'He was driven out,' one school board member said Monday.
The Canon-McMillan School Board on Monday accepted the resignation of the district’s varsity head football coach by a vote of 5-4—but not before one board member said he felt it was necessary to let it be publicly known that Tim Sohyda "was driven out." “We have certain people in our community that took it upon themselves to recruit a new football coach with no authority,” said school Director Joe Zupancic, who added that he believed that action interferes with the rights of the board.

The district joins with Washington County in asking the North Strabane venue to turn over discovery documents.
Canon-McMillan school directors voted unanimously Monday to authorize attorney Dave Andrews to file a motion in Washington County court compelling The Meadows Racetrack & Casino to produce income records that impact tax revenue due to the district. According to a press release from the district, this action has been forced because the Meadows refuses to release its income information to Canon-McMillan and the county. The information is necessary for the appraiser to accurately give an opinion of the property's value, the district said in a statement. Multiple board members spoke up sharing their dismay for the situation. “Our press release says we are disappointed that The Meadows (is) requiring us to go to court to try to compel them to …
