The Churchill County School Board of Trustees will meet tomorrow night, March 23, at 5 p.m. in a special meeting in room 304 on the Western Nevada College campus to choose a new principal for the Middle School.
The Initial Interview Committee met on Friday, March 18, 2022, to interview six principal candidates: Mindi Hammill, from Hunters, WA; along with Churchill County School District applicants Robert Wickware, Deana Porretta, Amanda Lister, Joseph Wood, and Rachel Knight.
The committee recommended two candidates to move forward for final interviews with Superintendent Summer Stephens, who also selected a third candidate from the pool to interview as well, based on the committee’s results. Those interviews were held on March 19-21, 2022.
From the finalist interviews, Stephens is recommending Mr. Robert Wickware for the CCMS Principal saying, “Mr. Wickware has a range of experiences as a classroom teacher, dean, and vice-principal. He currently works with attendance, student discipline, our Modern Teacher, and LCF work, including the use of data-informed decisions as well as work in restorative practices and threat assessments. He also supervises a number of middle school staff at this time.”
Stephens confirmed by email that Wickware was one of the committee’s recommendations.
Sitting on the Interview Committee were Gary Jamison, Victoria Purrell, and Torri Conley, all CCMS Teachers; Angel Raymond, the CCMS Office Manager; Tim Spencer, the CCHS Principal; Shawn Purrell, the Numa Elementary Principal; Kevin Lords, Director of Administrative Services and Operations; and Shannon Goodrick, a parent and the director of the Fallon Youth Club.
The Board of Trustees will consider and vote on Stephens' recommendation to hire Wickware at the meeting.
In other business the Board of Trustees will discuss revisions to procedures and policies, the district’s Mission, Vision, and Beliefs, a review of SMART goals, a discussion of “guardrails,” how and when to monitor the Superintendent’s Progress on Goals, and a provide guidance for drafting a new Superintendent Evaluation format. They will also address the Board Self-Evaluation tool.
