Carson City School Board 11/10/2026

The Carson City School District Board of Trustees met on November 10, 2026, for a workshop and regular meeting. The workshop focused on future-ready education and strategic planning, including changing workforce needs, durable skills, career pathways, and professional learning communities (PLCs). Staff described PLC training and stipends as largely grant-funded; trustees requested participation and outcome data, along with a comparison of PLC costs over time, before future calendar decisions. No bids or contract awards were considered. The board also heard updates on school performance and graduation rates and recognized winners of its essay contest, which awarded prizes of $30, $50, and $100 by placement.

The board unanimously approved online APEX health curriculum materials for grades 7–12 and three dual-credit courses offered with Western Nevada College: Introduction to Special Education, Medical Terminology, and Basic Nursing Skills. Staff said students in the medical courses would pay their own tuition and fees, cited as $110 per course; trustees discussed clarifying the separate interlocal agreement’s district-paid Jumpstart/concurrent-enrollment terms, which expire June 30, 2027, and requested further review of program funding. The board also unanimously approved a revised controversial-issues policy. Proposed CTE policy and regulation revisions and revised internet-safety and technology-use documents were discussed as first readings, with edits requested; these were not final adoption actions.
