CCSD Bus Involved in Minor Accident Tuesday Morning

A Churchill County School District (CCSD) bus transporting students on route 60/bus 40 was in an accident just before 7 a.m. on Gummow Drive on January 30. No other vehicles were involved.

Churchill County Sheriff's Office responded to the accident alongside CCSD personnel, including Superintendent Derild Parsons and Director of Learning & Innovation Kathryn Bervin-Mueller. Emergency personnel assessed the situation and confirmed there were no injuries to the driver or the two students on the bus. The Nevada Highway Patrol also responded to investigate the accident and will perform a thorough inspection of the bus involved.

CCSD staff on the scene contacted the parents/guardians of the students involved, sent a message to students/families via Stopfinder that there would be a delay, sent a message to all CCSD families informing them of the incident, and followed established incident protocols. A backup bus was called to complete the route.

Superintendent Parsons appreciates first responders for their quick action and for putting the safety of our students and staff first. He would also like to thank all district personnel who immediately responded to this situation. This includes transportation and maintenance department supervisors, mechanics, and other staff. A thorough review of the incident will occur to ensure the safety of all students and staff.
