During the recent Churchill County School District Board meeting, a significant development was announced regarding the search for a new comptroller. After an extensive search that included considerable time and resources dedicated to advertising the position, the district has successfully appointed Amanda Hammond, a local resident from Fallon, to fill this crucial role.

The search for a comptroller had proven challenging, with the district struggling to find candidates with the necessary skills and willingness to work within the public school system. Initially, the search seemed bleak, but the efforts paid off when three applicants were interviewed, leading to Hammond's selection.

Hammond, who previously served as an art teacher, expressed her dedication to the district during the interview process. Her commitment to her students was evident, as she voiced concerns about leaving them behind, showcasing her understanding of the educational mission. This connection to the community and her insight into the financial aspects of education were key factors in her appointment.

The board emphasized the importance of having the right person in the comptroller position, as it plays a vital role in supporting the educational goals of the district. With Hammond's background and dedication, the board is optimistic about the positive impact she will have on the financial management of the school district.

As the district moves forward with this new leadership, the community can expect a continued focus on enhancing educational outcomes for students, supported by sound financial practices.
