The Kansas Board of Education did not approve Gov. Kelly’s executive order to delay the opening of schools until after Labor Day. The board voted 5 to 5 on the executive order, but a tie means a "NO" vote. When school starts is up to each local school board to decide. SO WHEN DO WE START SCHOOL AT FAIRFIELD? Your Board of Education has previously approved a calendar where school for students starts August 19th, 2020. Our website has all of the current dates. You will get your printed calendars at enrollment in the first week of August. Whether you were for or against this order, we will work together with you for solutions to keep your children safe at school.

Please see the attachment for enrollment information.

When does school start? Right now it all depends upon several things. First, the Governor will issue an executive order to not start public school classes until after Labor Day. This is supposed to happen today. Secondly, the Kansas State Board of Education will hold a special meeting to discuss, and then either accept/reject the governor's order. It will be broadcast virtually later this week, maybe Wednesday. (3) What happens after that is still being debated . It could eventually end up being the decision of either our County Commissioners or our local school board. We will let you know once we know.
Even though some things are uncertain at this time, one thing is for sure. We are planning on doing what we can to make children and staff safe at school when we do return.
