Project Right Size, Bright Future

Project Right Size, Bright Future is a key part of a broader initiative to reduce budget pressures while addressing shifts in student population across Fayette County Public Schools. Factors in play include school capacity, building costs, facilities upkeep, and the demand for modern, specialized learning environments.

Our district is closely examining all its facilities with an eye toward improving financial efficiency and long-term sustainability. A community-based committee is offering insight and feedback as FCPS leaders develop a multi-year plan to align facilities for specialized programs and assign boundaries to address capacity for new and underutilized school buildings. The goal is to ensure we can direct finite budget dollars toward what matters most: student programs, school activities, and continued academic growth.

The next focus will be on the Audrey Grevious Center, Martin Luther King Jr. Academy, and Success Academy.

We're using a shared accountability model for input and feedback throughout this journey:

FCPS District Leadership -- staff in the Operations, Pupil Personnel, and Budget departments
Community Committee -- representatives from businesses and civic organizations, faith leaders, and education advocates
Impacted Schools -- representatives from their staff and students' families

Note: The Fayette County Board of Education makes the final decisions.
