Success Stories
Superintendent Randy Lords shared a letter from the Assistant Director of the Idaho High School
Activities Association naming Madison High School the recipient of the 2026 State 6A Girls
Basketball Sportsmanship Award. This award recognizes the positive behavior of coaches,
athletes, and spectators throughout the tournament.
Eight Madison students were selected for the Idaho All-State Orchestra and All-State Band.
Madison Presents featured BYU’s Vocal Point and Noteworthy and showcased the Madison
High School Fine Arts students. Mr. Pyper was also a guest artist during the performance. The
evening highlighted the talents of many Madison students and the dedication of the Fine Arts
staff.
Budget Holdbacks/State Funding
The Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee (JFAC) has been discussing a 2%-5% holdback for
state agencies. When there’s no increase to a budget it becomes a holdback. No new money
given to public schools is actually a cut considering inflation and rising costs. In looking ahead,
the district leadership team is considering ways to function despite the holdbacks. These ideas
include natural attrition, altering class schedules, and increasing class sizes in secondary schools.
Financial Update
Superintendent Lords reported that he is cautiously optimistic because of the careful planning of
the school board and district business manager.
3
Supplemental Levy
The current Supplemental Levy, renewable every two years, has been $1.995M for nearly a
decade. The funds have been used for salaries and benefits as well as safety and technology
including cameras, protective films over windows, and doorbell cameras at school entrances.
This year, 800-900 Chromebooks and iPads need to be replaced throughout the district. Other
needs include curriculum, buses and transportation. Mr. Lords recommends renewing the
supplemental levy for $1.995M.
Board members expressed a desire for additional information from Mr. Snedaker and time to
consider district needs.
Mr. Weber made a motion to table the Supplemental Levy discussion until the Board Visitation
Meeting on March 5, 2026. The motion was seconded by Ms. Allen and passed unanimously.
ISBA Day on the Hill Debrief
Mr. Weber, as the Idaho School Board Association representative, reported that in the past 24
hours six new pieces of legislation have come through dealing with public education. ISBA
supports Senate Bill 1288 which would allow schools to petition for funds to care for students
with high needs. Senate Bill 1339 would change the district Continuous Improvement Plan to a
Strategic Plan. Under this bill, a four-year strategic plan with additional information would be
required but could possibly open the door to state interference.
House Bill 710 sought to mandate a post Labor Day start day for all schools in the state. The
committee voted to hold the bill—effectively killing it for the session.
Board members expressed gratitude for our local legislators and their support for public
education.
City Council Update
City Councilman Eric Erickson reported on growth in the community.
Burton Elementary Polished Concrete Bid
Cracks in the concrete foundation have caused cracks in the tile resulting in tripping hazards and
damage to floor equipment. Mr. Lords recommended that the tile be removed and the school go
to a polished concrete surface. With greater visibility cracks could be addressed more quickly.
The funds for this project would be covered by interest.
Ms. Allen made a motion to accept the $52,000 bid for the polished concrete floors at Burton
Elementary. Mr. Weber seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
4
Madison Junior High Polished Concrete Bid
Bids were received for work on the floors at Madison Junior high. The first bid of $21,000 would
be to polish only. The bid of $59,707 would cover repairing and polishing the floors. These
funds would come from the existing bond.
Mr. Egbert made a motion to accept the bid of $59,707 to repair and polish the floors at Madison
Junior High. Ms. Allen seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
Executive Session
At 6:15 pm, pursuant to Idaho Code 74-206(b), Mr. Weber moved that the Board go into
Executive Session, seconded by Mr. Egbert, for the purpose of: to consider the evaluation,
dismissal or disciplining of, or to hear complaints or charges brought against, a public officer,
employee, staff member or individual agent, or public-school student. The Board will be
individually polled for their vote on the motion.
Mr. Pyper – Y
Ms. Allen – Y
Mr. Egbert – Y
Mr. Weber – Y
Mr. Palmer – Excused
At 6:25 pm, Ms. Allen moved that the Board adjourn Executive Session. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Egbert and passed unanimously.
