Our taxpayers choose to invest in our Future-Ready Raiders when they approve the annual school budget. That approval funds more than just classroom experiences and curriculum – it funds every part of the organization! Each year, we go behind the scenes of the budget to show you all the things that your tax dollars fund and how the District is making the most of your investment.

Candidates for Board of Education
Erica Belois-Pacer - (BOE President) – Incumbent
Fairport resident for 18.5 years
Occupation: Director of Professional Development and Training, National APSE
Two Fairport High School graduates, one child currently enrolled in Fairport schools
I am running for the Fairport School Board again to continue supporting students, staff, and families during an important time of transition. Since being elected in 2020, I have listened to diverse perspectives and worked to make student-centered decisions. As a parent of children in the district, I stay closely connected to our community. My background as a teacher and my current work supporting educators and individuals with disabilities at the state and national level guide my commitment to expanding opportunities for all. I want to continue the progress we have made and help ensure consistency and support across our schools.
Lisa Christensen - Incumbent
Fairport resident for 12 years
Occupation: Early Childhood Speech-Language Pathologist, Liberty POST
One Fairport High School graduate, three children currently enrolled in Fairport schools
I am running for reelection to continue supporting the Board of Education’s vision and priorities, while also asking thoughtful questions that help the district navigate new challenges with both critical thinking and creativity. As a board member, the most important question I can ask is, “How will this affect students?”
I am proud to live in and serve the Fairport Central School District, and I look forward to the opportunity to continue contributing to the Board of Education.
Peter Forsgren
Fairport resident for 25 years
Occupation: C.O.O. and Co-founder, three+one
Five Fairport High School graduates
After 12 years of service on the school board (2012–2024) and a two-year hiatus, my commitment to serving our community—especially our children—remains strong. Providing a quality education for every child is one of government’s most important responsibilities and essential to a thriving community. My wife and I have watched all five of our children progress through Fairport CSD, experiencing firsthand the value of a strong education in preparing them for the future. Fairport does this well—and can continue to do so by staying focused on our mission, maintaining fiscal responsibility, and adapting to rapid technological change. I respectfully ask for your support and your vote to help lead Fairport CSD into a bright future.
