Summary

Washoe County School District prepares to negotiate with new superintendent Tiffany McMaster, eyeing a steep $490/hour legal rate—nearly double the $225/hour paid for the prior superintendent’s contract. The board unanimously chose McMaster as their sole candidate, with no competitive search. Simons Hall Johnston, a firm with a proven track record of securing over $1 million in district contracts since 2021, is set to lead negotiations, with attorney Anthony Hall representing the trustees specifically. Total cost remains unknown, and they’re the only firm to submit a proposal. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
