Fairborn City Schools has announced significant leadership changes and financial updates during the Board of Education meeting held on March 7, 2024. The meeting highlighted the appointment of Tammy Gendro as the new principal of Fairborn Intermediate, succeeding Betsy Wyatt, who has made a lasting impact on the school community over her tenure. The decision to promote Gendro was supported by a comprehensive interview process that included both internal and external candidates, as well as input from current teachers, ensuring a well-rounded selection.

In addition to the leadership transition, the board reviewed the monthly financial report and approved a resolution accepting various tax rates, signaling a commitment to fiscal responsibility. The motion passed unanimously, reflecting the board's collaborative approach to financial management.

The meeting also acknowledged the retirements of two long-serving educators, marking the end of an era for Fairborn City Schools. One retiree has dedicated 37 years to education, with 35 years spent within the district, while another has contributed 23 years, all at Fairborn High School. Their departures will be felt deeply within the community.

The board expressed gratitude for the ongoing support from the community, as they recognized various gifts and donations that contribute to the district's educational programs. These contributions play a vital role in enhancing the learning environment for students.

As Fairborn City Schools moves forward with these changes, the board remains focused on fostering a strong educational foundation and supporting its staff and students. The next steps will involve ensuring a smooth transition for the new principal and continuing to engage with the community for further support and development.
