Fairmont Area Schools
february 2027 building bond referendum
At Fairmont Area Schools, we focus on preparing students to thrive today and excel tomorrow. What students learn and the spaces where they learn are both important. Over the past two years, we have worked through a detailed planning process to understand, identify, and prioritize our facility and educational-space needs.
In November 2025, residents did not approve a single-question building bond referendum. Following that election, we continued to gather feedback, reevaluated our identified needs, and reconsidered how to address them.
On Tuesday, November 10, the Fairmont Area Schools Board of Education approved moving forward with a revised, two-question building bond referendum. Residents will vote on the proposal on Tuesday, February 9.
What is different from 2025?
The February 2027 referendum includes two ballot questions, allowing residents to consider critical facility, safety, security, and accessibility improvements separately from educational support improvements. We heard you, we listened, and our needs still remain.
question 1: health, safety, accessibility, and critical facility improvements ($9.75 MILLION)
question 2: EDUCATION SUPPORT AND OTHER FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS ($11.64 MILLION)
STAY INFORMED. ASK QUESTIONS. CAST YOUR VOTE.
