A school on Sprecher Road? What we know

Madison’s school district owns about 21 acres on Sprecher Road, and its draft attendance maps come in two versions: one with a new elementary school there, and one without. Nothing is decided.
Why now. The district is redrawing elementary attendance areas in a review it calls Building for the Future. The Cap Times and WMTV report Kennedy Elementary at about 130% of its capacity (Cap Times, May 14, opens in a new tab; WMTV, October 8, opens in a new tab).
Who decides, and when. The district expects a final recommendation in February 2027, followed by a School Board vote. It says no funding decisions have been made. The Cap Times reported a district official saying a new school would take a referendum.
What we don’t know yet. Where on Sprecher Road the land is (the district’s page doesn’t say), what a school would cost, and when it could open. We’ll add the next public input dates when the district posts them.
