Madison Area Schools Week Ahead

Madison, WI - Meetings for the MMSD that is mostly Madison, but the school district boundaries are different than city boundaries.  8 meetings!  Interviewing superintendent candidates, purchasing property, employee discipline matters, personalized pathways report, school naming and more.

No one running for some seats on School Board and County Board

41 seats up for elections, 2 are contested and 9 have no one filing anything.  2 people officially on the ballot so far.  Papers due January 7th - 29 more days.  Media silence, so who even knows they should be thinking about running?

What should the Madison Education Committee work on?

Officially, this is the City of Madison Committee, but it has Alders, Dane County Board Supervisors and School Board members along with Mayor and School Superintendent reps.  It could be an impactful group!  They voted to change the name to City, County, Schools Collaborative Committee (CCSCC).  They were almost convinced to disband, but were re-energized with new members after the elections last spring and are discussing what they should be working on.
