Hager elected Carson City Schools Foundation board president

Jon Hager has been elected president of the Carson City Schools Foundation Board of Directors.

The nonprofit organization funds programs and projects in the Carson City School District that are not typically covered by the traditional education budget.

Hager replaces Steve Reynolds, who has been executive president for more than a decade. Reynolds will continue to serve as a member of the foundation’s board of directors.

To honor Reynolds’ commitment, the foundation’s board of directors made a one-time donation of $1,500 for the Steve Reynolds Legacy Scholarship. The scholarship was designated to assist a graduating senior in Carson City who planned to further their education.

The scholarship was awarded to Audrey Wood, a student at Carson High School. She was selected in acknowledgment of her exceptional academic performance and exemplary volunteer work. Of note, she earned dual Career and Technical Education credits from Western Nevada College, underscoring her commitment to pursuing a career in graphic design post-graduation.

In addition to Hager and Reynolds, the Carson City Schools Foundation Board of Directors consists of 10 members including Casey Gilles; Richard Stokes; Jennifer Mahe; Patty Chang; Fabiola Mata; Keith Squires; Gary Lyon; and Katie Leao Geiser.

There are three advisers to the foundation’s board: Joe Cacioppo, president of the Carson City School Board; Christine Perkins, director of grants and special projects for the CCSD; and Dan Davis, public information officer for the CCSD.

Hager is a licensed health broker and co-owner of Asset Solutions Group, Inc., an independent insurance agency specializing in Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangements and employee benefits for associations. He also serves as the assistant coach for the Carson High School cross country team.
