The Audubon School District’s Board of Education met Monday night in a regular session. Part of their meeting included the election of officers. Sarah Asmus will continue as President, and one of the newer board members, Heath Hansen, was elected Vice-President. John Roberts will continue as Board Secretary. Superintendent Brett Gibbs told KJAN News the Board voted to continue the Superintendent and Elementary Counselor positions with the Coon Rapids-Bayard School District. Their current three-year agreement with the CR-B District is expiring, and meetings will be set-up with the Coon Rapids-Bayard Board to extend the agreement, sometime in the near future. It would also maintain the current number of administrators at 2.6.

Gibbs said the Audubon School Board agreed to offer one Early Retirement for the Administration. He said two administrators are potentially qualified for Early Retirement, including himself. Gibbs said the decision still needs to be made with regard to the direction he wants to go. He said most days he loves his job, but like with any job, there are days that make you want to reconsider. The Board plans to continue to maintain the same level of administration currently in-place, which Gibbs said is something he’s been pushing for.

Superintendent Gibbs said also, that the District’s preliminary enrollment numbers look good. Right now, he says, it appears they are up eight-or nine-students, while another survey shows the District is up 16 students, because of more open-enrolled in then out students, and the pre-K is up one student. Those numbers could change by the Oct. 1^st certification, but Gibbs said the enrollment numbers look good and appear to be in-line with what they’ve projected.
