The Lyon County School District Board of Trustees were scheduled to begin the process on Tuesday to fill a vacancy on the board following the resignation to District 6 Trustee Bridget Peterson.
Peterson resigned from the board effective Sept. 1. She did not respond to requests seeking comment and the district’s communication’s director said the district was unable to provide Peterson’s resignation letter. The Board memo for the Sept. 23 meeting said Peterson provided a resignation notice effective Sept. 1, but there was not a copy of that notice included in the agenda packet.
Peterson has served on the board for 11 years. She was appointed to the board in March of 2014 after the resignation of Theo McCormick, then she was re-elected in 2014, 2018 and 2022.
School board policies and Nevada Revised Statutes allow the remaining trustees to appoint another person who lives in District 6 to fill the vacancy until the next election.
