Success Stories
Madison High School orchestra students and staff recently traveled to Orlando, Florida. The
group impressed the judges, earning a Superior rating and gold medal at the music festival.
Severe weather resulted in cancelled flights and delays in getting groups home. Madison groups
worked to make the best of the situation. Students provided an impromptu concert in one of the
hotel lobbies. All groups arrived safely home by Thursday. Superintendent Lords expressed his
appreciation to Luke Sutton and Cory Carter for each providing a meal and Madison Memorial
for providing a meal and activity for those stranded.
Madison High School Marching Band performed and represented the district and community
well during their California trip. Students enjoyed a recording session at the Disneyland studio. It
was a highlight to hear the school song played as they marched down Main Street USA at
Disneyland Park.
South Fork Elementary recently hosted a STEM day. Students shared the processes they worked
through and the knowledge they gained as they completed their projects. The MHS Robotics
group joined in the day with presentations in the gym. Attendees were impressed with the efforts
of all those who participated.

Student Council Presentation
Madison High School Student Council presented to the board on their trips to California and
Moscow. They attended workshops and activities focused on team building, bonding as a council
and working toward a common goal. One of the favorite workshops was immersive storytelling
where participants learned about stories, symbols, and using words to covey multiple thoughts.
Student Council members sought permission to attend the leadership conference at Utah State
University June 1-3, 2026. At a cost of $250/person, this conference would include incoming
student council officers. Mr. Palmer moved to approve the Student Council Leadership
Conference at Utah State University. The motion was seconded by Mr. Weber and passed
unanimously.
Madison High School Chiller Bids
Superintendent Lords reported that the HVAC system at MHS has been running on one motor.
As it is fifteen years old, it was recommended that the chiller be replaced. A lot of current district
equipment is manufactured by Trane. Mark Hopkins, district HVAC specialist, will be involved
in the installation to save money. House Bill 521 dollars will be used for the project. Mr. Weber
moved to approve the $235,800 bid from Trane for the chiller replacement. Mr. Egbert seconded
the motion which passed unanimously.
Policy 5360 Review
One discussion point raised by teachers throughout the year is blue jeans. The current dress code
policy allows blue jeans one Friday per month on Madison Education Foundation Jeans Day.
The board will decide if a review of the current policy is needed.
Legislative Update
Mr. Weber, as the Idaho School Board Association representative, reported that we are down to
the last 1-2 weeks of the legislative session. House Bill 623, which has passed the House and
Senate, would require a moment of silence in schools each day.
House Bill 831 would mandate that schools be closed on election days. Madison School District
already schedules virtual days around voting days.
House Bill 352
As an information only item, Mr. Lords presented information to the board regarding compliance
to house Bill 352. He recommended the board review the info and update the current Madison
School District Policy 3285.

Levy Info
Mass communication, to twenty or more voters, in any form must include the average annual
cost to taxpayers. The estimated average annual cost to the taxpayer on the proposed levy is a tax
of $52.97 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value per year based on current conditions. The
supplemental levy seeks $1.995 million per year for two years for salaries and benefits,
safety/technology, curriculum, and buses/transportation.
Board Work Session
A Board Work Session was scheduled for April 2, 2026 at 7:00 am at South Fork Elementary.
The Board Visitation Meeting will follow at 9:00 am.
Additionally, the April 9 Board Business Meeting will be held at Madison Junior High following
a Madison School District Town Hall meeting. The Town Hall meeting will begin at 6:00 pm
with the Board Business Meeting at 7:00 pm.
Executive Session
At 6:18 pm, pursuant to Idaho Code 74-206 (1)(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
