MADRID, Iowa—Patrons of the Madrid School District petitioned the School Board to move ahead with a General Obligation Bond Issue fund several projects that will provide additions and renovations to the district’s facilities. The remodeling and additions will include class room additions, restrooms, and additional repairs at the Madrid Elementary School and additional improvements and classrooms at the Junior/Senior High Campus.
