The Fairport Central School District’s Board of Education will appoint Dr. Brian Moritz as a new board member at its October 4, 2021 Board of Education Workshop, with his term beginning immediately. Dr. Moritz replaces Mr. Tim Slisz who resigned from his Board of Education seat in July 2021.

When a Board member resigns before the end of the three-year term, the Board may appoint an interim successor who will serve until the next school district election the following May.
