A NEW FUTURE FOR
FAIRFIELD MIDDLE SCHOOL
BOND REFERENDUM | TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2024
CONCEPTUAL PLAN
If the $38.51 million bond referendum is approved by at least 60% of voters on Tuesday, November 5, the Fairfield Community School District will use these funds to construct a new middle school for students in grades 4-8.
​
We believe that building a new middle school is the best course of action, as it will:
​
-
Allow Fairfield CSD to strengthen its facilities for future generations of students in grades 4-8.
-
Provide more resources and programming options for students.
-
Expand our preschool program at Washington Elementary.
-
Make the district more appealing to new families and potential residents.
-
Allow the district to accommodate growing enrollment and operate at a positive rate for open enrollment.
-
Help retain current staff and attract new hires.
-
Enhance the community as a whole and help create a vibrant economic boost.
The total project budget for the new middle school is $56 million, with $21 million funded by SAVE — a statewide sales tax that does not increase local property taxes. Leveraging SAVE revenue that FCSD receives will lessen the burden for property taxpayers.
​
Our goal is to keep the middle school project cost below $56 million. Using SAVE funds as a financial buffer will help manage unforeseen expenses.
