With guidance from the Nevada Department of Education and the State Board of Education, we have
created a District Committee on Re-Opening schools. This committee is made up multiple stakeholder
groups and its purpose is to develop a framework for which the Elko County School District can create
and implement safe and efficient guidelines for returning to school. This committee is comprised of local
health officials, emergency management personnel, school administrators, teachers, support staff,
parents, and Central Office team members.
This committee is looking at multiple topics concerning the logistics, health, and academic issues that we
will have to overcome within our multiple communities to provide the best and safest learning
environment that we can for our students. At this time, we have more questions than answers, but we
are working through these obstacles by coordinating efforts with both State and Local experts to
provide what we all want for the students of the Elko County School District, a return to normalcy, a
return to all that our schools years are supposed to be. Days filled with learning, friendship, and building
the skills that will serve our students for their lifetimes.
Updates will be made on the progress of our Re-Opening Committee so that all of our communities can
properly prepare for the upcoming school year. Please check the district website and social media page
for updates.
