News Media Inquiries

Thank you for your interest in the Madison Metropolitan School District. Please use our department email, communications@madison.k12.wi.us, for all media inquiries. Our communications team assists members of the media in reporting on district priorities and items of public interest.

Our district goals for the coming year: 

1) Student achievement and well-being.

2) Creating a foundation to attract and hire a new superintendent.

3) Improving efficiency and effectiveness of operations and communications processes.

4) Hiring and retaining high quality teachers and staff.

Our schools welcome opportunities to share stories that support progress on these goals. 

We are committed to timely and accurate dissemination of information. If you are a member of the media on a tight deadline, please include "on deadline" in the subject line of your email so we can prioritize your inquiry. All inquiries will be responded to within one business day.

To be added to our media distribution list, please email your name, contact information and credentials to communications@madison.k12.wi.us.

Public records requests are handled by the district’s official Records Custodian, in accordance with Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Wisconsin Statutes (sec. 19.31). Public records requests should be made in writing to: publicrecords@madison.k12.wi.us. 

As a practice, our communications team does not provide information on private employee or student data or information. Such inquiries will be internally redirected to the Office of General Counsel.
