The Lyon County School District Board of Trustees voted on Sept. 23 to begin the process to fill
the vacant District 6 seat created by the resignation of Trustee Bridget Peterson.
Peterson submitted her resignation effective Sept. 1. 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.
The action by the Trustees allows the district to begin advertising for applications for the
position. State law requires the district to advertise the position in the newspaper for two weeks.
The notice and the information for how to apply is also posted on the district’s website at
lyoncsd.org.
The Board will interview candidates and choose a person to fill the seat at its next meeting on
Oct. 28. Under the advice of the district’s legal counsel, the Trustees also voted to move that
meeting to Sutro Elementary School, which is the only school located in District 6.
The person chosen to fill the seat will serve until the next election and that seat will be on the
ballot for the 2026 general election.
Applicants for the position must live within District 6, which represents a northwest portion of
Dayton and must be a qualified elector, eligible to vote.
