Nevada Joint Union High School District Superintendent Dan Frisella joins KNCO Insight to discuss the new school year in Nevada County. He explains why Nevada Union and Bear River high schools started earlier, how the revised calendar affects the Nevada County Fair and athletics, and the benefits of ending school before Memorial Day.

The conversation also covers campus solar projects, facility improvements, enrollment, student safety, fall sports and the district’s growing Career Technical Education programs. Frisella highlights hands-on opportunities in agriculture, construction, automotive technology, aviation and criminal justice that help prepare local students for college and the workforce.
