MADISON — In a sign that we might be rounding the corner on the COVID-19 pandemic, the Madison School Board voted unanimously to allow students and staff to go mask-free at Madison Elementary School for the remainder of this school year at its meeting on Monday night.

For most districts, the school year ends next Tuesday.
