The Audubon Community School District’s Board of Education met Monday night at the High School. Superintendent Brett Gibbs told KJAN News the Board approved the Fiscal Year 2017 School Calendar, which has some changes from the way the semesters are run. Gibbs says the district will utilize a “Balanced Semester” next year, which means the first semester will end after the Christmas break instead of beforehand. Classes will resume afterward and wrap the semester most likely the first Friday afterward.
The 2016-17 School Year will begin August 23rd. Gibbs said also, because they’ve missed 5 days so far due to the weather, the current school year will end on June 2nd for students (except graduating Seniors – there is no change in the date for graduation), with the teachers’ last day being June 3rd.
In other business, the Audubon School Board received the Audubon Education Association’s initial bargaining proposal. The Association requested a 6-percent total package increase. The Board will come back and meet with the Association again within 10-days, to present its initial proposal.
After that, action depends on what the State Legislators do as far as State Aid is concerned. In other business, the Audubon School Board approved a quote from MUSCO lighting for the Softball Field lighting project. The project will come in at $57,000, which was about $20,000 less than expected. The Board he says, was happy with that.
The next step is getting a company lined-up to replace the fencing, and for some infield work to be done. Those projects aren’t expected to start until after this spring’s season games have wrapped-up, probably in July or August at the earliest. The project will be paid for using the District’s PPEL (Physical Plant and Equipment Levy).

Guthrie Center high school played host to a pair of Class 1A first round playoff games on Monday. The games were first round play-in games to fill out the bracket for the quarterfinal round which will be played on Thursday around the state.
The first game of the night saw the CAM Cougars jump out to an early lead and held on late for a 61-55 win over Riverside. CAM raced to an 11 point lead by the end of the first quarter behind 8 points from Sophomore Point Guard Thomas Hensley, who finished as the games leading scorer with 23 points. Riverside went on a brief spurt in the second to cut the lead to 6 but CAM pushed it back out to a 14 point lead at half. Riverside tried to rally late but the Cougars were able to hold on to the lead by shooting 9-14 from the free throw line in the 4th quarter. Sophomore Nick Holste helped out the effort with 19 points for CAM. Riverside was led by Tyler Krueger with 20 points. The Bulldogs see their season end while CAM moves on to play at 7th-ranked IKM-Manning on Thursday at 8:00pm.
The second half of the double header was a match-up of programs that will be combining school districts next year Adair-Casey and Guthrie Center. Guthrie Center was able to take an early edge in a very low scoring first half of basketball as the Tigers led 19-13 at the break. After halftime the Tigers slowly increased their production and their lead and won the game 51-33. Senior Sam Courtney led Guthrie Center with 23 points while TJ Wickland added 15 points. The leading scorer for Adair-Casey was Colton Sargent with 14 points. Adair-Casey’s season ends while Guthrie Center moves on to play Paton-Churdan on Thursday at 6:30pm, a game that will be played at IKM-Manning.
