CCSD Board and District Administration
Regular board meeting, Thursday, November 12
The Board of School Trustees' calendar on the district's board page lists a regular meeting Thursday, November 12, at 5:00 p.m. PT. The posted agenda calls it a Regular Board Meeting, Combined Meeting with the Audit Advisory Committee, in the Greer Education Center Board Room at 2832 East Flamingo Road.
The posted agenda lists the Notice of Intent for Regulation 4291 as item 5.03. The district's Policies and Regulations page also flags it under the November 12 meeting date. The notice proposes to amend the rule that sets pay placement and raises on the Unified Administrative Salary Schedule, the pay scale for CCSD administrators.
The one passage printed in blue in the posted draft is a new paragraph: "The Superintendent may not grant more than a five percent (5%) annual salary increase to an 'At Will' employee without the approval of the Board of School Trustees." At will administrators are the ones the regulation describes as not eligible for collective bargaining. Thursday's vote, if it happens, would only start the clock. The notice sets possible final action for Thursday, January 28, 2027, at 5:00 p.m., and invites "data, views, or arguments, orally or in writing" before then. Nothing in it is approved.
The agenda also lists these items, none of them approved:
A public hearing on the teachers' contract: Item 5.02 is a hearing on proposed revisions to the 2025 to 2027 negotiated agreement between CCSD and the Clark County Education Association. The agenda says people may comment by calling 702 799 1072, signing up in person, or emailing boardmtgcomments@nv.ccsd.net.
The superintendent's yearly evaluation: Item 5.01 is presentation, discussion, and possible action on the 2025 to 2026 Superintendent Final Evaluation Report.
The yearly audit: Item 4.03 is a presentation and discussion of the independent auditor's report for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2026, by Eide Bailly LLP. Item 4.04 is possible action by the Audit Advisory Committee and the board to accept the district's responses to the auditor's recommendations and the auditor's statements on Nevada Revised Statutes compliance.
A fee for students who do not attend CCSD but play CCSD sports: Consent item 3.02 would require payment associated with pupils not enrolled in the Clark County School District who participate in any Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association sanctioned sport and would implement a fee schedule beginning November 13, 2026, to be reviewed annually, according to the agenda. The agenda says that would have no impact to the general fund. Consent items pass in one vote unless a trustee pulls one out.
How to take part, according to the board page and the November 12 agenda:
Livestream: "All meetings can be viewed on Youtube or Eduvision on the day of the meeting."
Speaking in person: Call the Board Office at 702 799 1072 during regular business hours, at least 8 business hours before the 5:00 p.m. start, or sign up in person right before the meeting begins. No one can sign up after the Board President introduces the item. Speakers get 3 minutes on an action item, after staff presentations and board discussion and before the vote. The whole Consent Agenda counts as one item. A separate 3 minute period before adjournment covers topics that are not action items.
Written comments: Email boardmtgcomments@nv.ccsd.net after the agenda is posted and at least 8 business hours before the start.
Accommodations: The agenda asks anyone who needs special assistance or an interpreter, including for Spanish and other languages, to call the Board Office at 702 799 1072 at least 24 hours ahead.
Wednesday is a holiday. The agenda is posted, so call the Board Office Monday or Tuesday.
Graduation requirements: comment window still open
The Notice of Intent on Regulation 5127, the high school graduation rule trustees took up October 29, sets possible final action for Thursday, December 10, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. PT, according to the notice. It is still a proposal. Our graduation requirements guide lays out what would change.
Last week's meetings
No public minutes or district recap for the October 29 regular meeting or the November 4 work session were on Diligent Community or the newsroom as of Saturday, November 7, so nothing from either meeting is reported here as approved. The latest newsroom board recap is from October 8.
What Parents Should Watch This Week
Rezoning commission, Tuesday, November 10
The Attendance Zone Advisory Commission (AZAC), the volunteer panel that recommends school boundary changes to trustees, meets Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. PT in the Greer Board Room, according to the November 10 agenda. All five focus areas are listed "For Possible Action":
A new zone for Joyce Woodhouse Elementary School, opening in 2027, drawn from the Bilbray, Bozarth, Darnell, Divich, and Scherkenbach elementary zones in the northwest valley.
McDoniel, Thorpe, and Treem elementary schools.
Cortney Middle School and Greenspun Junior High School.
Desert Oasis and Silverado high schools.
Chaparral, Clark, Desert Pines, Las Vegas, Rancho, and Valley high schools.
The only new map posted with the agenda is a fourth Woodhouse option. Its table shifts 247 students from Bozarth's zone to Divich and moves 552 Divich zone students to Woodhouse. The draft October 27 minutes show the commission tabled the McDoniel, Thorpe, Treem, Cortney, and Greenspun items until after a November 19 community meeting, and the Desert Oasis item, which would move 804 students to Silverado, until after a December 1 Facility Master Plan meeting.
To speak, call Demographics, Zoning, and GIS at 702 799 6430 at least 8 business hours before the start, which in practice means by Monday morning, or sign up in person before the meeting. Written comments go to azacmeetingcomments-user@nv.ccsd.net by the same deadline. Check your address on CCSD's Zoning Search map. Our Zoning Search guide explains how.
School Choice: 65 days left
The School Choice application for 2027 to 2028, which covers Magnet programs, Open Enrollment, and the Central Technical Training Academy, closes Tuesday, January 12, 2027, at 3:00 p.m., according to magnet.ccsd.net. Counting from Sunday, that is 65 days. Winter break, December 21 through January 1, sits inside that window, so the working days are fewer than the calendar suggests. For the steps, see our Magnet deadline guide and our Open Enrollment guide.
