Madison Metropolitan School District

2024 Facilities Referendum

As the oldest district in Dane County, MMSD has many aging facilities. Twenty-six of our schools were built 60 plus years ago. Some of those buildings were not built to last this long, and we are seeing that now with some of the critical needs we have to address.

The 2024 facilities referendum, if approved, will renovate 10 schools across seven sites. Construction would last five years, over three phases, beginning in 2026.

The facilities referendum is about equipping our students with the tools and spaces they need to thrive. This includes things like:

  • Modernizing essential infrastructure
  • Air conditioning
  • Heating improvements
  • Sustainable learning environments
  • Accessibility
  • Creating inspiring learning spaces that foster creativity and innovation
