Madera Unified begins new school year with new campus and updated logo

MADERA, Calif. (KFSN) -- Class is back in session for thousands of students in the Madera Unified School District.

The district is excited to welcome back over 20,000 students, with a new campus and fresh logo.

It's also the first academic year for the brand-new King Husein School.

The new school, which will serve transitional kindergarten through eighth-grade students, sits on 50 acres of land donated by King Husein, the owner of SPAN Construction and a longtime Madera resident.

District officials want to remind families to adhere to campus traffic procedures, use designated drop-off areas and follow directions from staff.

Students will receive free breakfast and lunch through the school year, regardless of family income.
