Parsons Tapped as Next Superintendent

Parsons Tapped as Next Superintendent
Derild Parsons speaking with the Churchill County School District Board of Trustees

Author: Leanna Lehman

The Churchill County School Board has elected to go with local candidate Derild Parsons after a two-day interview process that included site tours and a round of community comments. Deliberations today led to the announcement of Parsons, who currently serves as the Director of Learning and Innovation, as well as the Principal of Northside Early Childhood,  who will step into the position as the next superintendent beginning July 1.

While Tim Spencer, Blake Cooper, and Brandon Moeller all garnered favor as various trustees' first and second choices, it was Parsons who earned the trust of each trustee in their top three choices.

Trustee Tricia Strasdin abstained from voting until Blake Cooper was eliminated, as she currently works in the Lyon County School District at the school where he is the principal.

The Fallon Post will join the Lahontan Valley News with an in-depth story of the interview and decision-making process for their papers this coming week.

They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
