The Madison Public School Foundation, through our 501(c)(4) organization, Schools Make Madison Advocates, is leading the “Strong Schools, Strong Community” campaign. We advocate for a “yes” vote on both MMSD referenda, believing that these initiatives are essential for enhancing our schools and ensuring our students have the resources they need to succeed. Transparent communication and active community engagement are vital as we move forward together.
