FAIRFIELD RANKED AMONG MOST EFFICIENT IN OHIO   (June, 2011)

 

According to a study released by Ohio Education Matters, 135 school districts in Ohio appear to get more for their money in central-office administration, school-level administration, food service, student transportation, and building maintenance.

"The Fairfield Local School District has shown it can deliver quality services at a lower cost than most other districts in the state," said Andrew Benson, executive director of OEM. "The taxpayers and residents of this community should be proud that its school district takes seriously the best use of resources to benefit children."

"We try to keep an eye on everything and are utilizing taxpayer money the best we can," superintendent Bill Garrett said. "Looking at per-pupil costs, we are spending way below the state average and maintaining a very good academic standing."

Benson described the school district as "best-in-class," and said other school districts that aren't as efficient should look to Fairfield to learn how it is doing more with less.

"By spending less in these non-instructional areas and yet still meeting minimal quality standards, Fairfield Local ensures that more dollars are getting into its classrooms to help support students," he said. "We think it's reasonable to assume that if this best-in-class district can achieve these kinds of efficiencies, so can other districts that are similar."

Fairfield is among the three most-efficient districts, or the top five percent in the state, according to the study.

"We've taken great pains over the past few years so we've had to be thrifty in how we're spending money," Garrett said. "It's hard to put a finger on exactly what we've done, but we look at every expenditure and control costs as best we can. We do a pretty good job."

The study showed that districts could save nearly $1.4 billion each year if they followed the best practices of districts like Fairfield.
