Three months after Jeff Talbert conducted a virtual listening tour to hear from residents, the Canton City Schools superintendent was back on tour answering their questions about the district’s sweeping restructuring proposal.
Talbert spent more than five hours during five virtual community meetings over the past two weeks fielding questions about the Design for Excellence plan, which restructures each of the district’s 22 school buildings in an effort to reduce the number of buildings and amount of staff to match declining enrollment while giving students more educational opportunities.
“It was good to hear from the community about what was important to them," said Talbert during an interview with The Canton Repository on Friday.
