(Audubon, Iowa) – An Audubon Community School District Building Project has hit a snag. Superintendent Eric Trager said he couldn’t legally comment on all the specifics because of pending litigation against the General Contractor, who Trager says “Backed-out” on the project about two and a-half weeks ago.

He said it’s unclear right now, how far this might set the project completion timeline back.

He said Camblin Mechanical out of Atlantic and Nelson Electric out of Carroll, are “doing such a great job and are ahead of schedule” on their part of the project.

In any case, a delay in getting a General Contractor isn’t expected t affect the start of school year, on August 23rd.

In other business, Superintendent Trager said the Audubon School Board approved six Summer Launch Program contracts.

And, the Board, he says, hired Gary Keller, who will come back to teach vocal music until a permanent replacement is found for a late resignation, and, Brad Kirchhoff will serve as the Assistant Wrestling Coach next year.
