Students return to classes as new school year begins for Madison City Schools

Madison City Schools welcomed back students for the 2023-2024 school year. Buses rolled, drivers jockeyed for parking spaces and car lines crawled through dropoff zones, depositing students for a new year of learning.

The day also saw a new school in Madison welcome students for the first time. Journey Middle School opened its doors as the third middle school in the city.

There were a few of the typical glitches with things like class schedules and lunch accounts but otherwise a good day.
