Fairport School District enhances UPK with stronger curriculum and sustainable facilities

The Fairport Central School District Board of Education meeting on April 22, 2025, focused on enhancing the Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) program and improving school facilities.

During the meeting, officials emphasized their commitment to strengthening the UPK curriculum and partnerships, despite not adding additional sections. The district currently operates six UPK sections, which have been expanded over recent years. The goal is to ensure that families feel confident in their choice of Fairport as a strong educational foundation for their children as they transition to kindergarten.

In addition to UPK improvements, the board discussed plans for modernizing and maintaining school facilities. They highlighted the importance of environmentally sustainable practices and the effective use of resources across the district. With 303 acres and 12 buildings, the district supports a robust technological infrastructure, including 900 wireless access points and 4,500 Chromebooks for students, alongside over 300 for staff.

Transportation logistics were also addressed, noting that approximately 4,900 students are transported daily, covering a total of one million miles each year. These discussions reflect the district's ongoing efforts to enhance educational experiences and operational efficiency for its students and families.
