Fairmont School Board Approves Two Question Bond Referendum Vote for February, 2027

The Fairmont Area School Board has approved placing a two question building bond referendum before voters on February 9^th, 2027.

The revised proposal comes after voters considered a previous referendum in November 2025.  The district says facility and educational space needs remain, but the new plan separates the projects into two questions.

Question one seeks $9,750,000 for health, safety, security, accessibility and critical building improvements.  Projects include exterior repairs at both school buildings, replacing a failing wastewater pipe at the high school, a secure entrance and a new elevator for the elementary school.

Question Two seeks and additional $11,640,000 for flooring improvements and expanded classroom space for band, choir, orchestra and theater programs.  Question Two can only pass if Question One is approved.

More information, including estimated tax impacts and voting details, will be available at FairmontBond.com later this month.
