2019 Fairport Forward Capital Project: Phase I

About The Project

We know that in order to provide our students and community with the best possible opportunities for success, we must first meet student needs in a rapidly changing world. To better understand these needs, the Fairport Central School District engaged the community and analyzed current facilities through a series of research initiatives. This included an analysis of more than 3,000 respondents from a community-wide survey by the District Advisory Council (DAC), a Space Utilization Study conducted by the District’s architect and a state-mandated building condition survey. As a result, the District developed a facilities plan aligned with its Long-Term Strategic Initiatives. This comprehensive, multi-phased capital project plan will focus on three main areas: Educational Programming, Fiscal Sustainability and Facilities Planning. Our community has high expectations for its schools, and these upgrades will create healthy, safe and engaging environments that will leave a lasting impact for decades to come. We firmly believe in the potential of Fairport Central Schools and we can’t wait to take the next step toward our future.
