In a recent public letter, The School Superintendent says-
School Budget Update
The Board of Education, in conjunction with District
administration, has been re-examining the 2020-21 school budget
as a result of the world pandemic and economic pause. As I
reiterated at the Board meeting on Tuesday, the current
financial environment demands that we are increasingly
conscientious, while continuing to provide our students with
high level educational opportunities.
We are thoughtfully reassessing how the District will move
forward with reduced revenue sources and a looming recession.
Our plan to use District reserves and realize natural
efficiencies through attrition (retirements) will help mitigate
the reduction of staff and preserve programming. Undoubtedly,
however, there will be staffing changes and reductions. These
losses are disheartening to our organization; our staff is
integral to our programming and connect with students in so many
different ways.
Call to Action: Advocate for Federal Stimulus
Governor Cuomo has stated that education aid may be cut by 20%
without additional help from the Federal
Government................

THIS is welcome news indeed! Hopefully this budget can be
disposed of in it's entirety. Things HAVE changed, and it's
going to be a VERY tough battle over the coming months for
Fairport residents, without this awful financial burden.
