Superintendent announces resignations, staff moves and coach contracts at Canton Local

The superintendent reported multiple personnel actions for the 2026–27 school year at the June 8 board meeting, including resignations, transfers and newly posted positions.

Announced resignations effective July 31 included a high‑school monitor (named in the record) and a paraprofessional. A cross‑country and track head coach is resigning at the end of the school year but will remain as a classroom teacher. The superintendent read a longer list of transfers and hires: classified substitutes, cafeteria and custodial substitutes, bus drivers, and supplemental contracts for coaches and volunteers who have completed required clearances.

The board moved and seconded to act separately on personnel items (A1, A2) and on supplemental coach contracts. A separate motion was made to vote on a contract for Carrie Taylor; the transcript shows the motion and second and board members asking clarifying questions about posting coaching openings and community notice. No roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting audio included in the transcript.

Members discussed posting practices for coaching positions to ensure openings receive broad community notice and noted internal interest for certain positions.

The district also listed summer‑school staff assignments and supplemental contract exhibits for board approval for the coming school year.
