Track & Field parents - this is just a heads up that the Track & Field meet at Baltic today (5-16) is running about 45 minutes ahead of schedule and they will not be taking the break that was listed on the schedule - they will be using a rolling schedule all day. Please adjust your arrival time as necessary.

UPDATE: After law enforcement investigated this incident statewide, it was found that this same computerized voice message was sent to schools in Utah as well as schools in other states and has been circulating to other schools across the country for months.
Please know at Madison Central we will always error on the side of caution, even though we were confident this message was not valid, we will always error on the side of caution until we can confirm there is no direct threat to our school.
At this point in time, we are now proceeding with a normal school day. I want to thank law enforcement for their help in investigating this situation.
I want all parents to know that the safety of our students and staff will always be our top priority at Madison Central!

Supt. Madison Central
Good morning,
I need to share information that we received this morning. We received a computerized voice mail concerning a judge and two individuals in the Utah area. The message goes on to state that a school could be a target.
As soon as we received this message law enforcement was contacted and it was investigated right away. The judge and two people named in this message are in Utah.
As we investigate this further, we are now aware of at least one other school in South Dakota located about 300 miles from Madison receiving the same computer voice generated call. Even though this looks to be a situation generated from the Utah area, we will proceed with caution as it is investigated further by law enforcement. And as a precaution, we will have additional police officers located in our schools until further notice while this is investigated statewide.
We will follow up with any new information as this is investigated further.
