What stands out about how Fairview is run
Read from the city’s budget and official records.
Williamson County School District
Fairview’s K–12 school district, shared with Brentwood, Nolensville, Thompson's Station, Franklin, Spring Hill. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $12,771 per pupil, $8,008 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Tennessee districts overall: 40% local, 44% state, 16% federal.
