  • Washoe County School Board approves major changes to Pine and Traner middle school


    RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – The Washoe County School Board of Trustees unanimously approved to close Pine and Traner middle schools to build two new PreK to 5th grade schools.

    This proposal stems from the 2023 Facility Modernization Plan. The District wants to modernize old buildings, limit gap years between elementary to middle school and improve English and Math scores.

    The new schools will house Smithridge, Dodson, Duncan, Lemelson and/or neighboring schools.

    The new school, that will be built where Pine is now, would be open in 2028.

    Concerns point to fewer course options, possible enrollment decline and teacher credential barriers.

    Shareholders heard from Principals, students, teachers, families and community members leading up to this decision. The public also gave feedback about the PreK-8 study.

    The district says this is a major step forward. “Change is scary and hard, and we respect the history of community and pine but this hopefully is met with a sense of enthusiasm that, hey, I want to be a part of writing the script of my future, for my students and my community,” said Adam Searcy with WCSD.

    More details about the PreK-8 study report and results can be found, here.

    The Washoe County School Board has approved significant changes to Pine and Traner middle schools. These changes come as part of a larger effort to improve academic performance and overall student experience at both schools.

    One of the major changes approved by the school board is the implementation of a new curriculum focusing on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education. This will provide students with more opportunities to engage in hands-on, project-based learning that is relevant to real-world applications.

    Additionally, both schools will be receiving funding for updated technology and resources to support this new curriculum. This includes new computers, software, and equipment to enhance student learning and prepare them for future success in STEM-related fields.

    Furthermore, Pine and Traner middle schools will be implementing new extracurricular programs and clubs to further engage students outside of the classroom. This will provide students with a well-rounded educational experience that fosters their interests and talents.

    Overall, these changes are aimed at creating a more dynamic and engaging learning environment for students at Pine and Traner middle schools. The school board is confident that these improvements will have a positive impact on student achievement and help prepare them for success in high school and beyond.

  • Caitlin Rock arraigned in Washoe County District Court


    Caitlin Rock arraigned in Washoe County District Court



    Caitlin Rock, a 28-year-old resident of Reno, was arraigned in Washoe County District Court this morning on charges of grand larceny and fraud. Rock is accused of embezzling over $50,000 from her former employer, a local accounting firm, by falsifying company records and diverting funds into her personal accounts.

    During the arraignment, Rock pleaded not guilty to all charges and was released on bail pending further court proceedings. The judge set a preliminary hearing date for next month to determine if there is enough evidence to proceed to trial.

    Rock’s defense attorney maintained her innocence, stating that she is a hardworking and honest individual who has been wrongly accused. The prosecution, however, argued that there is substantial evidence to support the charges against Rock and that she should be held accountable for her actions.

    As the case moves forward, the community is left wondering how someone like Caitlin Rock, who was once considered a trusted employee, could allegedly commit such a serious crime. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
