The school board approved the hiring of Jamie Smart to work no more than 110 hours doing public relations and communications projects this year
The North Canton City School Board recently signed off on a public relations hire to provide some "extra hands" within the district. According to the school board's most recent agenda, the hiring of Jamie Smart as a public relations/communications consultant for no more than 110 hours was up for approval. Superintendent Michael Hartenstein said the board approved Smart's position, and she will now work five hours a week in the district's central office. "It’s five hours a week, but it’s just a second set of hands here," Hartenstein said. “We’re fairly thin here in the central office.” "We needed some help with new initiatives, and we wanted to make sure we are communicating as quickly and cleanly and efficiently as we can."

Now that the details of the district's proposed permanent improvement levy are hashed out, North Canton City Schools Board of Education will meet this morning to wrap up some "remaining legislation" needed to get the 2.4 mill permanent improvement levy on the May ballot.

The Board of Education set a special meeting for 7 p.m. Jan. 22 to discuss the levy, which would be used to improve the district's buildings and buses
North Canton City School District officials are considering a permanent improvement levy to update buildings and improve the district's aging buses. The Akron Beacon Journal recently reported said Superintendent Michael Hartenstein came to the Board of Education with the request to consider the levy, saying nearly 75 percent of Ohio schools have a replacement levy, while North Canton has never had one. “Our infrastructure is in serious need of attention, but there are limited funds to address this issue,” Hartenstein said in the Beacon. “We are also behind on technology. We must give our students a 21st century education with 21st century tools.” You can read the newspaper's full report here. The school board will discuss the proposed …

The YMCA will keep its location inside the Charlotte Building — where it operates its preschool and daycare — after the board approved a year-long lease
The North Canton YMCA will have another year in the Charlotte Building after the North Canton Board of Education approved a year-long lease Wednesday night.
