A Message from Your Superintendent, Dr. Regina Thompson

Spring 2023

To the students, parents, and employees of the Fairfield City School System:

Looking back over the past few years, it is both humbling and deeply inspiring how far we have come as a school district.

First, we accomplished and in some cases exceeded the goals that were set five years ago under the prior Strategic Plan. Furthermore, our amazing team of educators did so despite the hurdles brought by the pandemic. In February of this year, we unveiled the District's new Five Year Strategic Plan. These objectives were established based on educational data in collaboration with administrators and staff.

As superintendent, I will continue to work tirelessly to mold Fairfield into a world class school district that provides students with an exceptional elementary experience to prepare them for high school, college and careers in the 21st century.

As I've stated before, Fairfield City Schools is a school system purposefully committed to providing a quality education for all students. The school system has worked diligently to develop and maintain a reputation as an elite, proactive, and successful school system dedicated to student achievement as its top priority. As superintendent, it is my responsibility to uphold these fundamental values by placing students at the forefront of all decision-making and supporting teachers with the necessary resources for effective instruction. Working together with stakeholders, my goal is to respect, support, and set high expectations for all employees to ensure a valuable, productive, and safe educational environment.

Superintendent’s Vision and Goals

1. Embrace a collaborative culture that builds community schools through the engagement of staff, parents, and community partners to support the district and accelerated student success.

2. Create student-centered learning environments, whereas students play a key role in setting their goals with their teachers, counselors, advisors, and parents; this will be inclusive of designing strategic instruction and assessments for competency.

3. Ensure technology integration and digital citizenship are part of the instructional process.

4. Ensure that teachers and administrators are collaborating through a Professional Learning Community Process.

5. Create a transparent monitoring system that holds all administrators, faculty, and staff accountable for meaningful school improvement and rapid academic turnaround.

Dr. Regina D. Thompson
