Madison School District 321
The district is seeking an operational levy of nearly $2.51 million. It says it needs this levy to pass because the current, 10-year levy, approved in 2005, will be ending this year. It also cited recent growth – in the past decade, Madison School District has added an average of 100 students per year.
