Press Release from Madison Public Schools

The Ad-Hoc New Elementary School Naming Committee is asking community members to send in possible names for the new school building. The committee will review the suggestions and recommend three to five names to the Board of Education for its consideration.

Suggestions should have a connection to Madison. Potential names can reflect characteristics of the town or schools or reflect the name of an individual. Any suggestions that reflect the name of an individual must have served in the continuous employ of the Madison Board of Education for an extended period, usually in excess of 10 years, with the name being submitted after the individual’s separation from compensated service for a minimum period of one year, or be a nonemployee of the Madison Board of Education who has made an exceptional contribution to the children of Madison for an extended period or after a historically significant figure. Particular attention shall be given to local candidates with a record of outstanding achievement and public service, as evidenced by at least 10 letters of recommendation.

Community members have until Friday, Nov. 10, to send in suggested names. Suggestions can be emailed to newschoolname@madisonps.org or mailed to Zoe Roos, 10 Campus Drive, Madison, CT 06443
