The Churchill County School District held a Zoom meeting on July 25, 2025, focusing on preparations for the upcoming school year and addressing ongoing issues with the middle school gym.

During the meeting, officials announced the approval of a grant aimed at enhancing mental health services for students. Unlike previous years, when services were provided remotely, this year the district will contract with New Frontier to offer live counseling sessions on-site. This change is intended to improve access to mental health resources for students, moving away from remote services that were implemented last year.

The meeting also highlighted the district's readiness for the new school year, with various schools actively preparing for the return of students. However, concerns were raised regarding the condition of the middle school gym, which has suffered significant damage. The gym floor has warped, creating safety hazards, and officials are currently navigating the insurance claim process to address the repairs. The timeline for these repairs remains uncertain, as it depends on the bidding process and the extent of the damage.

In response to questions about the impact of the gym's condition on middle school activities, officials confirmed that teachers have been informed and are making necessary adjustments. The gym's compromised state poses challenges for upcoming events, and safety remains a priority as the district works to manage the situation.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to student well-being and readiness for the school year, while also addressing the pressing issue of the damaged gym facility. Further updates on the gym repairs and mental health services are expected in future meetings.
