Nutter exits July 1st to return to his consulting business.

The district is expected to introduce Miller as the new superintendent at Tuesday night's board meeting, after a contract is finalized.

A drama instructor at Green Middle School was arrested after authorities say he was found inside a car with a partially clothed 14-year old girl.

The Summit County Sheriff's Office reports a deputy found Jason Mazan, 27, of Canton, inside a parked car behind a business on Massillon Road around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday.

Inspector Bill Holland said Mazan is an assistant drama coach at Green Middle School.

He was arrested for importuning, a 5th degree felony, and booked into the Summit County Jail. 

Mazan has since been released after posting 10 percent of his $50,000 bond.
