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 Approved  Closing Goodsprings Elementary School and Zoning Students from Goodsprings Elementary School to Sandy Valley Elementary School (6-0 )

Trustees approved the recommendation to close Goodsprings Elementary School and zone current students to Sandy Valley Elementary School.

Presentation highlights included:

  • Goodsprings Elementary School enrollment has declined over the last 15 years. In the last five years, continuous enrollment has ranged from 3-5 students.
  • Students in grades 6-12 in the Goodsprings attendance zone attend Sandy Valley Junior and Senior High School, so a school bus route already stops in Goodsprings to bring students to Sandy Valley.
  • Possible future uses for the building include community use, use by Las Vegas–Clark County Library District, and use by the Goodsprings Historical Society.
