LCSD Board Meeting 4/28/26

The Lyon County School District Board of Trustees held a meeting on April 28, 2026, focusing on several procurement and budget-related matters. Key discussions included approval of guaranteed maximum prices (GMP) for capital improvement projects such as the Fernley High School culinary and commons area renovation ($4,088,629) and the Dayton High School single point of entry project ($660,607 including contingency). The board unanimously approved Pell Construction as the construction manager at risk (CMAR) for the Yerington High School and Silver Stage High School single point entry projects following a competitive RFP and interview process. Additionally, the board approved a $550,803.96 contract for audio enhancement system upgrades at Yerington schools, emphasizing the need for modernized safety communication equipment. Policy revisions were also addressed, including updates to the Information Technology policy to incorporate AI and cybersecurity guidelines and fundraising policy revisions to standardize and audit fundraising activities across the district. The board designated several critical labor shortage positions to enable hiring of retired employees to address staffing challenges. Future agenda items include budget and capital improvement plan presentations and a review of policies related to reporting violence towards students. Public comments highlighted concerns about student safety and administrative accountability, but no direct procurement actions arose from these comments.
