Canton, School District, Others Team Up for ‘Earn and Learn’

CANTON, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – They’re calling it “earn and learn”.

Over a hundred Canton City School District students will be able to make up for any “pandemic lag” with a different kind of summer hiring program that has students back in the classroom in the morning, but at a worksite in the afternoon.

The city has a number of employers who are partnering.

Deputy Canton Mayor Fonda Williams says they don’t want Canton City School District students falling by the wayside because of the pandemic.
