Madison District Public Schools is a school district serving the south end of Madison Heights, Michigan.
As of the beginning of 2009 the school district was dealing with an ongoing budget deficit. Over 60% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunches.
The district has a policy to allow students to be promoted to the next grade level no matter how poorly the student's report card grades were as long as the parents wrote a letter to the district asking to advance their child to the next grade. In 2008, 16 children's parents asked for such a 'no-flunking' promotion, but were declined.[1] The district has been faced with declining enrollment from the in-district children and that has led to major deficits.[2]
