After hearing from about a dozen people during public comment, the Lyon County School District Board of Trustees voted to reelect Tom Hendrix as Board President and Dawn Carson as Board Clerk for 2026.
Hendrix was elected to the School Board in 2022 and was elected by the board to serve as president in 2025. Carson was elected to the board in 2024.
About a dozen people spoke during public comment in favor of Hendrix remaining as Board President, while a couple of others advocated for Trustee Darin Farr.
Ultimately, the vote to keep Hendrix as President passed 4-3, with Trustees Sherry Parsons, James Whisler, Dawn Carson and Hendrix in favor and Elmer Bull, Kallie Day and Farr opposed. The vote to reelect Carson as Board Clerk passed unanimously.
