The Clark County School District is one of the largest in the country and the largest public employer most valley families deal with directly. Its budget, hiring and oversight decisions touch hundreds of thousands of students.
We follow audits, board decisions and state actions involving the district, and we focus on the question parents ask first: does this change anything in my child's classroom?
