Seven members are elected based on district; four are appointed representatives from the four largest municipalities in Clark County (Clark County, City of Las Vegas, City of Henderson, and City of North Las Vegas). They are responsible for providing oversight to the Superintendent and establishing District-wide policy. Trustees are accountable to work with their communities to improve student achievement.

Trustees Heard a Presentation on the Nevada Educator Performance Framework

Trustees discussed the Nevada Educator Performance Framework and 2024-25 results. Presentation highlights included:

• The current Nevada Educator Performance Framework rating system weights instructional practice/leadership most heavily (65% of a teacher’s/administrator’s evaluation score is dedicated to this category), followed by professional responsibilities (20%), then student performance (15%).
• During the 2024-25 school year, 14,085 teachers received performance evaluations. Most received ratings of “highly effective” (16.32% of those evaluated) or “effective” (78.68%), and 4.47% of teachers were exempt from full evaluation due to past high performance. Very few received ratings of “developing” (0.45%) or “ineffective” (0.07%).
• During the 2024-25 school year, 820 administrators received performance evaluations. Most received ratings of “highly effective” (14.12% of those evaluated) or “effective” (84.15%), and 1.71% were exempt from full evaluation due to past high performance.
