DISTRICT CONSOLIDATION RESOURCES 

 

 

We understand there has been a lot of information shared regarding the proposed school consolidation, and we have created this page to keep resources in one place for our Fairview families.

 

This page includes:

• Information shared by the Middletown Township Public School District

• Materials shared by the Save Our Schools (SOS) group

 

As a PTO, our goal is to provide access to all information so families can stay informed.

Save Our Schools: Community Meeting 

 

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend the SOS informational meeting.

 

For those who were unable to attend, important information was shared regarding how the current school closure plan could impact ALL students, with a closer look at what this may mean for Fairview beginning in the 2027–2028 school year.

 

Based on the data presented, middle school overcrowding is expected, and additional closures in the future remain a possibility.

 

SOS also shared that there is still time to advocate before any final decisions are made. The plan has not yet been approved by the County Superintendent or the State, and there is pending litigation that requires a response in the near future. Additionally, it was noted that the current budget deficit may be addressable through alternative solutions.
