Dear MPLSD Parents, Guardians, and Community Members,

As elected members of this community, it is our responsibility to ensure all children of MPLSD receive the best possible education, while being good stewards of taxpayer dollars.  We are facing an important moment in the history of our District and are looking for as much community input as possible.

Since 2020 we have held numerous public meetings in an effort to engage our community and discuss the current state of our facilities.  The Board is currently considering using District funds for the purpose of constructing new facilities.  

The Madison-Plains Powerlifting Tradition Teams traveled to Kenton this past Saturday, March 15th, for the Bill McClain Ohio High School State Powerlifting Meet. Let's open up by saying thanks for the support from coaches, teachers, parents, school board, administrators, and the community of Madison-Plains Local School District. The Madison-Plains Powerlifting Tradition Teams have been around since 2011.   The program consists of our school athletes that train in the weight room year round which is the foundation of winning in life and winning championships.    Our lifters consist of football, wrestling, basketball, both girls and guys, volleyball, baseball, softball, track, cheerleaders, and just the lifter that is a powerlifter.

As you may be aware, this week, March 16 – 22, 2025, is Ohio’s Spring Severe Weather Awareness Week, and each year during this week, the Ohio Emergency Management Agency and National Weather Service conduct a statewide tornado drill on Wednesday morning at 9:50 a.m., and schools are encouraged to participate in this drill.  Please know that MPLSD did participate in this state-wide drill this morning in our respective school buildings so that our staff and students could rehearse what to do in case of a tornado.

Dear Eagle Nation,

Good morning!  The purpose of this communication is to let you know that we have received our water test results back for the junior high and high school, and the water has passed the test.  As such, the two buildings are now off the boil notice and can resume normal operation.  

Thank you for your continued understanding and support.  

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Go Eagles!

Mr. Eisler, Superintendent
Madison-Plains Local School District

DRINKING WATER WARNING

Disease-causing organisms may have entered MADISON PLAINS 7-12 water supply

BOIL YOUR WATER BEFORE USING OR USE BOTTLED WATER

Due to a power outage causing loss of pressurization. Organisms that cause illness in people may have entered the water supply. People in Madison Plains 7-12 buildings should take the following precautions:

• DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for at least one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.

Dear MPLSD Parents, Guardians, and Staff,

The purpose of this communication is to provide an update on the power outage at the 7-12 building, and I have good news to share.

Both the Junior High and High School are back up and running on regular power.  It appears the cause of the problem was that a bird had found its way to a place on the pole that was not good.  

All of our systems are back up and running, but because we lost power, we will have to go on a boil notice at the 7-12 building until we are able to get water test results back, which will be later in the week.  We are working to get more hand sanitizer and bottled water for students and staff.
