Fairmont Area Schools
November 2025 Building Bond Referendum
Fairmont Area Schools seeks to be a leading and innovative district that prepares students to thrive today and excel tomorrow. With an “Inspired Learning for Life” mindset, we want our Cardinals to step into the world with integrity, excellence, and a sense of purpose. What we teach our students and the environments where they learn are equally important, and our district is continuously planning for the future. Over the past year, we have worked through a long-range planning process to understand, identify, and prioritize our facility and educational needs.
On or before Tuesday, November 4, residents will decide whether to invest $21.7 million for critical facility and educational improvements at both schools by casting their vote. The proposed plan includes building a fine arts learning center addition, a new secured entrance and office area, adding windows to several classrooms, replacing underfloor sewer pipe, and other improvements at our junior/senior high school. The plan also includes replacing the original 1954 elevator and making additional exterior and interior improvements, such as tuckpointing and door replacements at our elementary school.
We encourage residents to use this website to learn more about our challenges, the proposed plan, the tax impact, how to vote, and more. Election Day is Tuesday, November 4, and absentee/early voting is available either in person or by mail starting Friday, September 19. We are committed to timely and transparent communications with residents over the next several months, and we encourage all residents to be informed and engaged.
