What Madison County School District does

Madison County School District is a public K-12 school district governed by the District School Board of Madison County, Florida, operating under Florida state law with five elected School Board Members. The district serves a Pre-K through 12 enrollment of over 2,200 students across Madison County High School (grades 9-12), Madison County Central School (Pre-K to 8), Madison County Bridge Alternative Education Center (grades 6-12), two public charter schools, Florida Virtual School, and homeschool registration. Its core services span core academic instruction, Exceptional Student Education (ESE), Career & Technical Education (CTE) with industry certifications in Agritechnology, Allied Health, Applied Robotics, Criminal Justice Operations, Culinary Arts, Industrial Biotechnology, Power and Energy, Web Development, Engineering Pathways, and Digital Design, English Language Learner programs, McKinney-Vento homeless services, migrant education, mental health services, athletics, and adult education/GED preparation.

The district's technology stack is built entirely on commodity, off-the-shelf platforms with no proprietary systems: Microsoft Office 365 (Outlook, OneDrive with 1TB storage, Teams, SharePoint, Forms, Planner), Classlink single sign-on, and Skyward as the student information and financial management system. An Apptegy-powered website, mobile app launching in 2026, Facebook, YouTube, and email round out the communications layer. Leadership is led by Superintendent Dr. Karen Pickles (PhD), with a Director of Finance & HR (Walter Copeland), District Coordinator of Curriculum Instruction and CTE (Dr. Loietta Holmes), Director of Exceptional Education, Mental Health and Student Services (Tamika Hughes-Leeks, formerly of Pinellas County Schools), and Coordinator of Federal Programs (Lisa Roderick).

Revenue is derived from a multi-stream public funding model: Florida per-pupil allocations, federal grants (IDEA B, IDEA PreK, Title I Part A, Title I Part C Migrant, Title II Part A, Title IV, Title V, Title IX Part C, Perkins), and local property taxes collected under Florida's Truth in Millage (TRIM) framework for capital outlay and operations. Education is provided free to district residents; no tuition is charged. Notable ongoing activities include the 2026 auction of Lee Elementary and Pinetta Elementary Schools on GovDeals.com and a broader consolidation initiative, alongside the appointment of Peggy Hasty as new Madison County High School principal effective July 2026.
