Kenneth Pruitt, president of the Canton ISD Board of Trustees, presided over a regular board meeting Oct. 20 at the district administration office in Canton where trustees approved several governance and operational items.
The board approved the Canton ISD Board of Trustees Code of Conduct and Standard Operating Procedures for the 2025-26 school year on a motion by Jack Thelen and a second by Dr. Leslea Evans. The motion carried 6-0. Trustees did not record any dissenting votes.
