A recent article (Madison Prep at Front and Center of School Board Races) in the Wisconsin State Journal – regarding the upcoming spring elections for the Madison School Board – paraphrased a former School Board member who acknowledged that for the last 20 years "the achievement gap has been a critical issue for the district."
