The final open forum was held tonight to hear what the public has to say about the plans to update Shawnee's school buildings.

Shawnee Local Schools Superintendent Jude Meyers states that a shortage in bus drivers has caused a temporary shut down of one bus route, and so far, only one route out of their 23 buses has been affected. This has caused the district to ask parents to look for other means of transportation as they address the issue.
Shawnee Local Schools will see a major change soon after Superintendent Jim Kanable announced his plan to retire. Kanable stepped into the position in April of 2017 and previously served as superintendent and principal to several other schools. In an email to staff, Kanable stated a departure date has not been selected yet, but he’ll leave plenty of time to find a replacement. He also acknowledged the district's successes during his time there, including a levy passage earlier this month which will generate new funding. The Shawnee School Board says they will begin searching for a new superintendent immediately.
The school hopes to pass a 2.2-million-dollar levy over a five-year period. This comes to about 4.58 mills. Funding from this levy would be used to flatten the current operating deficit. It would go towards paying staff, running buses and cafeterias, and helping out extracurriculars. Jim Kanable, Shawnee Local Schools Superintendent, says if the levy fails, it would put them behind in many ways.
