MADISON, Ala. (WHNT) — Madison City Schools is asking for community feedback on rezoning options for the school district.
The school system shared a survey this week that will allow parents and other community members to provide feedback on three potential options for changes to school attendance zones.
Superintendent Ed Nichols said in a video message attached to the survey that the rezoning is needed due to the district’s plan to open Russell Branch Elementary School in the fall of 2026.
The survey shows three options for rezoning, each one has adjusts the attendance zones for the schools in a different way. The changes affect elementary schools the most, but also have changes to the attendance zones for Madison’s middle and high schools.
Nichols said the priority for each of the plans is to keep a balance between the schools.
“In Madison, when we have traditionally had to rezone, which has been a lot, we have always maintained equalization among our schools,” he said.
Nichols stressed that none of the options presented in the survey are final and that part of the survey is getting feedback on how each one can be adjusted.
The superintendent also said he understands it can be hard on families to deal with the possibility of moving schools.
“It’s never easy to change locations, but the good news is wherever you go in our community, you are going to get one of the top-performing schools in the state,” he said.
According to the school system’s plan for the rezoning, the survey will be open until June 20.
