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 $59 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.
