It will cost $30 million to bring students to and from public schools this year, compared to $18 million the year before Katrina. The increase appears to be a consequence of citywide enrollment and the shift from a centrally-run school system. A few schools are working together to negotiate busing contracts.
As almost an afterthought to a quick meeting of Audubon Charter School’s F.A.M.E. board this past Saturday, it was announced that the permit for the disputed Broadway contract had been picked up by a contractor and cleared for continuation. An old custodial house on Audubon’s 428 Broadway campus had been mostly dismantled, but a civil complaint by the Upper Audubon Neighborhood Association had kept the structure from being moved and renovated.
The leadership of Audubon Charter School will hold a public hearing on its proposed 2012-13 budget Saturday at 11:30 a.m., 719 S. Carrollton Ave., seeking input from parents and community members. Next year’s budget, which goes into effect July 1, is 2 percent higher than the current year, rising from $6.72 million to $6.84 million.

Students at Audubon Charter School will have a temporary home next year after all. The school is slated to move by January to the old Jean Gordon School site on Chatham Drive in Gentilly while its Broadway campus undergoes a $14 million renovation, expected to take two years.
