Atlantic School Board approves termination, financials, policy review and club; sets hearing dates
Summary
At the Feb. 11 meeting the board approved a superintendent-recommended termination of an employee named Jesse, approved the financial report, completed a second reading of the 600-series policies, approved an FCA student club and set public hearing dates for the master calendar (March 25) and FY27 budget (March 6).
The Atlantic School Board at its Feb. 11 meeting approved several routine and personnel actions, including a motion to move forward on a superintendent’s recommendation to terminate an employee identified only as Jesse.
The termination motion was made and seconded and carried with affirmative votes recorded from attending board members. The transcript shows board members responding in the affirmative during the roll-call style vote; the meeting record did not include additional detail about the personnel matter beyond the motion and vote.
The board also heard a financial update: finance staff reported the district is at month seven of the fiscal year and has spent approximately 48% of the annual budget, leaving roughly 52% unspent with about 42% of the fiscal year remaining. A motion to approve the financial report was moved, seconded and carried.
On policy, the board completed the second reading of the 600-series policies (operations/construction-adjacent items) and approved them with no substantive changes identified at the meeting. The board described the five-year review process for policies and noted minimal revisions.
Members approved formation of an FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) student club at Atlantic High School after clarifying the club’s service orientation and student-led structure; Coach Ferguson was referenced in discussion of the club’s sponsorship and liability considerations.
Finally, the board set public hearing dates: a work session/public hearing for the 2026–27 master calendar on March 25 and Public Hearing No. 1 for the FY27 budget on March 6.
Public comment at the start of the meeting included student Liam Spencer urging stronger employment-screening procedures to enhance school safety; Spencer said students who organized recent protests want clearer plans to prevent future incidents. Board members noted that public comment is not an interactive Q&A but heard the student’s request.
The meeting adjournment was attempted after the listed agenda items; audio cuts off as participants moved to adjourn.
