Why We CARE!
Fairfield City Schools will be on the November 8th ballot with an operating levy. The money raised from the passage of this issue will allow Fairfield to continue to provide the level of academic excellence that our community demands.
Citizens for Fairfield Schools is a group of Fairfield residents dedicated to educating the community about the upcoming levy. Our goal is to provide the voters of Fairfield with the facts surrounding the upcoming ballot issue so that they can make an informed decision at the polls. We are completely funded by private donations and rely on community support through our network of volunteers. We hope you find this website helpful and informative!
