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 Received a Presentation on the Facilities Master Plan
Trustees heard a presentation on CCSD’s Facilities Master Plan. Highlights from the update included:
- Workshops, meetings, and surveys have shown that top priorities include students and learning, equitable access to facilities, and openness to changes in facilities.
- Enrollment will decrease in the near future, so it would be good to focus on improving existing facilities over building new facilities.
- Many schools were built in the 1990s-2000s and are now in need of major renovations.
- Next steps include finding geographic gaps in service, analyzing and reporting on a facility adequacy assessment, and looking at sister and partner schools models.
