Board members discussed proposed language additions to policy GL (staff complaints) intended to clarify the administrative routing of complaints and to prevent individuals from conducting their own investigations. Billy Joe Hogan (district counsel/staff) explained that existing procedures already route complaints to the appropriate administrator unless the complaint concerns that administrator, in which case the complaint is routed upward.

Trustee Hendricks moved and a colleague seconded the motion to approve the three policies as presented. Trustees voted 7–0 to adopt the revisions. The board did not remove any policy from the bundle for separate consideration at the Aug. 26 meeting.

Superintendent Tim Logan said the district will present policy EDBB (cell phone/electronic devices) at the Sept. 23 meeting; the board instructed staff that K–8 students should not have electronic devices out during the school day under the current policy, and that secondary students may use devices during noninstructional time under the existing language.

The board’s action at the Aug. 26 meeting finalizes the specific JG/KL/GL text changes that were presented as a second reading; staff said they will post or distribute the revised policy language according to normal district practice.","The board approved second-and-final-reading revisions to district policies JG (student discipline), KL and GL after a brief discussion and a suggested language addition concerning staff complaints; the vote was unanimous.",{"_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},6456284,"Dayton-area principals report gains on attendance, student programs and credentialing",1980,3200000,5180000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5682068-8515d47afdc229097caedf673eea61ac&start=3200&end=5180","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5682068-8515d47afdc229097caedf673eea61ac/thumbnail_3200000.jpg","/articles/6456284/Nevada/Dayton-area-principals-report-gains-on-attendance-student-programs-and-credentialing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6456284-6eb77260bfdba197f9144f5e9db68599/orig.mp4?Expires=1770599245&Signature=kcMzTKQOEIwvv5cmq0KE~1JnnhnoR7-g5nlZOjevi8DspnW8CKQal0VGCAMYgNdLnaHzF3yuuvXlfebFSckw1CDfAv-P~oQHJmPJp5V2XhJIeMPWU0FfSuUeRtHqf4TFIcA6wz4ahD~fHVOulWMQ1wvQ8wecH6HyDYIQMB0GdSq~mWbKpuW7vnqA6on1At~CA4E8tYEvquopuXv6-bJ-IJxN6VLe1C5qr5lKfu2K1QbcYrtWHWDJ~z2mnn0iwWcRaqYJRjh5~giahHYlqc8nbmUQbFamluShA45VsOFb7YnKiACLwAMkCt7DtUuY-Mg1nPXTI4jiuBmJVb~XFrjk-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Principals from Dayton-area schools presented school-by-school summaries and goals to the Lyon County School District board on Aug. 26, highlighting attendance improvements, summer enrichment activities and increases in career- and technical-education outcomes.

Dayton Elementary Principal Chase Woodford said the school reduced chronic absenteeism from 23.9 percent to 17 percent last year and noted recognition by the Nevada MTSS project at the diamond level. Woodford said Dayton Elementary aims to raise the share of students meeting growth benchmarks on I-Ready and to expand work-based learning opportunities by 10 percent.

Riverview Principal Rachel Hansen reported mixed assessment results: spring I-Ready showed growth (from 32 percent to 43 percent proficiency in one metric over five months), but the school’s reading proficiency on MAP assessments declined slightly year to year, which staff attributed in part to testing overload late in the year. Hansen listed extensive family-engagement events last year (including a back-to-school barbecue with more than 400 attendees, STEM nights and a farmer’s market) and said the school maintained platinum MTSS recognition.

Sutro Principal Corinne Burns said the school did not meet its goal to reduce chronic absenteeism but expanded summer Camp Invention participation and runs a weekly Friday club program; staff adjusted master schedules to create common prep time and PLC collaboration. Burns said 45 percent of students met MAP reading growth and 47 percent met MAP math growth in the last cycle.

Dayton Intermediate Principal Kevin Krancheck reported that middle-school chronic absenteeism fell from about 35 percent to 27 percent last year after enhanced outreach (including home visits and coordinator follow-up). He said the school will again offer Spanish I for high-school credit at the middle-school level to support students pursuing algebra and jump-start pathways.

Dayton High Principal Julie Baumgartner listed student achievements for the class of 2025 — approximately $814,269 in scholarships, 38 students in the WNC Jump Start program (19 earning an AA or AS), increased CTE diploma seals (44 this year, up from 13) — and said the school passed Cognia accreditation above average and its culinary program earned national accreditation from the American Culinary Federation.

Board members praised principals for community engagement, improved attendance, growth on select assessments and expanded work-based learning and CTE pathways. No board action was required on the presentations.","Principals from Dayton Elementary, Riverview, Sutro, Dayton Intermediate and Dayton High reported fall goals, recent gains in attendance and proficiency targets, community engagement events, camp and CTE accomplishments; several schools noted improvements in chronic absenteeism and work-based learning.",{"_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},6456288,"Board approves single-point-of-entry and culinary-lab projects for summer 2026",539,2586000,3125000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5682068-8515d47afdc229097caedf673eea61ac&start=2586&end=3125","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5682068-8515d47afdc229097caedf673eea61ac/thumbnail_2586000.jpg","/articles/6456288/Nevada/Board-approves-single-point-of-entry-and-culinary-lab-projects-for-summer-2026","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6456288-0a9fab667ed5912e61c7b5e26d5b4f39/orig.mp4?Expires=1770599245&Signature=kggkMwKgmRJVxOm~XYl80AK744wzKYqXoKqA1bGp6A2Dca1ajBA4UmHRnucUxkqF4jbgdVJtlCRhf8vkL~bsLcL6J8IsRLK9B20j55wFKENvAcyShin5bHHMtMwPzUL-o8XQ1~KcBKttJffcw25gvJmJvBw-~NUFlwZNHSPfh7UwFvQm6dAri4UcPMkm~8RJfhWeBBIVh7b3EH2YDa3AH87NCwdJier2kql9xiJuGcBVXKwNaGzckRyYXQM0-dUVncyyvp1cGOifwhjGnnV-baog2QfeS~oaVDDAE68JKhW0nvpRzUcnlMAljJ0-O5JOqiGRq09evzc08kIoKHwq1Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lyon County School District board voted unanimously Aug. 26 to let staff proceed with a group of single-point-of-entry security upgrades across the district and renovations to the Fernley High School culinary laboratory, projects scheduled for summer 2026.

Executive Director of Operations Harmon Banes and maintenance supervisor Kirk McKellar presented the plan, which proposes different procurement approaches by site. For Fernley High School and Dayton High School, staff recommended hiring construction managers at risk (CMARs) because those are the largest projects and would allow guarantees such as a guaranteed maximum price and contractor involvement during design. For Silverstage High School and Yerington High School, staff recommended separate general contractors — one for general construction and a separate contractor specializing in storefronts and secure doors. Silverland Middle School was described as a smaller, more straightforward project and would be procured accordingly.

Banes told trustees that a legislative change limits counties under 100,000 population to two CMAR contracts per year, and that rule requires assigning each CMAR to a specific site rather than using one CMAR districtwide. He said the approach balances cost and quality and avoids past problems where a lowest general-contractor bid led to poor specialty work.

Trustee Hendricks moved that the board approve proceeding with the single-point-of-entry and Fernley High culinary projects for summer 2026; Trustee Bull seconded. The motion passed 7–0.

District staff said they will return with guaranteed maximum prices for the CMAR projects and with lowest-bid results for the general-contractor work. Banes warned the board the district’s project-management workload will increase next summer — two CMARs plus several general-contractor contracts — and urged trustees to consider that timeline when approving additional projects.

The board did not adopt construction contracts at the Aug. 26 meeting; the approval allows staff and architects to continue design and procurement work ahead of next summer’s construction season.","Trustees authorized staff to proceed with single-point-of-entry security upgrades at several schools and renovations to Fernley High School’s culinary lab; staff recommended a mix of construction-manager-at-risk and general-contractor approaches.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6456294,"Lyon County School District to notify Debt Management Commission of up to $30 million in bonds",310,2179000,2489000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5682068-8515d47afdc229097caedf673eea61ac&start=2179&end=2489","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5682068-8515d47afdc229097caedf673eea61ac/thumbnail_2179000.jpg","/articles/6456294/Nevada/Lyon-County-School-District-to-notify-Debt-Management-Commission-of-up-to-30-million-in-bonds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6456294-d57929df42adfff4ba622607c64c977b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770599245&Signature=QLt44p0-6OLTN~0icjtWR~ErlisGN9ECEvULo4C37mKzhJV2FkMdxyb0lCnaefbskIBbZ9jdmnUEN4VOTsF-P1ox5v~~k7wpnRxsNda2R7ROa3zpa8PEENRvlHb9L7ybBLvMJv5zTqdWhNp7OvKrVXuZpQa~dwdIVLacWuvglIup8GDnwcGUEyqS7c9Fk-vQ25c00yNwVzRh0gdTJkxlCN7AW-8wlG7gir0DUgDpG4RE6vo3E95O2ej35kd0r5L6gNGQgzVgCjzCvB2uYrKlguPSM-2LC~u~nxLeAaTboLmf3ciJcrFBt1qhme1EIixDdZjC8ZuxEiq4CtUlMAklvw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lyon County School District board on Aug. 26 approved a resolution directing district staff to notify the Lyon County Debt Management Commission of a proposed issuance of up to $30,000,000 in general-obligation bonds to fund school improvement projects.

The board’s action was the first step in a multi-stage financing plan. Superintendent Tim Logan and Executive Director of Operations Harmon Banes presented the proposal and introduced Marty Johnson of JNA Consulting Group, who described the district’s ability to repay the debt without increasing the tax rate.

Johnson told trustees the district met two statutory tests required for so-called rollover bonds: projected revenue sufficient to repay outstanding and proposed bonds and a debt-service reserve at least 50 percent of the following year’s debt service. He said the Department of Taxation’s estimate for fiscal 2026 of about $14,000,000 (based on the district’s 58.67¢ debt rate) supports repayment of the current outstanding bonds plus the new $30 million issuance, and that the district currently maintains roughly $13–$14 million in its debt service fund (well above the statutory minimum of about $7 million).

Banding the package into two issuances, district staff said, preserves future bonding capacity for a larger master facilities plan revision expected in 2028; the plan anticipates approximately $70–$80 million of additional capacity at that time. Board members asked whether the proposed $30 million would affect that later capacity and were told the structure is intended to preserve future capacity.

Trustee Peterson made the motion to approve the resolution; Trustee Darren Farr seconded. The motion passed unanimously, recorded as 7–0.

Next steps identified by staff: the district will present the debt management notice to the local Debt Management Commission in September and return to the board in September with a bond resolution to approve the first series (expected to be $15,000,000). No bonds will be sold until after those subsequent approvals.

The board’s vote does not itself issue bonds; it authorizes staff to begin the statutory notification and approval process required by state law.

The district did not specify a final project list or guaranteed maximum prices at the Aug. 26 meeting; staff said those details will be returned to the board with the bond-resolution packet in September.","Trustees approved a resolution directing staff to notify the Lyon County Debt Management Commission of the district’s plan to issue up to $30 million in general obligation bonds in one or more series; board vote was unanimous.","actionData","errors"]
