The Fayetteville-Manlius community was instrumental in shaping the facilities proposal that will be put before voters on Dec. 5, and so district officials want to make sure residents are informed on what they will be asked to consider when they go to the polls.
The district has planned a series of events at a variety of locations and times in the hope that the majority of residents will find an opportunity to attend that works with their busy schedules.
The first meeting took place during the Nov. 1, Parent Council meeting at the F-M District Office. More meetings are upcoming and there is a wealth of information on the facilities section of the district website, fmschools.org/facilities. Information will also be shared on the district’s social media platforms and via School News Notifier (SNN). A newsletter focusing on the facilities proposal will be mailed districtwide in late November.
Questions or comments can be submitted at any time to Superintendent Craig J. Tice through Let’s Talk!, another of the district’s online communication tools. Tice can be reached at 315-692-1200 or email [email protected].
