Fairfield City Schools is a public school system administered by the Fairfield Board of Education to serve the City of Fairfield. Its offices are located at 6405 Avenue D Fairfield.
In August 1965, following a suit brought by a group of Black families represented by Demetrius Newton, District Court Judge H. H. Grooms ordered the system to submit a desegregation plan to his court. Board attorney Maurice Bishop said that the plan would be substantially similar to those already approved for Jefferson County, Birmingham and Bessemer.
In 1988 then-Mayor of Fairfield Larry Langford used newly-granted authority to push through a 1% sales tax increase to bail out the system's debts.
