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 a Report on the “Safe and Supportive Schools” Priority of the 2026-2031 Strategic Plan (7-0)

Trustees saw and approved a presentation on the current progress of the “Safe and Supportive Schools” Priority of the 2026-2031 Strategic Plan, which aims to “allow students to learn in safe, supportive schools where they are known, valued, connected, and ready to thrive.”

Highlights of the presentation included:

• Chronic Absenteeism 
  • The District’s 5-year goal is to decrease chronic absenteeism (students missing 10% or more of enrolled school days) by 40%.
  • From pre-pandemic (2018-19 school year) to the 2023-24 school year, chronic absenteeism increased from 22% to 31.3%. It decreased to 26.9% by the 2025-26 school year.
  • As of May 22, 2026, the grade level with the lowest chronic absenteeism rate is 6th grade (19.3% chronic absenteeism), with rates progressively higher among older students (up to 37.5% in 12th grade) and younger students (up to 31.0% in kindergarten).
  • Actions contributing to the downward trend in chronic absenteeism include adopting a more prevention-focused approach, the Bright Futures campaign, using attendance data to implement targeted interventions, an increased number of home visits by Attendance Enforcement officers, and communicating standardized attendance procedures to all schools.
  • Next steps for decreasing chronic absenteeism include continuing attendance coaching, professional learning, and data-informed support; strengthening the Bright Futures Coalition; and developing a School Attendance Review Board.
• Student Discipline
  • Goals for student discipline include creating a revised Pre-Kindergarten–Grade 12 Code of Conduct to be released in the 2027-28 school year, as well as training school leadership teams in universal social-emotional-behavioral classroom systems and practices and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.
  • From pre-pandemic (2018-19 school year) to the 2023-24 school year, the number of suspensions increased from 31,047 to 31,693. It decreased to 28,160 by the 2025-26 school year.
  • The student populations with the highest rates of suspensions were Black/African American (2.71 times as likely to be suspended compared to the average) and students eligible for special education (2.11 times as likely to be suspended compared to the average).
  • Actions contributing to the downward trend in disciplinary actions include coaching for school administrators, increased coordination of behavioral supports among central office departments, expanded use of Multi-Tiered System of Supports-related goals, increased use of restorative practices, and use of discipline data to prioritize supports.
  • Next steps include implementing a School Justice Collaborative Pilot; providing tiered coaching, technical assistance, and professional learning to schools; performing a root cause analysis of the student populations with the highest rates of disciplinary actions; revising discipline regulations; and increasing student and family voice in the development of further plans.

Trustees Formally Discussed and Reminded a Member of Board Governing Policies and Protocols

Trustees formally discussed and reminded a member of Governance Policy GP-2: Board Conduct, Ethics, and Operational Protocols as well as Governance Policy GP-3: Communication Protocols for the Board of Trustees.

Highlights of the discussion included:

• This discussion follows the guidance of Governance Policy GP-2 section 6, subparagraph d, which requires a discussion, in a public board meeting, of a board member’s failure to follow policies if previous nonpublic reminders were not sufficient to change the board member’s behavior regarding the policies.
• Trustee Biassoti was formally reminded of the Board’s governance policies.

Trustees Discussed Board Members’ Apparel

Trustees discussed Board members’ apparel during Board meetings and whether to update Governance Policies or the Board Handbook to include apparel guidelines.

Highlights of the discussion included:

• Historically, it has been noted either in the agenda or verbally by the President that apparel expressing a political message represents only the view of the board member wearing the apparel, not the view of the Board as a whole.
• There was general agreement that adding a new policy regarding apparel would not be beneficial.
• Some members shared the opinion that board members should err on the side of caution and refrain from wearing apparel with a message that would alienate any community members. Other members shared the opinion that board members should be able to express their political opinions through apparel.
