  • You are required to complete a background check before being hired and then every 5 years after that. The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) only accepts electronic copies. You MUST tell the agency performing the check that you need them sent to ODE. If you have the fingerprinting done at Canton City Schools, please remind them to forward the results to ODE.
    Please contact Rhonda Conrad, Human Resources Liaison at 330-438-2661 or conrad_r@ccsdistrict.org for your mandatory BCI and FBI background check.  The fee for the background check is $53.00 payable in either exact cash or personal check.  You will need to bring your driver's license and social security card with you to the appointment.
     
    The location for the background checks is at the Nadine McIlwain Administrative Center, 305 McKinley Avenue NW, Canton, OH  44702. First floor-Room 110.

     

  • Coaches Tool Chest is a once a year program that keeps our coaches up-to-date with all certification requirements. There is no cost to our coaches. You can obtain your discount code through your athletic director. When you complete the course each year you should sync the completion date to your Final Forms account or email your certificate to the athletic department.
