Board members will vote to approve the draft minutes from April 23, 2024.

Mike Hanson has served on the One City Board since February 2022, and has submitted his notice of resignation. His resignation from the One City board coincides with his retirement from the Madison Police Department, where he has served for over 20 years. Most recently, Mike has served as the Captain of the South District where he worked with the community on problem solving issues and on community relations. Mike holds a degree in public relations and a master’s degree in human resource management.  Born and raised in Madison, Mike found a career that allowed him to help others and make a difference in our community.  As an adjunct instructor for Northwestern University, Mike has always been committed to education and life-long learning.  Mike created a fundraising mechanism throughout the community to hire tutors to increase reading scores with our youth who are behind.  This program has grown in the three years of development to reach out to more youth in need.  Additionally as a Captain, Lieutenant and neighborhood officer Mike has been involved in leading numerous community events.  

We are very grateful for the time and support that Mike has provided to One City Schools. His voice was critical during the challenges our school has faced during the past two years and he has demonstrated time and again his belief in the mission and vision of One City Schools, and has cheered our successes. 

We wish Mike a very happy retirement!
