  Canfield Local Schools is proud to announce that C.H. Campbell Elementary School and Hilltop Elementary School have been recognized as Governor’s Science of Reading Champion Award Schools by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce.

  This prestigious recognition celebrates schools that demonstrate an exceptional commitment to high-quality literacy instruction aligned with the Science of Reading. Both C.H. Campbell and Hilltop met rigorous criteria and continue to build strong reading foundations that prepare students for success.

  As part of this recognition, both schools will receive a celebratory banner and may proudly display the ReadOhio Governor’s Science of Reading Champions logo in school communications.

  Canfield Local Schools Superintendent Joe Knoll praised the dedication of the district’s educators and families in supporting early literacy.

  “Reading is the foundation for all learning, and this recognition reflects the incredible work our teachers and staff are doing every day to support our youngest learners,” said Knoll. “We are proud of the commitment at both Hilltop and C.H. Campbell to use proven instructional practices that help every student grow as a reader. This honor belongs to our educators, students, and families who work together to make literacy a priority.”

  Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Stephen D. Dackin recently announced that only 109 schools across Ohio earned the Governor’s Science of Reading Champions Award for 2026.

  “We know that the Science of Reading is the best way to teach children how to read. When you see a teacher using the Science of Reading to the fullest in the classroom, it’s quite remarkable. For students, it’s fun, engaging, and effective,” said Governor DeWine. “Our Science of Reading Champions Awards allow us to recognize school leaders and teachers who are putting the Science of Reading to work to provide their students with the best educational experience possible. Reading is the key to everything – in school and throughout life.”

  The district will continue its commitment to ensuring every child develops strong literacy skills that will serve them throughout their lives, while proudly displaying the ReadOhio recognition.

 

Student Data Privacy & Technology Provider Contract Annual Notice

The District recognizes and appreciates the importance of parents understanding how the District protects students’ privacy against unauthorized access while using school technology, as well as the circumstances in which the District may access or monitor certain student activity.

Monitoring

Each school year, the District will provide parent(s) with notification of the circumstances in which the District or an affiliated technology provider accesses or monitors your child’s school-issued device as defined by state law. 

The District generally monitors a school-issued device for non-commercial educational purposes for instruction, technical support, or exam-proctoring by District employees, student teachers, contracted staff, a vendor, or the Department of Education and Workforce. The District or its technology provider also generally monitors a school-issued device when it is necessary to comply with federal or state law and to participate in federal and state funding programs; as well as to prevent or respond to a threat to life or safety, and the access is limited to that purpose. Additionally, the District or its technology provider will generally access or monitor a school-issued device when it becomes aware that the device is missing or stolen or if such action is permitted under a judicial warrant or subpoena, unless otherwise prohibited by state or federal law.

Based on the above permissible reasons, the District or its technology provider may access or monitor a school-issued device through student interaction(s) with the device, including, but not limited to, keystrokes and web-browsing activity; location-tracking features of a school-issued device; and/or audio or visual receiving, transmitting, or recording feature(s).

Technology Providers

The District partners with technology providers to give students educational opportunities through online tools that facilitate curriculum, testing, and assessments. As part of our relationship with those providers, they may have access to some of your child's education records. The District, in partnership with the technology providers, continues to comply with student data privacy laws, including R.C. 3319.325-327, FERPA, and COPPA. 

For a list of the technology providers partnering with the District and description of the education records potentially accessed by those providers, please refer to this link:
