Several trustees said the evaluation’s section that asks the board to rate progress on district goals is difficult to complete without the full set of 2024–25 performance data, which typically arrives later in the fall.

Multiple trustees recommended convening a board retreat to clarify whether the board should retain the current evaluation instrument, revise the timing of the self‑evaluation so it aligns with state data releases and the superintendent’s evaluation, and define measurable board goals distinct from superintendent objectives. Superintendent Christopher Parsons and trustees agreed that policy work and clearer goal alignment would improve governance and that a retreat would be a useful forum for the discussion.

No motion was made to adopt or formally change the evaluation at the meeting; trustees asked staff to arrange a retreat after the start of the school year so the board can review historical outcome data, reconcile evaluation sections with superintendent goals, and consider a policy‑driven approach to goal setting.

Ending: Board leadership directed staff to follow up on scheduling and to include the evaluation and board goal alignment as retreat agenda items.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Churchill CSD Board Meeting 07/25/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Board members discussed inconsistencies and timing problems in the completed self‑evaluation form, agreed a retreat is needed to align board objectives with superintendent evaluation windows and student achievement data, and directed staff to schedule a retreat for after school starts.","taxTitle","CHURCHILL COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, School Districts, Nevada","taxId",76598,"location","Nevada","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6155433,"District describes bowed middle‑school gym floor; timeline depends on insurance and bidding",59,177000,236000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5479268-2f5bf49b9c341045c1e793d7ae443887&start=177&end=236","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5479268-2f5bf49b9c341045c1e793d7ae443887/thumbnail_177000.jpg","/articles/6155433/Nevada/District-describes-bowed-middleschool-gym-floor-timeline-depends-on-insurance-and-bidding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6155433-a02d7d3c3f070dde680224beecd083c0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770399008&Signature=ncAMIDc0AOeniItiOpzX45LfmWrslKFOgwTluOZL9i32mIjC7171RioTr8Xp~mj6baqooO~EfvuYL1ude7cIq1tYZwv5MfJMV7ppnjQ-OGyDBaQjvUW-Cmrveo3LO1PC5fzxUhiQ9X8Vb0wXdJIgL1eCLV0ZaU4GZQvx7PeJqErlxt~mc20~lmutAVB9PatX6p6uUiSgCBtinFjCMYCnRFRbPKZwX9QOK2pZpqBsW4zG7O3vqyvzB4icKYaOeVpByTM0kc1GTokXAFRjf1dHGfZAk~UvSCzSNqbsGNrnyBPDU-XFFqL4VWCptgFAX6Ufvb~K9BKqDF0EdvtAKQ1dng__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent Christopher Parsons told the board the middle school gym floor is badly warped in multiple places and poses a trip hazard. She said remediation teams from the insurer responded quickly, photographs document the damage, and the district has opened a claim but is “fresh into it” and has not received a timeline for repairs.

Parsons described visible conditions: “it is literally raised…in some spots,” with a section spanning about 20 feet where boards have separated and bowed into a U‑shape. She said school staff and administrators have been informed and that the building can still host some activities using other indoor spaces, but cautioned the affected gym side is unsafe for foot traffic.

Parsons told trustees the length of repair will depend on whether the insurance claim requires a formal bidding and contracting process; if so, the need to go to bid could substantially add to repair time. She said some services that had been remote in the prior year (student counseling) will be provided live this year through contracted providers, and she promised to update the board as soon as the district has a timeline from the insurer.

Discussion was limited to operational questions from trustees about teacher and parent notifications. No formal action or motion was taken; staff will continue to gather information and advise the board on next steps.

Ending: Parsons said she will keep the board updated when she learns more about repair timing from the insurance carrier and any procurement steps required.","Superintendent Parsons described severe warping across the middle school gym floor and said the district has opened an insurance claim; repairs may require bids and will add time, and the district will update trustees when it receives a timeline.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6155438,"Board approves new meal prices after Chartwells reports increased participation and summer meal surge",3248,1474000,4722000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5479268-2f5bf49b9c341045c1e793d7ae443887&start=1474&end=4722","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5479268-2f5bf49b9c341045c1e793d7ae443887/thumbnail_1474000.jpg","/articles/6155438/Nevada/Board-approves-new-meal-prices-after-Chartwells-reports-increased-participation-and-summer-meal-surge","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6155438-986a5145ee26a508cee829d87c123bcb/orig.mp4?Expires=1770399008&Signature=OXmrkDPgqugijbInR7W7s0ZrMezGH-Yu6GO7AqzQcIkf0G~-LidtXDTn7MGBnc-3PJ8JIRrGmv3UxTWfWpNs7ChtEEmdrAOoJ4aWDBp27nX~HOrs5IYMkaRolY7qSl2XAlW41QBp7xYRc891cCNkEO-nTZ2nyKEXOIi4KucPcNTKxRK2EJrrr191stHefrZaN8wC~u-HyTpP1m8zuWPtx1UCbQYmeTxmHl5O2ZshGiPwCKZSNh3Ges0oo6GdzOFlSKavgx89KmX9WeSA1cnmdLzUPL0FSDuSPE8UYh-3NqX7xMtXXD0hsMPIZGAmLlcf6lO8ULTa7I0nfExYOtHUaA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Amber Scholl, director of dining services for Chartwells K‑12, presented the food‑services quarterly report to the Churchill County School District Board of Trustees, highlighting increased participation, a substantial summer bulk‑meal distribution and planned cafeteria refreshes at the middle school and Northside.

Scholl said the district doubled lunch participation at the high school and middle school compared with last year and reported bulk distribution counts of more than 3,200 meals in a single day during peak weeks. She described planned changes for the school year including deli and smoothie stations, updated serving lines, stainless‑steel equipment, and marketing and outreach to increase Free and Reduced‑Price Meal (FRPM) applications. Scholl said the summer bulk boxes were funded through the Summer Food Service Program and that continued funding for 2025–26 had not been confirmed.

Board discussion centered on capacity, billing and program sustainability. Trustees asked how Chartwells would prevent oversized portions at a deli station; Scholl said she would staff the line with two cashiers and consider individually portioning deli items if needed. Interim comptroller Terry Laca and staff described steps to match student meal account numbers to student IDs to streamline point‑of‑sale operations.

After staff presented projected vendor costs and estimated federal reimbursement, Trustee Fadd moved — and Trustee Guerrero Gecce seconded — to set the 2025–26 prices at $2.00 for breakfast, $3.25 elementary lunch, $3.75 middle school lunch and $4.00 high school lunch. The board voted unanimously to approve those rates.

The superintendent and business staff told the board the district’s contracted vendor meal cost is about $4.24 per lunch and that USDA/State reimbursement for paid meals is likely to return roughly $0.42 per paid meal (estimates vary with final program participation and USDA rates). Staff estimated the district subsidy for the approved price structure could be about $43,000 annually before reimbursements, and less after expected USDA payments. Trustees discussed, but did not yet direct, whether capital funds could temporarily cover refresh costs if food‑services revenues are used to lower meal prices.

Ending: Amber Scholl said Chartwells will continue outreach to increase FRPM applications and that staff will monitor participation and costs early in the school year and report back to the board for any midyear adjustments.","Chartwells director Amber Scholl reported rising participation, summer bulk‑box distribution gains and planned cafeteria upgrades; the Board unanimously set 2025–26 meal prices at breakfast $2, elementary lunch $3.25, middle $3.75 and high school $4.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6155445,"Superintendent warns federal ‘‘Title’’ grants remain paused; district plans cuts and contingencies",614,685000,1299000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5479268-2f5bf49b9c341045c1e793d7ae443887&start=685&end=1299","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5479268-2f5bf49b9c341045c1e793d7ae443887/thumbnail_685000.jpg","/articles/6155445/Nevada/Superintendent-warns-federal-Title-grants-remain-paused-district-plans-cuts-and-contingencies","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6155445-1bc379613a009eb88846a3f2efa28f77/orig.mp4?Expires=1770399008&Signature=JsT9FnpKMFtpkyFq36ZvaWR2hJcF0XPE7anl8s3pmh1EgBQCeeEWtUKzf5EtcxfEV4muFXyWPcSB5Pqpq-xIupQZalU~t1VKonvLAqeTO4o87C47Ux2dmYJRlxfa5EzLDjbD7wTxi9ltBCqk4jKQiuqY8sCyvnu5jyBrMRmsVfEVr8qT~gNLPG5H1LqTmmMU9ZXtUpIco0Wf81MgHssMs2slZwDGEJbll6vJXieHt70aL5JGHTpKN7SGWYlawRAKmcxss5L73PKPlJSNkpZhQR0-afF4PT0EExR7BPolD3WCgoWYAb1OJ0hkV~AAGOZqHxHqMC5YinzGWbaoGFBRiw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent Christopher Parsons told the Churchill County School District Board of Trustees that the U.S. Department of Education has paused distribution of several components of federal Title grant funding and the district cannot rely on roughly $203,468.83 currently approved in the state’s allocations. Parsons said the district has sought clarification from federal and state officials and joined other Nevada districts in litigation seeking release of the funds.

The pause affects programs commonly funded through Title grants, including after‑school and support positions. The superintendent said the state has funded some parts — including a recent payment tied to 21st Century Community Learning Center funds — but that eligibility rules prevent the district from qualifying for some of the funds because of its existing Title I‑A allocations.

Why it matters: Parsons said the paused funds would have funded staff incentives and program support that target at‑risk students; without them the district will delay hiring two title‑funded support positions and scale back certain supplies and project‑based learning activities. He told the board the district is prioritizing services for students with immediate needs and will try to stretch existing local grant funds while avoiding cuts that would harm instruction.

Parsons described concrete steps the district has taken: asked the State of Nevada to apply a newly enacted recruitment/retention incentive (AB 398) to qualifying positions, held the two vacant title support jobs open, and reviewed all title‑funded contracts to prioritize obligations that are legally or contractually committed. He said staff are examining whether other nonfederal revenue streams (including AB 495 monies the district has used in the past) can temporarily cover essential items but cautioned those sources are finite.

The superintendent provided two figures the board asked about: $203,468.83 is the district’s current tab of approved Title funds that the state says it will not release at this time, and roughly $40,000 previously committed for new‑hire incentives that staff view as already obligated. Parsons said the district is coordinating with the Nevada Department of Education and the National Superintendents Association, and that Nevada is among approximately 23 states participating in litigation seeking release of the paused funds.

No board action was taken. Parsons said timelines remain uncertain, that the pause could last many months, and that staff will return to the board with updates and any decisions that would require policy or budget changes.

Ending: Parsons asked trustees to direct any questions to the superintendent’s office and promised to keep the board updated when the district receives new federal or state guidance.","Superintendent Parsons told the Churchill County School District board that several federal Title grants have been paused by the U.S. Department of Education, leaving the district facing about $203,469 in unguaranteed revenue and prompting staff to defer hires and rework budgets.","actionData","errors"]
