Politics in our Schools?


The preceding ad is posted on the front page of the Massillon City Schools web site;

www.massillon.sparcc.org

One of our faithful readers shared this image with us, and seems to believe that using school resources to promote a political issue, such as a levy, was not legal.

We posed this question to our crack Massillon Review legal team. According to our crack legal team, the Massillon School District may not use public funds or school resources to promote a school levy, as a school levy is a political issue.

We are certain the levy committee is paying the schools a fair market price to place this web advertisement. Otherwise, it would not be legal.
