As of 2016, Brett Provenzano is the superintendent.

History

The predecessor for the district was a series of eleven district schools opened in the Town of Perinton in the 1810s through the 1830s. From 1826 until 1872, the village was served by the district 9 school which was situated in two different buildings on East Church Street. [5] [6] In 1872, the Fairport Classical and Union School opened on West Church Street. [7] Along with the Northside School (1886) on East Avenue and Fairport High School (1924) on West Avenue, it became part of system of schools that served the town population increasingly concentrated in the village. In 1920, the board of education for the village schools hired its first superintendent. [8]

Voters approved centralization of Perinton school districts 2 through 9 on April 30, 1951 [9] and the centralized district began operating the following September. [10] At that point most of the district schools had closed and students attended one of the village schools (the Northside School on East Avenue, the Southside School on West Church Street, or Fairport High School on West Avenue). The district opened the Johanna Perrin School on Potter Place in the Village in 1954, razing the Southside School (the former Fairport Classical and Union Free School) the following year. In 1957, the district renamed the high school on West Avenue in honor of Martha A. Brown, [11] and constructed a new high school, Minerva DeLand, in 1959. The Brooks Hill Primary School followed in 1962 and the Jefferson Avenue Elementary School in 1966. In 1965, the Martha Brown School moved to a new building on Ayrault Road. In 1970, the district opened Dudley and Northside elementary schools as well as the current high school on Ayrault Road. In the early 2000s the district briefly considered opening an additional elementary school in the hamlet of Egypt (to be named "White Brook" after the former district school 12), but could not secure enough funding from the state. [12] In 1999 the village of Fairport, the FCSD and Monroe #1 BOCES announced a collaboration to have public ch 12 used for more than government meetings and programs. A full-time staff was put together to accomplish this goal. As of 2013, this channel is no longer in use. Board of Education meetings may be viewed online at fairport.org [13]
