I’m Beth Smith, and if you live in this area of Reno, I represent you on the school board. I won election to this seat in 2022. Because I filled a vacancy on the board, this seat will be up for election again in 2024, and I am running for re-election.

I hope you’ll take a moment to learn more about me, sign up for updates, engage with me on social media, or contact me—I’d love to hear your thoughts, questions, or ideas about how we can improve our schools together as a community.

Get in Touch

I want to hear from you. Do you have any questions or concerns about our school district? Is your kid’s teacher doing an amazing job? I’d love to hear it all—the good, the challenges, and anything else you’d like to share.

Support My Campaign

Please help me continue to represent our district and provide leadership that engages, listens, and cares for our community. Your contribution helps me reach all the voters in our district, and your support means the world to me.

What I want to focus on this Thanksgiving is the incredible work that goes on in our classrooms. I’m grateful to have been a part of giving our hard-working staff a massive raise. I appreciate their advocacy (as rightly highlighted in this Op Ed), and I appreciate their work every single day.
 
I know there are many questions about what comes next for our District. While I dont have all the answers now, please know the progress weve made together and our shared commitment to offer the best education for our kids is secure. For now, I just want to say that I am grateful for our wonderful staff who show up for students every single day, regardless of anything and everything else. This is a wonderful community and a district that I’m proud to say my children attend and call home.

The path to higher education can be overwhelming. Where should I go? How will I afford it? What if I have a special need? WCSD is here to help! Today’s College Fair featured almost 70 colleges, universities, and military branches where thousands of students and families from across N. Nevada learned more about the options available after high school. Workshops covered topics like financial aid, application process, and choosing the right school. WCSD counselors were even on hand to support kids and parents with navigating the event. A huge thank you to the Office of Family & School Partnerships for putting together such an outstanding community event. I am so #wcsdproud of you!
