about MMSD Launches "Voices of People. Purpose. Pride." Podcast, Focusing on District Budget in Premiere Episode
The multi-year initiative includes a comprehensive attendance area and boundary review, an enrollment strategy and an updated long-range facilities plan.
The distinction reflects the depth of academic talent across the district and the high standards students are meeting in schools throughout Madison.
Today’s students are tomorrow’s workforce, neighbors, civic leaders and innovators. How they learn in school shapes the future of the city itself.
The MMSD honorees are Eric Hartz, Ben Jaeger, Kristen Scott and Julie Rice, who were selected through a competitive process that draws nominations from across Wisconsin.
The podcast will feature discussions with district leaders, educators, students, families and local partners on topics that matter most to MMSD and the broader community.
