Summary
Fairfield schools are back at the ballot box with a new tax proposal—this time a five-year, 1.25% earned income tax—to stave off devastating budget cuts. After slashing 84 positions and postponing millions in improvements since 2022, Superintendent Billy Smith warns that without this revenue, another $12–14 million in cuts loom by 2027, threatening student programs. The sunset clause, added to ease community concerns, also gives time to monitor potential state funding changes. Residents remain divided, citing high living costs and complex state funding issues, while the district prepares to unveil specific savings plans if the tax passes.
