Welcome!
Canton Local Schools depend upon the active involvement of citizens working with teachers, school administrators, and Board members to provide quality education for Canton Local students. We encourage you to take an active role in school affairs, which includes attending meetings of the Board of Education.

The board meetings are held at the Administration Center and school sites at 7:00 p.m., the second Monday of each month (except as noted*).

** Update: There will no longer be a limit on public attendees at Board meetings. We will adhere to social distancing and other COVID 19 requirements.
All action of the Board takes place in public session. However, the Board may adjourn to an executive session, in accordance with Ohio's open meeting law, to discuss personnel matters, land purchases, negotiations, pending court action, security arrangements, and confidential records. Any action resulting from the discussion in the executive session must be made during a public session of the Board.
