Clark County School District Board of Trustees

What is the Board of Trustees & what are they responsible for? The CCSD Trustees are decision-makers for the school district. 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 Conducted a Joint Meeting with the Audit Advisory Committee

Trustees Heard a Presentation on the Annual Independent Auditor’s Report for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2026

Trustees heard a presentation from representatives at Eide Bailly LLP on the fiscal year that ended June 30.

Highlights of the presentation included:

• The District received an unmodified opinion, commonly called a “clean opinion”, for its fiscal year 2026 financial statement audit. This means the independent auditor concluded that the District’s basic financial statements are presented fairly in all material respects.
• At the time of the report, the net position of the district was $1.73 billion, meaning the district’s assets exceeded their liabilities by $1.73 billion. In comparison to the previous year, this is an increase of $47.6 million (2.75%). This means the net position changed very little.
  • Government-wide revenues were $5.37 billion, a decrease of $161 million (2.91%). This change was largely due to the expiration of COVID-19 grants.
  • Government-wide expenses were $5.32 billion, an increase of $44 million (0.84%).
• The total governmental fund balance increased from $2.3 billion to $2.4 billion (a 4.37% increase), largely due to a $267.09 million increase in the Bond Fund’s ending fund balance.
• Accuracy of budget
  • Actual revenue was lower than budgeted revenue by $19.99 million (0.59%).
  • Actual expenditures were lower than budgeted expenditures by $236.90 million, or about 7.45% below budgeted expenditures.
• The 2026 Federal Single Audit, a separate but related review of federal awards including compliance with requirements governing major federal programs, has been postponed awaiting the availability of official federal guidance.

Trustees Heard the Narrative Report of Recommendations and Accepted the Independent Auditor’s Statement (7-0)

Trustees received the narrative report of recommendations from the auditor, and District responses to the recommendations.

The recommendations and responses included:

• During fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026, the District failed to enroll some eligible substitute teachers in the Nevada Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS). The corrective actions are to coordinate with Nevada PERS to determine which employees were affected and any required employer and employee contributions; as well as updating District procedures regarding how eligibility is defined, how enrollment is initiated, and how confirmation of required enrollment is determined.
• The District’s IT department did not have a vendor due diligence program to evaluate the security of critical vendors. The corrective action is to build and implement a program to identify critical vendors and evaluate those vendors before a contract is signed and at least once a year afterward.
• Food Service inventory values were calculated incorrectly due to previously purchased items being counted as their current price at time of completing inventory rather than their price when they were purchased. The corrective actions are to implement systems to review how and when inventory prices are updated, preserve original purchase cost documentation, and reconcile inventory values to supporting invoices in the applicable costing methods.
• The District failed to recognize that it had been overpaid by the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) in the SNWA’s Water Efficient Technologies Program. The corrective actions are to reimburse SNWA for the amount of overpayment and to implement procedures within the Facilities and Bond Fund financial management team to recognize and reconcile any possible future overpayments.

Trustees Approved the 2025-2026 Superintendent Final Evaluation Report (7-0)

Trustees approved the 2025-2026 Superintendent Final Evaluation Report, which is intended to provide the Superintendent with an assessment of how well they accomplished the District goals selected for the year.

Highlights of the report included:

• Trustees rated the Superintendent’s performance on 5 goals. Each goal was rated 1-4, with 4 denoting the strongest performance. For each goal, the average score from all trustees was assigned a performance description of “distinguished”, “proficient”, “developing”, or “growth needed”.
  • Goal 1 – pre-kindergarten: 3.18 (proficient).
  • Goal 2 – early literacy: 2.73 (proficient).
  • Goal 3 – middle school math: 2.91 (proficient).
  • Goal 4 – workforce and college readiness: 3.0 (proficient).
  • Goal 5 – district plan: 3.1 (proficient).
• Additionally, a question evaluating how well the Superintendent maintained a working partnership with the Board supporting the Balanced Governance Standards and Practices produced an average rating of 3.0 (“agree”, slightly below “strongly agree”)
• Recommendations for improvement focused on strengthening reporting and expanding existing programs related to the goals.

Trustees Approved Revisions to the 2025–2027 Negotiated Agreement between the Clark County School District and the Clark County Education Association (7-0)

Trustees approved the proposed revisions to the 2025–2027 Negotiated Agreement between the Clark County School District and the Clark County Education Association.

Highlights of the proposed changes included:

• The surplus and Reduction-in-Force processes are changed for multiple positions.
• The positions of Psychologist, Nurse, Itinerant Speech Therapist, Itinerant Specialist, GATE Specialist, and Project Facilitator continue to be ineligible to participate in the Involuntary Surplus process and may still be identified for surplus at a school without regard to districtwide seniority. However, if an employee in one of these positions cannot be assigned to a vacant position, the employee will now be eligible to participate in the Reduction-in-Force process.
• The positions of Elementary Counselor, Secondary Counselor, Special Education Facilitator, and Read by Grade 3 Teacher may still be identified for surplus at a school without regard to districtwide seniority. If one of these employees is identified for surplus, they will be allowed to select vacancies in their specific positions based upon districtwide seniority. If the employee is unable to obtain a position after this, they will be eligible to participate in both the Involuntary Surplus and Reduction-in-Force processes.

Explore the negotiated agreement.

Trustees Approved a Notice of Intent to Amend CCSD Regulation 4291 (7-0)
