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."

The board discussed the $19,000 installation for an LED graphics board, which already is in use at Memorial Stadium, and a $20,000 speaker for the scoreboard at its Wednesday meeting
If you were at the Hoover High vs. Wilson, Ont., home football game on Sept. 7, you probably got a chance to see Memorial Stadium's new LED scoreboard in action.

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

And then on June 28, the board agreed to continue its lease agreement for two months.

North Canton City Schools Board of Education tabled a lease agreement that would have granted the YMCA another 14 months inside the Charlotte building at 200 Charlotte St. NW
