Transportation

Due to its small geographic size, Madison District does provide busing for general education students when they travel to and from school. Madison District also provides busing for athletic trips, field trips, and special education transportation. The district contracts its busing services to Clawson Public Schools. The Madison District did so in order to save money. Paul Rogers, the superintendent of the Madison District, stated in 2008 that there were annual savings of $165,000 for contracting with Clawson. Before Madison District contracted to Clawson, it had a staff of five full-time bus drivers.
