Trustee Park said district staff (including Superintendent Tim Logan and others) will prepare proposals and that future board action will be required because implementing the program will involve district funding.

Trustees noted potential program benefits: college credit for qualified students, partial satisfaction of PE credits at the high school level and possible rank advantages for students entering military service. Several trustees praised the program’s potential for discipline, STEM alignment (cybersecurity and related offerings were mentioned) and student opportunity.

Board members asked the administration to bring forward cost estimates and clarify any guarantees from the military before the district commits funds.

Superintendent Tim Logan (and staff) listed programs in use: Hazel Health (virtual mental‑health access planned for next year with parent permission), Character Strong at the middle and high school levels, Compass and Navigate360 at elementary levels, Ready Rosie for pre‑K and district safe‑school professionals present in all schools. The district said it will pilot Hazel Health this summer and expand in‑school access next year with parental consent.

Trustees pressed for consistent implementation of restorative discipline and asked staff to revisit cell‑phone policy options used in other districts to remove the burden from teachers acting as “phone police.” Staff described chronic absenteeism definitions used by the state and district (elementary chronic absenteeism triggers at 18 absences per year) and said chronic absenteeism is already a district priority (DPP goal).

A sustained portion of the discussion centered on low reading and math scores, assessment fatigue, curriculum fidelity and proposals to incentivize student performance. Trustees debated whether to tie growth on computer‑adaptive assessments (MAP Growth, Smarter Balanced) to grading policies to motivate students, but staff cautioned that adaptive assessments change question difficulty based on responses and therefore may not align cleanly with a single grade; staff recommended careful analysis of standards versus assessment content before attaching high‑stakes weight to adaptive tests. The district said it is moving toward MAPs adoption and emphasized that these assessments are designed to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses rather than serve as a single summative grade.

No board votes were taken. Trustees asked staff to continue work on implementing restorative discipline consistently across sites, research cell‑phone policies used elsewhere and return recommendations for policy changes and grading alternatives where appropriate.","Superintendent and trustees reviewed district mental‑health supports (including Hazel Health), plans to strengthen restorative discipline and debated whether standardized formative assessments should be tied to grades to improve student accountability and motivation.",{"_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},6530321,"Trustees raise life‑skills, home economics and arts as priorities amid staffing limits",372,665340,1038000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3670887-9dfb3988742cb3e99ac7646871445f69&start=665&end=1038","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3670887-9dfb3988742cb3e99ac7646871445f69/thumbnail_665340.jpg","/articles/6530321/Nevada/Trustees-raise-lifeskills-home-economics-and-arts-as-priorities-amid-staffing-limits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6530321-ade043d7ed25a97029931c70429a5e10/orig.mp4?Expires=1770928936&Signature=URKKCa1CFY4YOSIl5oozvrG26iejQ19ifgtdvF0vFejHA0JaaA0lGv2WiO8b5Om5~vH~5rRQ4VzMFoFzmukHL1pmc~e09u25iTIXRFQOlCCgL2lV42G34vCLi8cv31pIcgtzrmUlDLmRKJK-IRKzk4-jPmSCS8AyWkqD2yUNnzVwH4dFCajI~Ccvw~~OPEFaNaqxQGv7ULInYPI8gbckil1bPLhFyDlfZDU6W~B6IO-HFcaOrW9CH2jMjQVo8I-bcExzFSZTvncnjc~3dMLC3YgKe3QdbeGbyiJRhywOvICesDCaZpxLUlLbXvKWklEdeMaANdQU4z2iD1ekM8b7vw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustees and district staff discussed returning or expanding life‑skills courses (home economics, cooking, budgeting, childcare), performing and visual arts, and elementary music and PE, while noting the programs’ availability depends on site staffing and funding allocations.

The district said positions for art, music and performing arts are determined at the site level and that some elementary schools already have music or PE teachers. Trustees argued for broadening life‑skills instruction—cooking, sewing, budgeting and child care—because they believe those classes can prepare students for adulthood and change long‑term behaviors. Staff noted that some of those elements will be addressed through the middle‑school CTE/career‑exploration rollout.

Trustees and staff identified retention and behavior as constraints: performing‑arts teachers sometimes face classroom behavior challenges that lead them to leave; smaller schools may lack staffing to support full class offerings and instead run clubs. The district said drama or performing arts exist as full classes at larger high schools and as clubs at smaller sites, and that middle schools often run clubs rather than full courses.

No formal action was taken. Trustees asked staff to identify how life‑skills and arts offerings could be expanded, what funding would be required and where staffing gaps exist so the board can consider targeted support.","Board members urged reinstating life‑skills and arts programs—home economics, music, drama and visual arts—while administrators said program choices are site decisions driven by personnel and funding.",{"_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},6530326,"Board hears plan to expand CTE and trade programs; staffing and startup costs cited as constraints",182,416675,599000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3670887-9dfb3988742cb3e99ac7646871445f69&start=416&end=599","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3670887-9dfb3988742cb3e99ac7646871445f69/thumbnail_416675.jpg","/articles/6530326/Nevada/Board-hears-plan-to-expand-CTE-and-trade-programs-staffing-and-startup-costs-cited-as-constraints","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6530326-56a99cd58d501af003b61aedd37207e4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770928936&Signature=OHoidOH4ED4qEQiQd6IAt3jC9-GMt3d8l0V0lh0IcPVqhZVMFnqiSjVq1ECMVFJL5xxKu69RbWre6533zJqEGRoYHrx98McZ4HkEle~QzTmDfpKupjTj4P1AoiJfFpBFIqv0SwJYuVNjLBOU-EM05W1cwpBkYfRrckOUl04TmyhX0kIk0s8ZansBdg-rUSQLASQ-JLCZZgmuITmrlGhRQ~zhTDnWXvL~VfnyEsiIkZ20c6c4WNb3azARxQMxokFPffiPBmvCB~k-jV-PhL2WvKcwh0ZI2DLS37Oe3l5sK6Kz59wL~q6FfTuw0CBadK7fCD1vU4i0pOdwyVZ7o9hxxA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustees and district staff reviewed planned expansion of career and technical education (CTE) offerings at middle and high schools, including new middle‑school CTE standards, grant-funded pilots and staffing challenges for trade classes.

The district reported participation in a consortium grant that involved Lyon County, Carson City and Clark County to rewrite middle‑school CTE standards. Staff said three middle‑school teachers spent significant time on standards rewriting and that the district plans to present the revised standards framed as “career exploration” to avoid triggering Perkins indicators that apply to high‑school CTE accountability.

CTE offerings cited for expansion included culinary arts, welding, auto mechanics, construction, personal finance and a “woodshop in a box” model. District staff and trustees noted that some programs require large initial outlays: a woodshop‑in‑a‑box pilot was estimated at roughly $40,000 just to start, not including consumable materials. Trustees praised the CTE specialist, Nicole Taylor, for work to secure grants and implement programs.

Trustees emphasized a persistent staffing challenge: several speakers said it is difficult to recruit and retain qualified trade instructors because experienced tradespeople often earn more in the private sector than in teaching. Trustees pointed to existing strong programs and named individual teachers (for example, a long‑time welding teacher at one high school) who carry heavy loads and have waitlists for classes.

The board discussed the need for space, equipment and sustainable funding to expand offerings and acknowledged that even if the district funds programs, recruiting qualified instructors who meet job requirements will be necessary. No formal motions were made; staff were asked to continue pursuing grant opportunities and to return implementation and cost estimates for board consideration.","Trustees discussed a district push to broaden career and technical education (CTE) offerings at middle and high schools, including new middle‑school standards, high startup costs for some kits, and difficulty recruiting qualified trade instructors.",{"_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},6530333,"Lyon County trustees discuss after-school tutoring, transport barriers and Boys & Girls Club partnerships",455,23295,479000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3670887-9dfb3988742cb3e99ac7646871445f69&start=23&end=479","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3670887-9dfb3988742cb3e99ac7646871445f69/thumbnail_23295.jpg","/articles/6530333/Nevada/Lyon-County-trustees-discuss-after-school-tutoring-transport-barriers-and-Boys-Girls-Club-partnerships","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6530333-d764768854ede0c393d8f44f689e5f3b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770928936&Signature=mx2X1ur-9KPH4RM8unqJ7JYrsmUOszNWLmH72a-8K3cEcN1WERKuW~KyvfKxIiMHNf0eQMQPlzU2VCjiOqoNrVzPBwqerm1DIabxSwZGPuAvZxO3RTlEJZ288LDo8cDUBVcenG2cefQgJIEhEC-oj0X1K8oGc1-sKAKSRpOnOEw-MeZ7z1r3Db~fWnjmkdLgCbCGMin7X0JW0rpiuzJb6Di8d9BvQsJ-~ngfYPv-5VD9Ana9WxkcQNgbZPvGqjoYY~4UM19U5tDT3IWzQO928HVYdH1yeL~r1pdh0qtHTaiQOQwb3OkcnVRS9kXDSv2bQ~zB0SuVCB7EhmHNxgSfOw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustees of the Lyon County School District and district staff discussed options to expand after‑school tutoring and enrichment, focusing on supervision, transportation and pay for staff who run programs.

Board members and administrators said peer tutoring and school‑based tutoring have existed in cycles, but sustaining reliable programs is constrained by bus capacity and staff time. District leaders reported ongoing conversations with local Boys & Girls Club operators about transporting students from schools to club sites after programs end to reduce the district’s bus burden.

The discussion began with trustees noting examples of established peer‑tutoring models, including programs used when a principal ran the site-level effort and when high‑school students tutored younger students under staff supervision. District staff said the EDU 112 (a WNC credit used in the district’s jump-start pathway) places college students or paraeducators in classrooms for a semester of on-site hours, which can provide one‑to‑one support and classroom experience for potential future teachers.

Trustees and staff identified the main barriers to expanding after‑school offerings: transportation cost (the district currently runs after‑school buses only for Silver Springs because of expense), limited staff availability because after‑school work typically is not in teacher contracts, and low hourly stipends for staff who might supervise programs (trustees discussed a prevailing rate of about $25–$26 per hour). Staff said these constraints explain why some programs “come and go.”

District representatives described talks with Mike Webb and other leaders at the Boys & Girls Club about coordinating pick‑ups. The district said the 21st Century program must run at schools for the first hour after school and then the district and the Boys & Girls Club have been discussing transporting students to club facilities, but both partners face similar staffing and financial limits across more remote communities.

Trustees suggested potential approaches, including pursuing targeted funding to support bus runs or stipends, leveraging EDU 112 placements and community partnerships to provide supervised after‑school enrichment, or piloting expanded transportation in one location before scaling. The board did not take formal action but asked staff to continue discussions and to bring options that include cost estimates and logistics to a future meeting.

The board also noted successful site examples where schools use the Boys & Girls Club van to transport students from campus to the club site and recommended exploring those localized models districtwide where feasible.","Board members and district staff reviewed recurring after-school tutoring programs, transportation and staffing challenges, and ongoing talks with the Boys & Girls Club to expand drop-off options for participating students.","actionData","errors"]
