Board updates levy outreach and outlines plan to move West Campus classroom into new HVAC building
Summary
Board members reported active community outreach ahead of the May 5 levy renewal and described transitioning West Campus programming into a new HVAC building to reduce rent costs (cited $50,000 savings) and expand instructional opportunities for students.
Board members reported at the April 20 Canton Local meeting that a community‑led committee has been conducting canvassing, phone banks, text messaging and billboard outreach ahead of a May 5 levy renewal vote. Volunteers and committee members have coordinated regular meetings and phone bank logistics to get levy information to residents.
Separately, the board discussed plans to transition a West Campus classroom into the district’s new HVAC building. The district said the HVAC building classroom was designed for that use and will allow students who had been placed offsite at West Campus to be reintegrated with a hybrid schedule. The board said the move is expected to generate rental savings (the transcript cites $50,000) and provide instructional advantages by allowing program access to the football field, track and auxiliary gym and by easing supervision.
Board members framed both items as district priorities: the levy outreach to secure local funding and the West Campus transition to lower costs and improve student programming. No formal decisions or votes on either the levy outreach plan or the classroom move were recorded in the publicly available transcript from this meeting.
