SPRINGFIELD TWP. – The Springfield Local Schools Board of Education voted to accept the resignation of employee Brad Beun during an April 23 emergency meeting.
Beun was arrested by the FBI on April 17 and was immediately placed on paid administrative leave as is the district’s protocol. On April 20, the Board of Education voted to remove Beun from paid administrative leave.
The investigation is ongoing, and the district is cooperating with the authorities. The FBI has revealed allegations that were, according to the board and administration “deeply disturbing against Beun.” It is believed that Beun had arranged to meet an adult and an 8-year-old girl for the purposes of sexual activity but was instead arrested by FBI undercover agents. He has since been charged with coercion or enticement.

JACKSON TWP. “You’ve got this” is proudly displayed on the home page of the RTC Fitness Co., which is located in the building of the Stark State Campus that used to house the Fuel Cell Research Center of Stark State.
The center has been occupying the space since the spring of 2019.
RTC Fitness is owned and operated by Allison Sholley, a level two trainer and nutrition coach. Sholley said she decided to open the gym when returning to the area after she graduated with a business degree from the University of Colorado.
“I came home from college and didn’t know what I wanted to do,” Sholley said. “One day my brother asked me to go his gym with him. I was 22 years old at the time 30 pounds overweight, so I went and from that first day I was hooked. I started going to the gym five days a week. But I thought there had to be a better way to go to they gym than spending $125 a month on membership.”
