- Email Configuration Changes
From Mike Burke, Supervisor of Technology Systems
Support:
1) For informational and worm-tracking purposes, all
email sent out of the district now include the following text:
"This email originated from Fayette County Public Schools

WebMail, you need to go to the "Options" tab and
select it by hand on each email.
