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. 3 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.
