2025 Schools Make Madison Summit

Join us at Thermo Fisher Scientific on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, for the 3rd Annual Schools Make Madison Summit, a powerful gathering focused on improving student attendance and literacy.

Together, we’ll explore how these critical areas shape a student’s sense of belonging and academic success. Hear from MMSD leaders, engage with community partners, and discover ways we can move forward together to create lasting change for our students.

Let’s build a stronger Madison, one student at a time.

Now retired, Bill reflects on the impact of dedicated educators and remains proud of his Madison roots.
