LCSD Board Workshop 3/10/26

The Lyon County School District Board workshop held on March 10, 2026, focused primarily on reviewing and setting measurable goals for the district's performance plan for the 2025-2026 school year. Key procurement-related discussions included the evaluation of work-based learning programs, implementation of assessment tools such as MAP and I Ready, and the use of industry-recognized credentials like the NCRC and ASVAB to support student career readiness. The board deliberated on reducing the number of district goals from eight to three main goals: chronic absenteeism reduction, maintaining or exceeding median percentile growth on MAP assessments for high school students, and growth in I Ready assessments for K-8 students. They also discussed the potential inclusion of ACT WorkKeys as a goal, with recognition that it is not yet part of the Nevada State Performance Framework. The board emphasized allowing individual schools autonomy to set tailored goals aligned with district objectives. No direct contract awards or budget allocations were made during this meeting, but future budget discussions and policy readings were noted as upcoming agenda items. The board also planned to present the finalized district performance plan and related goals to the Nevada Department of Education.
