(Audubon, Iowa) – The Audubon School Board held their regular monthly meeting Wednesday evening. Superintendent Eric Trager told the Board “It’s a busy week for us.”

Trager said during the meeting, the Audubon School Board approved a DMACC Student Teacher Observation Contract, Student Handbooks, a 28-E agreement with the North Central Consortium, Building Project change orders, and, a Mediation Settlement with the General Contractor for the Building Project.

The settlement was for part of the Delta (the difference between the original and final bid).

In the end, Eric Trager said, “We will finish the project on-time and on-budget.” He said there never was any explanation of why the contractor failed to perform as agreed to.

The bottom line is, there is zero financial impact to the District Patrons. Mr. Trager said, with regard to personnel, for all intents and purposes, they are fully-staffed for the upcoming school year.
