Over the summer break, FPCS installed new security systems at Fairview High School, Mayer Middle School and the Early Education Learning Center.

The key purpose of new security will keep people from entering district campuses after designated times (see below). All parents and visitors must enter through the school's main entrance. Those inside the buildings will be able to leave throughout the day, but will have to buzzed through the main entrance to get back into school.

"We live in a wonderful community where we all feel safe and secure," said FPCS Superintendent Brion Deitsch. "Thankfully, modern technology helps us protect our most precious assets, our children. I greatly appreciate your patience while we implement these measures to insure the safety of our students and our staff."

Early Education Learning Center
Currently all wiring is installed for the new security system. EELC is waiting to receive a touch monitor for parents to enter a personalized code to drop off or pick up their children.

Gilles-Sweet Elementary School
Gilles-Sweet will continue to enforce the security system they used last school year. Currently, doors are propped open for students to enter the building from 8:15 to 8:30 a.m. Afterwards, doors will remain locked from the outside of the building. All parents and visitors must enter the building from the main entrance.

Lewis F. Mayer Middle School
All doors will be unlocked until 8:40 a.m. Afterwards, doors will remain locked from the outside of the building. All parents and visitors must enter the building from the main entrance.

Fairview High School
All doors will remain unlocked until 7:45 a.m. Doors will remain locked from the outside until 3 p.m. unless for sporting events.

In February, the Fairview Park City School District Board of Education hired K12 School Consultants to conduct an ongoing audit to ensure that all students attending FPCS schools are residents of Fairview Park City Schools.

Since then, K12 School Consultants has discovered 12 students who do not reside in the Fairview Park City School District but who were registered on the FPCS enrollment figures. Included in this number were students who were found to be residents of outside communities attending FPCS, and students attending charter schools, who resided outside FPCS, but were using addresses within the FPCS District.
