The Fairview Park City School District [FPCSD] held its annual State of the Schools on Wednesday, Feb. 13 at Fairview High School.

Presentations were given by the district's new Treasurer Ryan Ghizzoni and Superintendent Brion Deitsch.

Ghizzoni gave an overview of state school funding in Ohio, and how the "no new money" renewal levy on March 4 will allow the district to be financially stable through 2012.

"This is an accomplishment that is almost unprecedented in northeast Ohio," said Ghizzoni. "It is due to the five year "No New Money" pledge that the Fairview Park Board of Education made prior to the passage of the 2006 levy. In addition to the reorganization and strategic planning the superintendent mapped out for the district."

Deitsch discussed the past, present and future of curriculum, facilities and finances for FPCSD.

Future curriculum possibilities include curriculum strengthening, increasing the number of courses offered to students such as Mandarin Chinese, and providing adult education opportunities.

Facilities improvements may be made by adopting the House Bill 264 Project. The project would improve energy conservation and lower utility costs district wide.

In January the Coffinberry Early Education Center and the Board of Education office moved into the district's former Parkview Intermediate School building. Now the district is researching how to invest revenue generated from the future sale of Garnett Elementary School and Coffinberry Early Education Center properties.

"The new logo represents where this district is going," said Deitsch. "It will replace the district's school house logo, which is seen on the district's Web site and letterhead. Each individual school logo will remain the same."

After the presentation, Deitsch and Ghizzoni fielded questions from the audience. Then the attendees were led on student-guided tours of the high school and middle school to see recent renovations and technology updates.
