Thank you to all district residents and staff who offered feedback during our now 18-month - and counting - facilities planning process.  The process continues.

The Board-approved Facilities Master Plan includes the relocation of a new junior high building, the transfer of Fairfax students to Mariemont Elementary and composite construction (blending old and new) at Mariemont Elementary and Terrace Park Elementary.

At the Feb 11 Board of Education meeting, the Board of Education approved a combined Bond Issue/ Operating Levy on the May 4th ballot in order to finance the complete Facilities Master Plan and continued district operations.

Also at this meeting, Superintendent Paul Imhoff and Treasurer Natalie Lucas presented to the BOE $3 million in necessary budget reduction recommendations in the event that the May financing request is not successful. (Find report under FEB 2010)

At the Mar 16 BOE meeting, the Board will vote on the implementation of the recommended budget reduction measures (7pm at the MJHS).

District facilities planning continues with community and staff teams working together to develop building space and design needs and to plan for accommodating students throughout the next two years.  A dedicated Fairfax community group is also planning events to honor the history of Fairfax Elementary over the May 21-22 weekend.  Details to follow.
