Canfield board approves personnel moves, service agreements, policies and donations; several resolutions passed unanimously
Summary
The board approved minutes, the treasurers report, personnel hirings and retire/rehire resolutions, out-of-state trips, service agreements with the Mahoning Valley RCOG and the county ESC, adoption of state special-education model policies, acceptance of amounts and rates, and March donations totaling $14,794; all motions passed by roll call (unanimous yes votes recorded).
The Canfield Local Schools Board of Education considered and approved a package of routine and policy items during its March meeting.
Minutes and fiscal reports: The board approved minutes from the Feb. 12 meeting (motion by Mr. Campbell; second by Mr. DeMilo) and accepted the treasurers January reports, which showed a temporarily reduced general-fund balance because January had three payrolls and real-estate tax advances are collected in March.
Personnel and retire/rehire: The board approved personnel recommendations that included a retire/rehire request effective Aug. 1, 2025, several classified and cafeteria hires, transfers (including Logan Franzowski from middle-school intervention tutor to grade-5 teacher effective for the 2025—2026 school year), extracurricular appointments, and summer help. The board later adopted Resolution 92-2025 approving the retire/rehire arrangement for Mr. Vito and Ms. Tubic.
Trips and agreements: The board approved out-of-state overnight field trips (Campbell first graders to Keystone Safari, Grove City, PA on May 23, 2025; Model UN club to Westminster College, New Wilmington, PA on April 9, 2025). It also approved a service agreement with the Mahoning Valley Regional Council of Governments for substitute-teacher services (renewal through June 30, 2026) and an additional services agreement with the county educational service center (preschool, special-ed units, OT/PT and speech) for the 2025—2026 year.
Policy and fiscal resolutions: The board adopted updated state-required special-education model policies and procedures and accepted amounts and rates provided by the county auditor (Resolution 94-2025) to adjust levies and millage calculations to produce the intended levy revenue.
Donations and closing: The board recorded March donations totaling $14,794, including foundation gifts to robotics and principalsfunds, and approved the donation report. The board then entered an executive session on public-employee matters; it returned at 8:10 p.m., took no further action publicly, and adjourned by unanimous voice vote.
