North Canton Middle School Administrator Vacancy

We are working on trimming our budgets at home and in our places of employment.  So naturally, one would think our school district would be looking for ways to maximize their expenditure.

Did you ever notice when we replace a new Administrator in North Canton the last three superintendents always hire their cronies outside of the district?  They might reply to you, “It is because we want someone with more experience.”  This seems to be a reasonable response. 

Anyone could accept this response if they did not know the level of education, licensures and experience we have within our own walls of North Canton City Schools.

We have working teachers in the district who have licensures as administrators and experience.  With the salary they make, they could be moved into a vacant administrative position and the district could hire two teachers.  This would allow the district to fill the vacancy and hire two teachers for what it was costing to have that one teacher in the classroom.

Before we pass our next levy, let us think about it and ask the right questions and make sure we are promoting from within our walls.
