Dear Madison Local School District Families,
We are writing to inform you that FinalForms, the platform we use for registration and compliance, recently identified and responded to an incident involving unauthorized access to a small number of user accounts in our district and many others.
The issue was promptly investigated and contained. It’s important to emphasize that no student data remains at risk. The incident was carried out by a lone actor who gained access using legitimate login credentials previously compromised in unrelated, external breaches (such as PowerSchool, Chegg, Yahoo, etc.). These credentials were the same as those set by the account owner in FinalForms. The incident did not result from any vulnerability within the FinalForms platform.
FinalForms identified the source of the unauthorized access, isolated the lone actor using a controlled environment, established direct contact, and obtained a full confession. During a live, recorded session, the individual permanently deleted the accessed data under FinalForms' supervision. FinalForms continues to actively monitor all systems to ensure the ongoing security of student information. No action is required on your part at this time.
FinalForms and our district remain fully committed to protecting the privacy and security of student data in compliance with all federal and state requirements, including FERPA and the Student Data Privacy Agreement (SDPA).
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Board of Education office at 419-589-2600.
Thank you for your trust and continued support.
Sincerely,
Rob Peterson
Superintendent
Madison Local School District

100 Years of Madison Local Schools Carnival
Are you ready to celebrate 100 years of RAM Pride? To cap off the 100th Year of Madison Schools the district will be hosting a 100 Years Carnival on Saturday, May 17th from 12pm-3pm behind the Madison Middle School! The carnival will include games, inflatables, multiple food trucks, and other fun activities. We encourage you to join us as we celebrate 100 Years of Madison Schools!
Here is the video from last night's board meeting. There were technical difficulties for the first couple of minutes, but other than the roll call and the pledge of allegiance, no business was conducted prior to the executive session.

Dear Families,
We are always working to improve and simplify communication between you and our Madison Local School District.
Staying connected with your child's coursework and activities has a direct impact on their well-being, both at school and at home. Effective school communication is key to this, but it’s often not as simple or accessible as it could be.
That’s why we’re working to make it better. On April 11th, we’ll be adding a new feature called "Rooms" to our district app. Beginning next school year, Rooms will allow you to engage in two-way conversations with teachers, as well as stay updated on announcements relevant to you and your child. For the remainder of this school year, we will be using it to share building-wide information and updates. We will also have a few select teachers piloting it for use at each school building.
Our district app currently offers:
Live feed updates
District and school news
Upcoming events
Push notifications for important and urgent announcements
With Rooms, you’ll have access to even more exciting features like:
Two-way messaging with teachers, staff, and coaches
Classroom announcements, reminders about coursework, and materials
Behavior tracking for celebrating good behavior and academic achievement
Automatic translation
So, what does this mean for you? It means you won’t need another app or tool to stay connected with your child’s teachers, coaches, coursework, and activities. School and district information will all be available in one place—our Madison Local School District app. If you don’t have it yet, the app is free and can be found in both the Play Store and the App Store!
On April 11th, you'll receive an invite to Rooms via email or text. Once you get the invite, simply follow the link in your browser to create a login. After creating your login, you can access Rooms through the Madison Local School District app.
We hope this provides you with a richer, simpler, and ultimately easier communication experience.
Feel free to reach out to your child’s school office if you have any questions or concerns.
Best,
Madison Local School District
