Maia Pearson

Maia is seeking re-election to the Madison Board of Education after a successful first term focusing on student excellence, teacher success, and community collaborations. She championed the expansion of full-day 4-year-old kindergarten, supported teachers with increased wages and professional development opportunities, and fostered community partnerships to enhance students' social-emotional well-being. In her next term, Maia aims to promote equity in education for all students and staff, oversee the transition to a new superintendent, develop a budget aligned with the board's values and sustainability goals, and enhance the community's trust in Madison schools by improving educational outcomes. Her passion for advocating for inclusive education stems from her family's multi-generational experiences in the Madison school system, driving her commitment to breaking down barriers, ensuring access, and uplifting marginalized communities. With a vision of every school preparing students to graduate as informed, well-rounded individuals, Maia remains dedicated to realizing the district's mission.
