What Frazier School District does

Frazier School District is a public K-12 school district located in Perryopolis, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, serving approximately 1,150 students from Pre-K through grade 12 across three schools (Frazier Elementary School, Frazier Middle School, and Frazier High School) and two virtual programs (Frazier Cyber on Imagine Edgenuity and the Frazier Virtual Academy with live teacher-led instruction). The district spans roughly 58.3 square miles across five municipalities — Perryopolis Borough, Perryopolis Township, Lower Tyrone Township, Jefferson Township, and Newell Borough — supporting a residential population of approximately 8,631. Operations are staffed by 130 employees (80 teachers, 43 support personnel, 7 administrators) under Superintendent Michael Turek, who has held the role since July 2024.

The district's technology stack is anchored by Google Workspace for Education, with a 1:1 device initiative (Chromebooks for grades 1-12, iPads for PreK-K) backed by an optional Accidental Protection Plan. Student records run on Skyward; library services on Follett Destiny; single sign-on via Clever; and virtual learning via Imagine Edgenuity. Safety is addressed through Raptor Visitor Management and the Gaggle student email monitoring integration, while the district also maintains an AI use policy (Policy 815.3) covering generative AI in education.

As a non-profit government entity, the district is funded through Pennsylvania state education subsidies, local property taxes across the five-municipality catchment, and federal programs including ESSA, Title I, and IDEA. All resident students receive free K-12 public education; meals are free under the Community Eligibility Provision. The district supplements core instruction with dual-enrollment partnerships (Mt. Aloysius College, IUP, WVU), vocational pathways via the Central Westmoreland Career and Technology Center, STEM curriculum through Project Lead The Way, and a range of student support services including special education and gifted programs.
