Success Stories
The Madison football team is currently 6-1 and has been named academic state champions.
We’re proud of their efforts on and off the field.

Madison High School Student Council has been working with the Chamber of Commerce to
connect with local veterans. The Veteran’s Day Program will be presented by the Student Body
Officers and Fine Arts Department on November 11 at 10:00am.

Mr. Weber reported positive feedback from parents attending parent teacher conferences.

Student Trip Request
Board approval (Policy 2550) is required for any field trips out of state. One trip was presented
to the board for approval.

Art Department – Tokyo, Japan, June 2027. Mr. Palmer moved to approve the Art Department
trip. Ms. Allen seconded the motion which passed unanimously. Mr. Lauritsen was encouraged
to have students participate in the car raffle to help offset trip costs for students and families.

5-10 Year District Plan
District administration and board members have been discussing moving ninth graders to the
high school. The current junior high will become a middle school with grades 6-8. Fifth grade
students will be moved back to the elementaries, and school boundaries will be realigned.

Rebranding
Options were reviewed for a new logo that would capture the board/district vision and mission
on kindness, literacy and preparing for the future. Board members asked for a design adjustment.
Mr. Weber moved that the discussion be tabled until next month. Mr. Palmer seconded the
motion which passed unanimously.

District Strategic Plan
State code requires the district team of administration, board of trustees, teachers and community
members to develop a strategic plan. Madison School District’s plan includes the guiding pillars
of Literacy and Academic Excellence, Culture of Kindness and Mutual Respect, Community-
Family Bridge, Lifelong Success and Responsible Citizenship. Board members are invited to the
Strategic Planning meeting in Pocatello on December 3–4 to integrate the district's strategic plan
into the state framework.

Scholarship Granting Organization
Scholarship Granting Organizations provide a way for taxpayers to donate cash toward student
scholarships for tax credit. Having our own organization, Madison Education Foundation, allows
funds to go directly to our students, our teachers, our district.

November Bonus
Board trustees have approved a Christmas bonus for district employees for the past 25 years. Mr.
Snedaker presented several options for the board’s consideration to be paid out in November. As
it was an amended item to the agenda, no action was taken at this time.

Moment of Silence
Ms. Allen asked for a follow-up regarding the Moment of Silence. Mr. Lords reported that there
has been more positive than negative feedback and that district teachers have done a great job
implementing this new daily requirement.

Executive Session
No Executive Session was held.

ADJOURNMENT
Mr. Weber moved that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was seconded by Mr. Palmer and
the meeting was adjourned at 7:38 pm.
