Carson City school board president to speak at Monday's Democratic luncheon
Joe Cacioppo, District 7 representative and president of the Carson City School District Board of Trustees, will speak via Zoom at Monday's Democratic luncheon. He will provide an update on the issues faced by the board since he last spoke at a meeting of the Central Committee as a candidate for re-election this time last year. He is now in the first year of his third four year term.
After serving for more than a dozen years as a volunteer and consultant for the school district, Cacioppo was elected to his first term as a school board member in 2012. During his first four-year term, he held the positions of member, clerk and vice president. In 2016, during the first year of his second term, he was elected school board president.
In addition to his duties as board member and president, Joe also serves as one of the board's two legislative liaisons, representative to Carson City School’s Foundation, representative to the Emergency Operations Development Committee, and liaison with Pioneer High School.
Cacioppo is a veteran of the U.S. Army and a licensed civil engineer in Nevada and California. He is a principal civil engineer with the multidisciplinary consultant firm Resource Concepts Inc., where he helps oversee all engineering, environmental, survey and natural resource disciplines. He earned a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from California State University, Chico and has more than 25 years of experience in public infrastructure, commercial, industrial and residential planning, permitting, design and construction management projects. Cacioppo also has three children, all whom are alumni of the Carson City school system.
Joe has also served as the Nevada Section president for the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2009-10, and as the Capital Branch president for ASCE, 2000-01. Other volunteer service includes C&D Committee Member, 2015 to present, for the Northern Nevada Development Authority and commissioner, 2012 to present, for the Carson City Parks and Recreation Commission. He also was honored as the 2008 Friend in Education recipient for the Ormsby County Education Association.
During Joe Cacioppo's tenure on the school board, it was recognized as the 2013 NASB School Board of the Year, awarded to the Carson City School District Board of Trustees for the consistent use and development of skills and programs focused on board-superintendent cooperation and teamwork to improve student achievement. He was also a board member when it was recognized as the NASB Governance Team of the Year in 2017 and the School Board of the Year in 2019.
Sponsored by the Democratic Men's Committee, this event is scheduled for noon on Monday, November 1st. Joe will be presenting via Zoom.
