Canfield Local board approves personnel changes, class of 2025 pending completion, fees, trips, contract and policy updates
Summary
At its May 14 meeting, the Canfield Local Schools Board approved a slate of personnel resignations and hires, ratified the CHS class of 2025 pending completion, kept class fees largely unchanged for 2025–26, approved several out‑of‑state student trips, ratified a contract with the Mahoning County Board of Developmental Disabilities, amended policy 2111 and approved Resolution 157‑2025 for payment in lieu of transportation.
The Canfield Local Schools Board on May 14 approved multiple personnel changes and a package of routine and policy items as recommended by district staff.
Based on the superintendent’s recommendations, the board approved a list of licensed and classified resignations and hirings, including the resignation of Carly Hogan, senior Campbell intervention specialist (effective April 28, 2025), and several classified staff departures effective June 1, 2025. The board also approved transfers and reassignments for licensed and classified staff and hired summer school teachers and an as‑needed sound and lighting technician (Jason Vuksanovich). The personnel motion was moved and seconded and passed on roll call with affirmative votes from the members present.
The board approved the Canfield High School class of 2025 pending completion of course requirements; the superintendent noted 165 students were on the graduation docket. Members also approved class fees for the 2025–26 school year, with the board noting fees largely stayed the same.
The board approved a series of out‑of‑state overnight field trips for athletics and activities in June–July 2025 (including events at Cedar Point Sports Center, college sports camps and a Walsh University football camp), with transportation and lodging details noted in Exhibit 8 and some expenses to be paid by outside sources.
A contract between the Mahoning County Board of Developmental Disabilities and Canfield Local Schools (Exhibit 9) was approved. The board also moved to amend Board Policy 2111 (parent/family engagement) to add language intended to ensure particular attention paid to historically disadvantaged parents does not result in disfavoring other families; the superintendent said the language was provided by the district attorney in response to DEI requirements. The board adopted several policies on second reading as presented in Exhibit 11.
Finally, the board approved Resolution 157‑2025 regarding payment in lieu of transportation for the 2025–26 school year.
All votes called during these agenda items were recorded by roll call; the board recorded the listed members as voting in the affirmative on the motions presented. No further details on dissenting votes were recorded in the transcript.
The district also reported cash donations for May totaling $21,148.94, including a $10,000 gift for scholarships and a $5,995 donation for a baritone saxophone; the board voted to accept the donations.
