At its meeting on Thursday, January 15, 2026, the Fairfield City School District Board of Education approved a Resolution of Necessity, a required step in the process of placing a proposed 1.25% school district earned income tax on the May 5, 2026, ballot.

This action does not enact a tax or place the measure on the ballot. It allows the district to receive certified estimates from the Ohio State Tax Commissioner and continue the process required under Ohio law.
