Mabel‑Canton Public Schools Superintendent Gary Kuphal handed out an informational brochure and briefly summarized the items planned for a proposed school referendum at the Canton City Council meeting on March 12, 2025. Kuphal answered a few questions from the public before leaving the meeting later in the evening.
Mayor Kristy Ziegler urged residents to participate, saying, "I encourage all eligible voters in Canton to review the materials of recent mailings from the school, attend the informational meeting at the Mabel‑Canton School library on March 18th 6PM-7PM, and to let your voice be heard by voting." The minutes show the referendum vote is scheduled for Tuesday, April 8, with polling hours from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Deputy Clerk Barb Kerns told the council that the city posted information about the referendum on its Facebook page with links for further information. The meeting minutes note Kuphal provided a brochure but do not list the referendum dollar amounts or specific projects; those details were not specified in the minutes and remain in the referendum materials distributed by the school district.
The city did not record any public comments on the referendum during the March 12 meeting. For more detail on what the referendum would fund and the ballot language, voters should consult the materials mailed by the Mabel‑Canton School district and attend the March 18 informational meeting.
