News and information for staff members and the Madison community
Vol. I No. 4 - February 17, 2006
5 p.m. Special Board Meeting
Members of the Memorial/West Task Force
spoke with the Board about their recommendations and how they arrived at
them. They emphasized that they did not reach their recommendation (to
build a new school and add on to Leopold) easily or quickly. It was only
exhausting all other approaches that they came to agreement that the only
truly long range solution involved building.
The Board then discussed the Memorial/West Task Force recommendation to build a new school on the far west side and to build an addition onto Leopold (known as the build-build approach). The Board decided not to put the issue on the April ballot but to provide more time for discussion and to look at the options if the community doesn't support the build recommendation. The Board directed the administration to come back with information about the possibility of finding land in Fitchburg to build on and also to show how an addition to Leopold is necessary and would improve the current building.
