Canfield board approves new principal, routine financial moves and modest fee increases
Summary
Trustees approved personnel hires including incoming high‑school principal Salvatore Myron, accepted donations of $25,317.68, approved a $3,500 FSA transfer and approved modest course and lunch fee increases earmarked partly for technology.
The Canfield Local Board of Education approved a block of personnel and routine financial items at its June 10 meeting, including hiring a new high‑school principal, budget authorizations and modest fee changes for the 2026–27 school year.
Personnel: Trustees approved several classified and administrative hires and accepted resignations. The board approved Salvatore Myron as the district’s new high‑school principal, effective Aug. 1, 2026, under a three‑year contract at $105,000.
Finance and procurement: Treasurer Mr. Marco asked for a routine authorization allowing year‑end transfers and adjustments to complete fiscal 2026 accounting under the Ohio Revised Code; trustees approved the action. The board also approved a $3,500 transfer from the general fund to the district FSA account to cover an anticipated negative balance at June 30, after Mr. Marco explained that fiscal‑year and benefit‑year timing differences can create temporary deficits.
Mr. Marco also presented two "then‑and‑now" approvals for invoices greater than $3,000 where no purchase order existed: Canfield Township (rock salt) for $6,243.30 and Champion Robotics boosters for $3,200; both motions passed by roll call.
Fees and food service: Trustees approved recommended course fee changes for 2026–27 (most high‑school course fees up $5; woods/foods up $15) and a $20 per‑child increase earmarked for district technology purchases. The board also approved small lunch price increases (generally five cents) after a comparative review of peer districts.
Donations: The board accepted $25,317.68 in donations across clubs and scholarships, including a $10,000 charitable gift and multiple smaller gifts directed to clubs and the CHS art show.
Field trips and policy updates: Trustees approved several out‑of‑state and overnight trip requests for athletics and extracurricular groups, accepted revised policy language limiting religious release time to lunch and recess, and adopted the 2026–27 student‑parent handbooks with minor updates.
Each of the above motions carried by roll call, with trustees voting in favor on the record.
