The project, D'Arieta said, grew from a single-track replacement need into a broader stadium upgrade. \"The total cost of the project is probably gonna be about $4,000,000,\" he said. He told the board the booster club plans to lead most of the fundraising and expects to use advertising on the scoreboard and other naming opportunities to create a maintenance fund so the district will not be asked to cover future resurfacing costs.

The boosters described the planned maintenance approach as a key element: \"the video board is about...we can do advertisement for businesses, local donors, and that money can then go into an account,\" D'Arieta said, explaining the long-term fund would help pay for resurfacing 10–12 years from now.

Superintendent Anderson said the district administration has begun discussing the project with the boosters and other local partners and praised the community-led effort. Anderson told the board that seeing community members step forward to address campus facility needs made a strong impression: \"the school looks incredible...you just saw a problem...let's do something about that,\" he said, describing his reaction when he first saw the scope of the proposals.

Booster leaders said the facility would serve more than Elko High athletes: senior fitness groups, Special Olympics and regional events have used the site in the past. They argued hosting regional 1A–3A track, soccer and football championships would bring hotel and restaurant revenue to town while benefiting students and the wider community.

D'Arieta said booster fundraising may combine private donors, grant matching and community sponsorship; no formal funding commitments from the district, county or city were made at the meeting. He said the club will coordinate with district facilities staff and seek possible city or county support as the plan matures.

Board members offered verbal support during the informational presentation and thanked the booster club for coordinating with school administration and community partners. No formal district funding decision or vote on the project was taken at this meeting.

The boosters indicated they will return to the board with updates as fundraising and design work progress.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","ECSD Board Meeting 9/16/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Drew D'Arieta, president of the Elko High School Athletics Booster Club, told the Elko County School District Board of Trustees that the boosters are pursuing a roughly $4,000,000 project to replace the Elko High track and install a new turf field, LED stadium lights, a video scoreboard and upgraded bleachers.","taxTitle","ELKO COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, School Districts, Nevada","taxId",13427,"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},6467630,"Board approves student-transportation policy revisions, Indian policies and routine payments",235,3605000,3840000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5785789-cb9738b12fe53824e5b30c5f2f13fd1e&start=3605&end=3840","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5785789-cb9738b12fe53824e5b30c5f2f13fd1e/thumbnail_3605000.jpg","/articles/6467630/Nevada/Board-approves-student-transportation-policy-revisions-Indian-policies-and-routine-payments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467630-e3ae228dceee49adacae173d4963dcd7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770952353&Signature=bodAvJhgyHUwoN7JYGxmG5TTv4kQ8PazANGnDlWIplVkiPH652VNhjSuQXnVtlLNex3na6b4LN7wfAGPsHyXJ~tLdTqf0batO0fkc2gyXLyz~Ll4nmFZGioAGbvqhko7tEMnmwyFQNHKSntt6qPfWS9AWla1KS~wZtfxEz~UDR7etA3IsF2fG1AG9bLmUz4l1hI9nKYxsDJALb3sL1XhH-U-sRUy5FVpRPM1SCvMwILYZbKh4b3C6lxKvW4XNG6C1ZkSpJ0gqFFeI75Afqlqyg1Jb1HJIId9hSlp3ZWOtrXZmZCnbvBZBYWTaN0qw7KZY2xDTvILriKhj90O55jh~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Elko County School District Board of Trustees approved a set of administrative items and routine payments, including revisions to student-transportation and student-welfare policy language and the district's Indian policies and procedures used for federal impact aid applications.

Trustee Tristy Dastrop moved to approve proposed revisions to policy JGDB and policy JGD, which address student welfare and student transportation safety programs. Staff told the board the language retained the phrase \"exit doors\" to match Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) and noted a separate suggested edit to align evacuation language across both policies. The motion to approve both policies passed; the board did not record a roll-call tally in the public transcript.

The board also approved the district's updated Indian policies and procedures (IPP) for impact aid. Miss Turnhue,identified in the meeting as the director of elementary education, said the revised IPP incorporated formatting and language changes, doubled the feedback period for tribal partners, and was shared with tribal communities on Aug. 21; she reported that no formal comments had been received to date. A motion to approve the IPP and authorize the superintendent to represent the district on the application passed.

The consent agenda was approved by motion. Later the board approved accounts payable items after separating invoices into two documents for consideration. During the accounts-payable discussion a board member asked about multiple entries described as \"grease trap\" services; one participant said the tabulation was \"equivalent of, like, 25 k,\" and board discussion referenced specific vendor amounts (for example, $2,700 for Wendover sites versus $1,700 for other sites) without further clarification in the transcript. The board approved the payments; one board member disclosed a family employment relationship with a vendor (Wellsboro Electric) but voted.

A separate motion to approve a payment to Lone Wolf passed after one board member disclosed employment with Lone Wolf and abstained from that vote. The abstention was recorded in the meeting transcript.

All actions above were approved by majority vote as recorded in the meeting; the public transcript did not include full roll-call tallies for each vote.","At the meeting the Elko County School District Board approved revisions to policies JGDB and JGD (student welfare and transportation), approved updated Indian policies and procedures for impact aid, and approved the consent agenda and accounts payable; a lone-wolf vendor payment passed with one board abstention disclosed.",{"_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},6467635,"Home Depot, Kinross and Komatsu help plant trees, repaint and repair playgrounds at Sage and Mound Valley schools",524,881000,1405000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5785789-cb9738b12fe53824e5b30c5f2f13fd1e&start=881&end=1405","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5785789-cb9738b12fe53824e5b30c5f2f13fd1e/thumbnail_881000.jpg","/articles/6467635/Nevada/Home-Depot-Kinross-and-Komatsu-help-plant-trees-repaint-and-repair-playgrounds-at-Sage-and-Mound-Valley-schools","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467635-0f9e01fae6014a8df208b7e106b222cc/orig.mp4?Expires=1770952353&Signature=JmieRS5ZNy7fhiSt3AQ~dAbOk6CG3Sg8InJXVuERuYECFqZeMS1DetQqe8IbmH~5fW3bO0mvSQBQAqKOQ0~f5mqABi5u~t9zWPuaTXzRaEWsUsJuK0l4r6MyCHgjptNeTUL0MWR9IhRBALX9DQl-OH2v8gNB7B1WVx1uyUjxfeQZ28wA2Ziw-CPJ0l3-9-5L9x~temCaMH4r8-cFgllAfoiK5VLQocrpj6493-Zt8dPM7ghWc5MKTRIMGdYazfeDa2K0UcPiuZdORdt~dOYVswXOnAQgJdDT9WechB1G5LHNuOH0hs~X-Wyj-mIJ8~i1LzAqXh8VSFsopzXG7OgrCA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jessica Harris, principal for Sage and Mound Valley campuses, told the board the schools received multiple community-supported improvements this summer: 12 trees and flowers planted at Sage Elementary and a full repaint and playground resurfacing at Mound Valley Elementary.

\"Home Depot and Ruby Rose Landscaping...donated all of their time, equipment, and all of the beautiful trees and flowers, and we planted 12 trees around our campus,\" Harris said, explaining the projects were initiated by community volunteers who approached school staff.

Todd Lugan, frontline supervisor at Kinross Nevada, described organizing volunteer crews from the mine site to wire-wheel and repaint playground equipment, replace siding, and repair the flagpole. He said volunteers donated time, materials and money and that the group completed major work in a multi-day effort.

Caleb Heinrich, operations manager and community captain at the Elko Home Depot, said the store uses corporate grant programs to partner with nonprofits and reported Home Depot has secured a little over $50,000 in grants in the year to date. \"This year, we've done 6 grant projects, so far. A little over $50,000 in grants from Home Depot,\" Heinrich said.

Scott Manoukian, speaking for Komatsu, said Komatsu donated the flagpole and was pleased to assist: \"we were more than overjoyed to help, with the flag.\"

Harris and board members thanked the companies and volunteers for the work. The presentation was informational; no district action was required or taken at the meeting.

Board members and the superintendent praised the partnerships as examples of community problem-solving and noted such efforts help the district concentrate resources where they are most needed.","Principals and company representatives told the board about volunteer-led projects: Home Depot and Ruby Rose Landscaping helped plant 12 trees and donated flowers at Sage Elementary, while Kinross, Komatsu and Home Depot repainted and repaired playground equipment and donated a flag at Mound Valley Elementary.","actionData","errors"]
