Key decisions and votes at the meeting (motions passed by roll call, all votes recorded as \"yes\" unless noted):

- Approval of minutes for the January organizational and regular meeting (motion moved by Campbell; second DeMilo). The board approved the minutes by roll call.

- Approval of the treasurer's reports for November and December, presented in the treasurer's absence by Mr. Knowles. The report noted a general fund balance decline from $17.9 million (July 1, 2024) to $17.6 million (Dec. 31, 2024), in line with a five‑year forecast; progress payments on construction projects and final payments on HVAC and secured vestibule projects were cited.

- Personnel actions (resignations, hirings, transfers): the board accepted licensed resignations including Lisa Zetz (Hilltop kindergarten teacher, effective June 1, 2025) and Jacqueline Echo (high school math teacher, effective June 1, 2025); classified resignations and hires; approved transfers including Alexis Novotny to a fifth‑grade position for 2025–26; and approved extracurricular assignments listed in exhibit 5. Motion moved by Campbell and seconded by DeMilo.

- Adoption of the 2025–26 school calendar (exhibit 7). The board approved the calendar, noting it resembles the current year, with Christmas break spanning two weeks and graduation scheduled over Memorial Day weekend (Sunday). Motion moved by Campbell; second Alquist.

- Summer school and field trips: the board approved summer‑school requests (dates for elementary and high school programs provided) and several out‑of‑state/overnight field trip requests, including a fifth‑grade trip to Camp Fitch (North Springfield, Pa.), sectional and district wrestling tournaments and a potential state wrestling trip to Columbus (Mar. 6–10, 2025). Motion approvals recorded on roll call.

- Resolution 57‑2025: membership in the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) for the 2025–26 school year (exhibit 10). Approved by roll call.

- Exhibit 11: approval of a service agreement for a student attending Mahoning Valley Community School; board members described it as an agreement for billing that school for the district student placed there. The board approved the service agreement.

- Resolutions related to property valuations: the board adopted motions to authorize filing original complaints challenging the valuation of two parcels (identified in the meeting as parcel numbers 26‑020‑0‑010 and 26‑017‑0‑020.01.0). Board members said the district's attorney and a contracted firm review sales and make recommendations; past cases resulted in recoveries sufficient to cover attorney costs. Motions were moved and passed on roll call.

- Donations: the board accepted several donations detailed in exhibit 18, including Box Tops for Education proceeds, memorial trust contributions and business donations to school programs.

All listed motions were approved by recorded roll call votes during the meeting. Several other routine business items — including temporary appointment of a treasurer pro tem (Dr. Alquist), proclamations honoring school counselors and school resource officers, and Rotary Student of the Month recognitions — were presented but are ceremonial and were not the subject of recorded roll‑call votes beyond the items listed above.

Ending: Board members and the superintendent emphasized continued community communication on major items, including facility planning and the ongoing MSC site testing discussed separately in the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Education Meeting - February 12, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its Feb. 12 meeting the Canfield Local Schools board approved minutes, treasurer reports, personnel actions, the 2025–26 school calendar, summer school, out‑of‑state trips, OHSAA membership and filed two original complaints over property valuations, among other routine business.","taxTitle","Canfield Local, School Districts, Ohio","taxId",47325,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6666943,"Canfield board approves access, temporary fencing and outside environmental oversight after nearby chemical spill",405,794000,1199000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2292435-8d5b6e1886b2112785b7fe82cb125f41&start=794&end=1199","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2292435-8d5b6e1886b2112785b7fe82cb125f41/thumbnail_794000.jpg","/articles/6666943/Ohio/Canfield-board-approves-access-temporary-fencing-and-outside-environmental-oversight-after-nearby-chemical-spill","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6666943-e6a93d9277e6f9c873c2b9f7044d4165/orig.mp4?Expires=1775701158&Signature=BqWzy4SV09FuRi2TQkErB13FVCZF7~0cTH6sK9IeMiY0Plop8-YGNnD9yC3OIOmBbWh2hhsn1uUKhvx3gIishzoHmIuzNheO4rLWj-gQzTFZ9r4sd~LFbGPxm6B1i3NiZuq0PmZ36CtfTxpfPNde7lfH8ZuqgnohPD6z3diMspW02BH04ywSAapV0VKzWT6mLOXeIU0150dCSkUAWyJ79X4usuhVyg4Lnds19Y~anaajzr5wUhV8vti7QfHytP-r12dUqYQFXa9rt6LeUUq6ySs~oaWKQumTB63koSUPTmi7YDK-X1GC5c3ubwqAsshWu6dltk~sUv8nqeVSdj3b4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Canfield Local Schools Board of Education on Feb. 12 approved a temporary fence on district property, an access agreement for a contractor to perform testing, and a contract for an independent environmental consultant after Superintendent Joseph A. Noll briefed the board on ongoing corrective‑action work related to a chemical spill at the nearby MSC facility.

Noll said Ohio EPA and a contractor, August Mac Environmental, have been on site to contain the release and launch investigations, and that the district is coordinating with regulators and the contractor on soil, vapor and groundwater testing. \"Tonight, I am asking the board to approve a resolution for a fence to be placed on our property,\" Noll said during his superintendent's update. He described proposed soil‑gas sampling and indoor air testing in district buildings including the weight room, wrestling room and a concession stand, and said testing in high‑school parking lots and select buildings is planned \"weather permitting\" for the coming weekend.

The board adopted three agenda resolutions related to the matter. It voted to hire Professional Service Industries Incorporated to provide environmental consulting and oversight of testing and reports; to authorize a license agreement allowing a temporary fence on district property near the creek and athletic fields; and to authorize an access agreement with August Mac Environmental Inc. to permit on‑site testing. All three motions passed on roll call votes.

Why it matters: the spill involves trichloroethylene (TCE) and has prompted state oversight, on‑site interim measures and testing in areas adjacent to the creek and district property. The district said the work will include soil, vapor and groundwater sampling and indoor air testing to determine whether site contamination affects school facilities or parking areas.

Details and timeline: Noll said the Ohio EPA has a corrective action plan and that August Mac began on‑site work in July; he described a current phase of investigation. The superintendent said district staff will seek help from a contracted consultant to interpret technical results: \"We're gonna rely on this company and a gentleman specifically to come in and give me some guidance on all these tests ... and then pass it on to the board,\" he said. Board members were told that August Mac has agreed to pay for the work and testing being performed on the campus, while the district is arranging for third‑party oversight to review and explain the reports for district decision‑makers.

Testing locations mentioned by the superintendent include soil‑gas sampling points in the parking area, two indoor‑air test locations (the weight room/wrestling area and the concession stand), wetlands and tributary sampling areas near the creek, and additional soil/vapor/groundwater samples. Noll said the consultant expects test results in about three to four weeks, after which the Ohio EPA will determine any required next steps.

Fencing and property access: the temporary fence will run along the north side of district property near the soccer and baseball fields and connect to existing baseball fencing; board members discussed including gated access points for field retrieval and maintenance. The license is intended to allow construction of fencing required by the EPA's interim actions while testing and remediation proceed. The access agreement authorizes August Mac to perform drilling and sampling on district property; board members emphasized that August Mac is responsible for restoring any drill holes or temporary disturbances.

Board oversight and costs: board members described hiring a district‑retained consultant to interpret data and reports. The board adopted a resolution to contract with Professional Service Industries for that purpose. Superintendent Noll and other board members said they would ask August Mac whether it is willing to reimburse or cover the district's oversight cost, and one board member volunteered to contact the company.

Quotes from the meeting: Superintendent Joseph A. Noll: \"Tonight, I am asking the board to approve ... a fence to be placed on our property.\" He added, \"We're gonna rely on this company ... to come in and give me some guidance on all these tests ... and then pass it on to the board.\" Noll also urged calm and community cooperation: \"As always, Canfield, we're always stronger together.\"

What wasn't decided: the board approved authorization to allow access and to hire an environmental consultant for oversight, but no remediation plan was adopted by the district; any further corrective action will be directed through the Ohio EPA and implemented by August Mac according to the regulator's requirements.

Next steps: testing was planned \"weather permitting\" for the coming weekend; the district expects to receive preliminary testing reports in roughly three to four weeks, after which the Ohio EPA will determine further action and the district's consultant will help translate findings for staff and the board.

Ending: Board members said they will keep the community informed through regular updates and that district staff will continue to press for thorough, timely reporting as testing proceeds.","The Canfield Local Schools board approved a license for a temporary fence, an access agreement for testing and a contract for third‑party environmental consulting after updates on a nearby MSC chemical spill and Ohio EPA corrective action work.","actionData","errors"]
