MADISON, Ala. (WHNT) — Madison City Schools is hosting a public hearing on Monday regarding its new zoning proposal, aimed at addressing growth in the area.

Superintendent Dr. Ed Nichols said the growth across the city, from the west near Limestone County to Triana, coupled with the opening of a new elementary school for the 2026-2027 school year, highlighted the need to rezone the school district.
