The foundation has been poured for the new elementary school, which will be the district’s first two-story elementary school. The school board approved increasing the guaranteed maximum price for Audubon Elementary during a July 17 meeting by $620,000 as a result of design changes necessitated by the Audubon community. The prior GMP was $1 million under budget, district officials said.
