FCSD administrators and staff are excited to share more information with our Fairport neighbors and friends about the proposed Fairport Forward 2022 Capital Improvement Project. In mid-October, the Board of Education approved a Proposition Resolution calling for a Special Vote on December 13, 2022!

Here’s what you need to know about Fairport Forward 2022:

      • The next stage in the District’s phased plan to:
        • Stage FHS for the merger of our ninth-grade students
        • Consolidate District buildings 
        • Protect your investment in our facilities by updating infrastructure
      • The anticipated impact to voters is an additional $59 a year for homes valued at $200k
        • It is projected that taxpayers would see this impact begin in the 2025-26 fiscal year
      • Project highlights include:
        • Multi-purpose STEAM learning spaces at FHS 
        • Reimagined and renovated FHS music, art rooms and library
        • A range of HVAC, mechanical, bathroom and infrastructural upgrades at elementary and middle schools

Polls will be open to all eligible voters from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on December 13, 2022 at Johanna Perrin Middle School at 85 Potter Place.

As the District spreads the word about the Fairport Forward 2022 proposal, we encourage our Fairport families and the wider community to check out the Capital Projects website. There is an updated Frequently Asked Questions page, along with new renderings of what renovated spaces could look like if voters approve the proposal. 

The District continues to collect feedback from the community through public meetings and a community survey that can be accessed here. We are using that feedback to shape our communications and to answer questions that our parents, students, neighbors and Fairport taxpayers have about the project.

There are two more public informational meetings scheduled, with the possibility of adding more. Both sessions will be held at Fairport High School in Room 512, which is accessible through Door 45 at FHS:

  • Wednesday, 11/9 – 6:30 p.m. 
  • Tuesday, 11/29 – 6:30 p.m.

These sessions will also be streamed live on our FCSD Youtube page here. Videos of our past informational meetings are also available on our Youtube page.
