Madison School Board eyes April referendum
1 of 2
The Madison School Board is considering asking voters for $24 million in borrowing to upgrade school facilities and expand crowded schools. The proposal, which has been scaled back since a March proposal of $39.5 million, will likely come to voters during April's election, instead of November as first considered. One of the ideas included in the plan is building a new gymnasium and additional classroom space at Sandburg Elementary School, which has been considered crowded for years. Sandburg is located at 4114 Donald Drive on Madison's Far East Side.Â
