Canfield BOE implements new parent, bullying notification systems

CANFIELD

Canfield Board of Education announced several new programs to launch at the start of this academic year.

Rich Archer, district business manager, said soon parents will begin receiving voice, text or email messages regarding school-related happenings.

The contract is for one year, and the system will cost the district $1.75 per student. Parents will have the ability to receive the messages through any of the three options or to opt out completely, he said.

Archer said the district is also implementing a bully safety tip line that can be used by any Canfield staff, student or parent to confidentially report dangerous behavior.

The tip line number is 330-965-2871 and is open 24-hours-per-day.
