Board approves series of HR and Title IX policy revisions; calendar policy sent back for revision
The Lyon County School District Board voted on a series of personnel and policy items on April 22, approving first readings for revised human-resources and Title IX policies and accepting multiple policies on second readings; the board removed Policy ICA (development of the master calendar) for additional revision.

Executive Director of Human Resources Billie Joe Hogan presented a set of policy changes recommended by the district’s risk‑management and legal partners. The items included revisions to policy AB (nondiscrimination under Title IX), GABE (posting of position openings), GDE (separation of licensed personnel), GDG (admonition of licensed personnel) and GZ (definition of terms). Trustees approved first‑reading revisions for each of those policies; each motion passed unanimously.

On a block vote, the board accepted other policy revisions (GDBA, GDBB, GDC, GDD) and removed item 24(a), Policy ICA (development of the master calendar), for additional revision. Trustee Peterson proposed amended language to make the calendar policy explicitly open to all Lyon County bargaining units rather than naming a single association; trustees also asked staff to move a clarifying sentence about second-year calendars (that the second year may be subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances) into the main paragraph. Trustees voted unanimously to bring a revised ICA back for third reading.

Trustees did not request additional changes to the other policies and approved them as presented. Several trustees asked staff to provide statutory citations and a referenced NRS definition document that clarifies statutory terms used in new separation/dismissal language.
