Breaking: Madison Schools superintendent to resign this summer

Apr. 29—The leader of Madison Schools has announced she is resigning.

Lisa Tuttle-Huff told the Journal-News today she has decided to leave the Madison superintendent's position effective July 31.

"Ending this chapter at Madison is not an easy decision. I have poured my heart into serving this district for the past three years," said Tuttle-Huff, who in 2019 was given a five-year contract by the district's school board through 2024.

"I am extremely proud of what we have achieved and what we are working to achieve in the future. I will forever be grateful and a supportive champion of Madison, however, I have chosen to pursue another avenue at this time," she said.

The rural Madison school system is one of the smaller districts in the area with an enrollment of about 1,500 students.

"I am overwhelmed with pride in what this administration has accomplished for the youth of Madison Schools over the last three years. By every single measure of our work, the youth have a significantly better understanding that being ready for the workforce and college is paramount. I congratulate all who work at Madison for putting students first in everything that they do."

"I appreciate the board, staff, and students whom I have worked with and know that the next superintendent will continue to pursue excellence in the district," said Tuttle-Huff.

The Journal-News will report more as information becomes available.
