Weekend roundup: Low-cost events happening around the valley April 11-13
We know things are pricey right now, and we've heard from you that you want to know about free or inexpensive family-friendly things happening across the valley.
So here's a quick roundup of a few things happening around town this weekend.
CCSD unanimously approves new $385K superintendent contract
Today marks the final day students in the Clark County School District will not have a permanent superintendent.
It's taken more than a year to get to this point. Trustees approved a four-year contract for Jhone Ebert to become the next superintendent.
She'll get to work pretty quickly, too. She starts Monday and will be the first woman to hold the position since CCSD was established in the 1950s.
Ryan Ketcham spoke with parents at the Greer Education Center and has the details of her salary.
Happening today: Deadline day for Nevada legislature
Lawmakers in Carson City are facing their first big deadline of the 2025 session. Bills must pass from their original committee by midnight tonight, or they'll be considered dead for the rest of the session.
Our Senior Political Reporter Steve Sebelius is in Carson City to preview the busy day ahead for state lawmakers.
We want to let you know about upcoming lane closures that could impact you.
Starting Sunday, select sections of the Terminal 1 and 3 roadways at Harry Reid International will be reduced to one lane as crews upgrade to LED lights.
The work will run nightly from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. Sunday through Thursday morning until May 22.
All terminals will stay open throughout the process. You may just want to give yourself some extra time if you're heading to the airport between those hours.
