Atlantic School Board votes to terminate Jesse McCann
During a brief meeting of the Atlantic Community School District’s Board of Education last night, the Board voted to terminate the employment of former High School Counselor Jesse McCann. Their action followed a motion by Board Member Chet Meneely, based on a recommendation by Superintendent Dr. Beth Johnsen. Prior to the vote, the Atlantic School Board heard from Liam Spencer, a student at Atlantic High School, an advocate for a recent student protest and representing some of the students with regard to the district’s handling of McCann’s employment earlier this month and in months prior, when allegations began to surface concerning his alleged inappropriate behavior with students. No charges have been filed against McCann in connection with the allegations. More than 40 people attended the meeting, and at least 118 people watched the meeting via YouTube.
