LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Two more elementary schools in Clark County have canceled classes for the day due to "an unexpected number" of teacher and staff absences.
Both schools — Linda Rankin Givens Elementary and C.T. Sewell Elementary — announced the closures in letters issued
to parents on Friday morning. Principals from both campuses asked parents directly to refrain from bringing their children to campus due to "an unexpected number of licensed staff/teachers absent from school."
The letters continued, "We have made the difficult decision to not have school today."
