Washoe County School District Gossip

More turmoil in my old district as Superintendent Traci Davis is on administrative leave, and a number of administrators are also gone.

Of course, the real shitty administrators are still there.  What a dump.  I am glad I am gone from there though I would have preferred it have been on my own terms.


The Washoe County School District today announced that Superintendent Traci Davis has taken an indefinite leave of absence from the district for personal reasons.

What was not announced is that her colleagues, Chief Student Services Officer Byron Green and Chief of Staff David Lasic, are suddenly no longer district employees. Green and Lasic, who are married, both saw noted career advancements and pay increases after coming to Washoe County from Clark County School District.

“I can confirm that Byron Green and Davis Lasic are no longer with the school district,” said district spokesperson Megan Downs.

Apparently it is for "personal reasons."


According to the district, "Per Board policy 9082, Dr. Kristen McNeill, Deputy Superintendent, is acting Superintendent. The leave is of indefinite length. Ms. Davis and School Board President, Katy Simon Holland will remain in contact to determine next steps. Neither Ms. Davis nor the school district has further information about the reasons for the Leave of Absence."

Davis will be paid for at least part of the absence, as she has accrued paid time off for which she will be compensated. The district hasn't said how much time off she has coming to her.

The district has not commented further, except to say the absence was not requested by the district or school board; it was strictly Davis's request. The district has confirmed, though, Chief of Staff David Lasic and Chief Student Services Officer Byron Green are no longer employed by the district. No reason has been given as they are personnel matters.
