Mayor Bartlett emphasizes continued investment in Madison's public education, with a new elementary school opening soon.
Madison's new mayor, Ranae Bartlett, began her tenure with a strong focus on education and community growth. Her first day in office was marked by enthusiasm following her swearing-in ceremony.
Bartlett emphasized the importance of public education, a key issue in her campaign.
"So many people move to Madison for the schools, and the investment that we make in public education pays huge dividends for our entire city," Bartlett said.
She assured that both the council and her administration are committed to continuing this investment.
The city is preparing for growth with a new elementary school set to open this fall.
"We're excited about that happening and of course continuing to prepare for the people who will want to come in and move here, so their kids can attend school here," Bartlett said.
With the half-cent sales tax expiring in 2027, Bartlett noted city leaders will closely evaluate its future.
"We anticipate that the school system will be coming to an upcoming work session to explain their needs," Bartlett said, highlighting the importance of informed decision-making regarding the tax initially implemented to build James Clemens High School.
Beyond education, Bartlett is also prioritizing improvements in roads, infrastructure, and commercial growth for Madison.
