Another Madison independent charter school Proposal…
During an initial conversation, some Madison School Board members said they wanted to avoid creating competition with the district’s technical education and youth apprenticeship opportunities.
McKenzie told the Wisconsin State Journal via email he is still pursuing a charter agreement with the UW Office of Educational Opportunity. The final application to UW is due on Jan. 13.
Organizers are aiming for the school to open in fall 2026 with a cohort of 150 ninth-grade students. Enrollment would ideally grow to 600 students over the next three school years. The proposed charter school has not yet secured a location. If granted a charter agreement, it plans to use a facility already within the district.
