Success Stories
As part of their community outreach, Delta Dental provides free dental services at elementaries
throughout the state. At Kennedy Elementary, they provided sealants, fluoride varnishes, and
oral hygiene education valued at just over $15,000. We appreciate their service to the students in
our district.
Central High School completed their summer school block. Fourteen students attended the
summer session with 77 credits attempted and 74 credits earned. Three Central High School
students and five Madison High School students completed graduation requirements.
This month summer school teachers and staff have also been working hard to create fun,
engaging environments for preschool-6th grade students. Parents, students, and administrators are
pleased with the success and hope to incorporate the excitement and fun of summer school into
the regular school year.
Administrator Salary Schedule
The state funds approximately $70,000 per administrator. In the past, increases of 2.0-3.5%
occurred every other year. Mr. Snedaker proposed keeping the starting salary for administrators
the same with a 1.5% increase per year. The five floating days previously on the contract will be
removed. Stipends, a percentage of their base salary, are paid for night-time activities.
Classified Salary Schedule
Classified wages will be similar to last year. Raises will range from 25¢/hour to 5.5%. Though
Madison School District hires roughly 40 staff over the number funded by the state, directors of
each department run on lean numbers. The supplemental levy helps off-set the cost of classified
staff salaries.
One-Time Longevity Stipend
Longevity bonuses were approved for certificated staff at the May board meeting. Mr. Snedaker
proposed similar longevity bonuses for administrative and classified staff to be paid out in
November.
Mr. Weber moved to approve the Administrator Salary Schedule, Classified Salary Schedule,
and One-Time Longevity Stipend. Mr. Palmer seconded the motion which passed unanimously.

Amended Budget for Fiscal Year 2026
Changes happen between the time the budget is set and the end of the fiscal year. Title I,
Medicaid, and Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) revenues were all down the
past year. Capital expenditures increased with the building of the new grounds/maintenance
building. Mr. Snedaker updated the budget to reflect these changes.
Mr. Weber moved to approve the Amended Budget for Fiscal Year 2026. The motion was
seconded by Ms. Allen and passed unanimously.
Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2027
For historical context, Mr. Snedaker shared budgets from 2024-2026 along with figures for 2027.
Because the state will be funding fewer positions, the district is looking to reduce teaching
positions through attrition. Salary and benefits costs will be reduced while services and supplies
are projected to increase. The General Fund has about 12% in reserve.
Mr. Weber moved to approve the Amended Budget for Fiscal Year 2026. The motion was
seconded by Ms. Allen and passed unanimously.
Dishwasher Purchase
Bids were presented from BS&R to replace the failing 20-year-old dishwasher at Kennedy
Elementary. Considering local service technicians and the availability of parts, it’s recommended
that the district go with the CMA appliance. Modernization funds will be used for the purchase.
Mr. Palmer moved that the board accept the $65,365.24 bid from BS&R for the CMA
dishwasher. The motion was seconded by Ms. Allen and passed unanimously.
Early Graduation Policy 2705
There were no questions or requests for clarification during the second reading. The third reading
will take place at the July board business meeting.
Summer School Policy
Administration will solidify Summer School procedures. It was determined that no new policy is
necessary.
Update on America 250 Celebration
Stakes are out marking the overflow parking for the America 250 Celebration. Gates will open at
6:30 pm with the concert starting at 8:00 pm. Full concessions will be in the picnic area.
4
Spectators will sit in the bleachers or stand on the turf. The concert will be followed by a drone
show and fireworks.
Executive Session
No executive session was held.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 8:26 pm.
