Inc. board meeting this Saturday began with the Audubon Charter School’s Principal Janice Dupuy updating the board on her and Assistant Principal Dawn Collins’ recent attendance at the COMPASS School Leader Evaluator Training in Baton Rouge.

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. Construction is now scheduled to begin immediately.
