new Madison elementary school — Limestone county school in the works for Madison City School system

On Wednesday, the Madison City School Board approved a $49 million construction bid to start building a new elementary school in Limestone county.

This new school will be the first of Madison City’s to be built in Limestone county. According to Madison City Schools Superintendent Dr. Ed Nichols, 27% of their students as a whole live in the Limestone County side of the district, surely a main concern when making the plans for the school.

This new addition is a timely project when looking at the growth Madison city has been experiencing recently, as well as their acclaimed school system across Alabama. Part of this growth is due to their increasing in new subdivisions, which in-turn is causing a lot of the city schools to become more and more crowded.
