Trustees Heard Update on Assembly Bill 469 Compliance 

Assembly Bill 469 (2017) required the implementation of a plan to reorganize Clark County School District following the passage of Assembly Bill 394 (2015) which provides principals with increased autonomy over schools and budgets. 

The discussion was a continuation of an AB469 monitoring discussion related to the reorganization of CCSD. CCSD staff gave an update on progress towards compliance, indicating that the final items CCSD needs to comply with are items contingent upon negotiations with bargaining units and/or require decisions that the district interprets to not be in the best interest of kids. Trustees discussed the need for training on the history of AB469, and it is anticipated that the State Board of Education will provide guidance to the Nevada Department of Education to conduct this training. Further, trustees discussed the need to resolve the issue of compliance with the law in order to ensure more time at board meetings can be focused on student outcomes. 

Trustees also appointed Trustee Guzman to be the CCSD Trustee representative on the State Board of Education’s Assembly Bill 469 Subcommittee (4-3).  

Members of the public shared comments on this item regarding: 

  • Support for full implementation of AB469.
  • Opposition to AB469 due to the additional resources needed at the school level.
  • Support for adding a trustee to the AB469 subcommittee convened by the State Board of Education.
