During the 2005-06 school year 116 members of the Madison Metropolitan School District staff opted (as of early May) for retirement. Some individuals were unable to attend the photo sessions, but their names are included in the list of retirees. (A few people chose not to have their names listed.)

A reception for all staff who are retiring this year was held at Olbrich Botanical Gardens on May 24. At this gathering, these individuals were recognized for their service to the district, which totals 2,802 years.
