Did you know LCSD has the Safest City in Nevada?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NOVEMBER 15, 2017

Yerington, NV

The Lyon County seat and home to Lyon County School District's Yerington High, Intermediate and Elementary Schools - is ranked the safest city in Nevada... for the second year in a row!

Safewise, an independent review and comparison website, prides itself in providing unbiased comparison tools, information and educational materials about home security systems, home security monitoring and home security techniques to empower consumers to make informed decisions.  On Monday, November 13, they released their report, "5 Safest Cities in Nevada," for 2017 with none other than Yerington, NV in the number one spot.  Yerington also ranked in first place when Safewise released their rankings for 2016.  

How did Safewise come to their conclusions?  The website reviews the most recent FBI Crime Reports, maintains a population threshold to avoid having extreme outliers skew the data and then reviews and assigns a safety score based on the report.  More info available here.

But really, how can you not feel safe when you have Yerington Elementary students being appointed Cub Safety Officers by the Yerington Police Department...

Or when you have Yerington High students filling sandbags for the elderly and needy community before the flooding begins... 

Or when you have a Yerington Intermediate student recognized by UNR for educating her community about the dangers of radon in the home and providing a home testing kit.
