During a called meeting on Thursday, Jan. 16, Fairfield ISD’s Board of Trustees voted unanimously to call a $105,395,000 bond election for the May 3 ballot.
The district’s Bond Facility Advisory Committee, representing a cross-section of the community, played a key role in this decision. Parents, teachers, staff, students and community members shared their unique perspectives as the committee identified needs and developed a recommendation for the board.
Committee members reviewed the district’s current facilities, studied demographic data, learned about school finance and Fairfield ISD’s tax rate over the years, and discussed academic priorities and long-range plans with district administration. After careful consideration, the committee reached consensus on a prioritized list of needs to recommend to the board.
