An Indian school existed at Lovelock, Nevada for at least the years 1910 thru 1912. It appears it may have exercised agent responsibilities, as well. In 1912, it was subordinated to the Fallon School and Subagency.

Records
Agencies and subagencies were created as administrative offices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and its predecessors. Their purpose was (and is) to manage Indian affairs with the tribes, to enforce policies, and to assist in maintaining the peace. The names and location of these agencies may have changed, but their purpose remained basically the same. Many of the records of genealogical value (for the tribe and tribal members) were created by and maintained by the agencies.
