mandate in locations where a positive case can quarantine many students and staff.
In other business, the board approved the purchase of technology equipment for $14,984.00 and approved the high school parking lot engineering contract to Synder and Associates. Additionally, the school board approved a pay application and a pay proposal request for the athletic facilities improvement project.

Head Varsity Football: Mike McDermott, Assistant Football Coach Lee Saathoff. Junior Varsity Football Coach Joe Brummer, Assistant Junior Varsity Football Coach Oran Perkins, Freshman Football Coach Matt Mullenix, and Middle School Football Coaches; Conner Larsen, Tim Duff, Bryce Casey, and Chase Roller.
