WKOW TV on Madison Schools Overcrowding

WKOW-TV:

In May, voters rejected referendums for more operating money and a new "Leopold" school. That failed budget meant significant staffing cuts. But in the case of the new school, the district admits, they had no back-up plan. Now, the board is working to address student issues, as Madison continues to grow.

"Both parents and staff are going to find things a lot more difficult... We cut custodians, we cut teaching positions, we cut services, we cut people downtown," says school board president Carol Carstensen.

A long range planning committee has been asked to seriously evaluate boundary changes in the district.
