MMSD Community Engagement Session

media release: The Madison Metropolitan School District is pleased to invite district stakeholders and community members to participate in any of seven upcoming Budget and Facility Engagement Sessions.

Over the past 12 years, MMSD has grappled with inadequate state-provided resources. Now, as we embark on a journey to transform instruction and enhance school climate across our district, we are seeking the public’s insights to inform our decisions.

The feedback gleaned from these sessions will prove vital, as we work to address both the challenges facing our aging facilities and the long-standing issue of underfunding in K-12 education by the state of Wisconsin.

During these sessions, we will discuss:

• The current state of our facilities and the challenges they pose to teaching and learning
• Prioritizing resource allocation to meet instructional needs and improve student outcomes
• Strategies for revitalizing our learning environments to better support student success
