(Audubon, Iowa) – The Audubon School District’s Board of Education held their regular monthly meeting Monday evening, during which there was a public hearing with regard to Expending funds from the District Flexibility Account. Superintendent Eric Trager explains…

The Board passed a Resolution to expend the funds for any General Fund purpose. In this case, the Board decided to upgrade the District’s school bus fleet with those funds.

Mr. Trager said also, the Certified Enrollment numbers they submit to the State, show a decline.

He said the Board voted to continue with the District’s participation in the Instructional Support Program, as most other districts in the state have also done.

There will be a public hearing during the Board’s regular November meeting, and then act on a Resolution to put an ISL in-place. The Levy, he says, generates about $320-to $330,000 per year, and can be used for any General Fund purpose. It’s paid through a combination of Property AND Income Tax payers. Mr. Trager says that’s to make sure everyone pays their fair share, not just the property owners.
