(Atlantic) Atlantic School Superintendent Dr. Beth Johnsen discussed the Snow Day plan with the Atlantic School Board on Wednesday evening. Dr. Johnsen stated that they plan to follow the same approach as last year, but their biggest concern is how the calendar is structured, with the final days of school coinciding closely with Memorial Day weekend.
