Serving
on the School Board is a challenging responsibility requiring leadership,
vision, dedication and a code of ethics. Our school board members are entrusted with one of
the most important responsibilities for our children – ensuring that
Atlantic Community School District help students obtain the highest levels of
educational achievement. While
school board members receive no pay, the reward comes with the satisfaction
of meeting the needs of our children and our community. |

Spanning the next five years, the Comprehensive
School Improvement Plan (CSIP) will be the guide that benefits students achievements through continuous school
improvement. This plan was
developed to meet the state law and the federal guidelines required by the No
Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation.
The plan evolved from basically four questions: 1)
What do data tell us about our student-learning needs? 2)
What do/will we do to meet student-learning needs? 3)
How do/will we know that student learning has changed? 4)
How will we evaluate our programs and services to ensure improved
student learning? An integral component is the districtÕs career
development plan that focuses on providing staff members training to improve
student learning. This staff development
must be based on research-based best practices, must be supported by the
studentsÕ needs based on achievement data, and must be identified in the
CSIP. This plan also outlines
how the other state and federal programs and services (Title I, II, and IV,
the mentoring program, TAG, Perkins, At-Risk, the special education programs
and services) from which the Atlantic Community School District receives
monies are annually evaluated. |

On May 8, 2001 the voters of Atlantic
School District approved renewal of the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy
(PPEL) that is funded through income surtax and local property taxes. The PPEL provides the district
with the additional money needed to properly maintain and upgrade buildings
and facilities. With declining
student enrollment the district is unable to obtain as much ŌGeneral FundĶ money which is needed for education purposes. The PPEL
levy provides the district with money for maintenance, repairs, and upkeep of
its infrastructure and the purchase of equipment costing over $500 per
item. With the use of PPEL monies during
2007-08, the district was able to purchase computers and security
cameras. Maintenance and
repair items included roofing, tuckpointing, and
sidewalk repair. PPEL expenditures for 2007-08 were
$236,517.11. |
