(Audubon, Iowa) – The Board of Education for the Audubon Community School District, Monday, approved the establishment of a fundraiser that will allow student free admission to all local school activities. Currently, students need to buy a Student Activities Pass or pay admission at the gate for various activities. Superintendent Eric Trager said the Board acknowledged that for some families, the cost is barrier to attending school events.

More information will be forthcoming on plans for the fundraiser. And, while the pilot program will be new to the Audubon District, it’s not an entirely new concept.

In other business, the Audubon School Board approved facilities project change orders amounting to just $127.

Mr. Trager updated the Board on plans for the Bus Garage project, during Monday night’s meeting.

And, the Board, Monday, approved the hiring of Kris Obermeier – Head Softball Coach, and the resignation of Jaime Christensen, who serves as the front office Secretary, Human Resources, and Assistant School Business Official (SBO), among many of her duties.
