After interviewing five applicants for the position at their Oct. 28 meeting, the Lyon County School District Board of Trustees selected Kallie Day to fill the vacant District 6 Board seat.
Day is the Chief Financial Officer for Community Chest, Inc., where she previously served as the Adult and Youth Case Manager, G.A.M.E. Program Director, Case Management Program Director and Human Resources/Grants Manager.
She is a 2006 Dayton High School graduate and described herself as a lifelong member of the Dayton community, a product of its schools, a nonprofit leader and a parent of a student at Sutro Elementary.
“I feel personally and professionally invested in helping Lyon County schools thrive,” she wrote in her letter of intent for the position.
During the interviews, each Trustee asked each candidate one question. After the interviews were complete, each Trustee stated their top two candidates. Each Trustee said they were impressed with multiple candidates, but four of them listed Day as their first choice.
The Board voted 4-2 to the motion to appoint Day to the vacant seat, with Trustees Tom Hendrix and Sherry Parsons opposed.
“I personally want to thank every single person who put in to do this,” Trustee James Wisler said. “It is not easy and it takes a lot to put yourself out there and volunteer for such a big task.”
