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.

From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
