PRESS RELEASE
Voters Approve Madison District Public Schools Bond Proposal
On November 2, 2021, voters approved Madison District Public Schools bond proposal that will allow the district to make critical infrastructure repairs and upgrades.
The bond will enable the district to replace roofs at Madison High School, Wilkinson Middle School, and Madison Early Childhood Center. New HVAC systems will be installed at the high school, providing air conditioning, improved air quality, boiler replacement, piping replacements, and other upgrades. Classrooms will also receive electrical improvements with more outlets, new ceiling tiles, upgraded lighting and a revamped security entrance. All of this work will create a better learning environment for our students and staff. The project will have guaranteed costs, scope, and savings.
The next step is for the Board of Education and administration to work with the selected contractor and architectural engineering team to begin finalizing plans. Construction may begin as soon as June 2022.
Board President Cindy Holder said “I am thankful for the community’s vote of confidence exhibited with the passing of the bond request. Our staff and students deserve to enjoy the reparations this bond will provide. Additionally, we will continue work diligently to be fiscally responsible and accountable for each dollar spent.”
Superintendent Angel Abdulahad added “I am humbled at the level of trust our families and residents have exhibited in the passage of this bond. We will continue to work tirelessly to provide the best education possible to our students.”
“We are thankful for a community that supports the students of Madison District Public Schools and public education. Your approval provides the resources to continue to serve students with a quality education while creating a more sustainable learning environment that our district needs.”
Madison District Public Schools will continue to keep the community informed throughout the process using the district website, local media, and social media sources.
Once again, thank you for entrusting the district with your tax dollars and passing this much needed bond.
