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 Nevada School Performance Framework (7-0)

Trustees saw and approved a report on Clark County School District’s performance in the Nevada School Performance Framework, focusing on the District’s “Academic Excellence” priority.

Highlights of the presentation included:

• From the 2024-25 school year to the 2025-26 school year, 73% of CCSD schools maintained or improved their star rating.
• For elementary schools, the number of 1- and 2-star schools increased, and the number of 3-, 4-, and 5-star schools decreased.
  • Causes of this change include a lower percentage of students meeting the adequate growth percentile in math and English language arts (ELA) and a lower percentage of nonproficient students on track to be proficient in math and ELA.
  • A bright spot is a higher percentage of students achieving proficiency in ELA.
• For middle schools, the number of 1-star schools increased and 2-star schools decreased, the number of 4-star schools increased and 5-star schools significantly decreased, and the number of 3-star schools stayed the same.
  • Causes of this change include decreased growth in ELA, a lower percentage of nonproficient students on track to be proficient in ELA, a change in scoring standards in the English language development exam for English learners, and a reporting change in which charter schools are no longer included in the data starting in the 2025-26 school year but remain as part of previous years’ data.
  • A bright spot is a higher percentage of students achieving proficiency in math.
• For high schools, the number of 1- and 2-star schools decreased, the number of 3-star schools increased, the number of 4-star schools slightly decreased, and the number of 5-star schools slightly increased.
  • Causes of this change include increases in percentage of students proficient across all academic content, increases in graduation rates, increases in advanced coursework participation and completion, and increases in the number of advanced diplomas and college and career ready diplomas earned.
  • An area for future improvement is the percentage of English learners meeting the adequate growth percentile in the English language development exam.
• Actions contributing to success include improving instruction, strengthening Multi-tiered System of Support implementation, and strengthening professional learning communities.
• Next steps include aligning improvement efforts with the District Strategic Plan, increasing targeted support by launching the Priority Schools Unit and aligning professional learning to identified needs, and evaluating the impact of current supports in order to increase effective supports and adjust less helpful supports.
