What Gorham Fayette Local Sch Dist does

Fayette Local School District (also referenced as Gorham Fayette Local School District) is a public K-12 school district and political subdivision of the State of Ohio serving approximately 400 students from preschool through grade 12 in the Village of Fayette and surrounding Fulton County area. The district operates two schools — Fayette Elementary (Preschool-6) and Fayette Junior High/High School (7-12) — within a single combined facility at 400 E. Gamble Rd. that was first occupied in 2008, with an attached athletic complex and FFA classroom extension. The district delivers core academic instruction, special education under IDEA, Title I interventions, gifted education, English Learner services, College Credit Plus dual enrollment, a five-star rated preschool, a National ACT Testing Center, athletics (Buckeye Border Conference, "Eagles"), FFA, and a Fayette Virtual Academy through the NOVA consortium.

The district's underlying technology stack is standard K-12 educational SaaS: PowerSchool for the student information system and grade portal, Final Forms for online registration and athletics paperwork, PaySchools Central for meal payments and free/reduced lunch applications, DragonFly Athletics for scheduling, and Navigate Prepared for emergency preparedness. The district website is hosted on Google Sites, and a Technology Coordinator (Matt Eroh) oversees operations. No proprietary technology, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities are present.

Revenue derives from three non-commercial streams: state aid (formula-driven based on enrollment), local property tax levies, and federal grants administered through Ohio's Comprehensive Continuous Improvement Plan (Title I, Special Education Part B, Title IV, Preschool Services, Fifth Quarter Agricultural). A modest meal program generates ancillary revenue at unit prices of $2.00-$5.00 per meal. The district is governed by a five-member elected Board of Education and administered by Superintendent Angela R. Belcher, Ed.D., and Treasurer/CFO Kelly L. Bentley. As a government entity, there are no shareholders, private investors, or commercial customers; the "customers" are resident and open-enrollment students and their families.
