CCSD pausing future school construction
The Clark County School District Board of Trustees approved a one-year pause on future school construction, citing limited funding.
The district identified $15.5 billion in needs, with about half available in bond funds.
Justin Hinton has been following the replacement of schools over the past couple of years.
While they will take a break to get feedback for now, there are some exceptions, including the approval of a new elementary school in the northwest valley and the replacement of Matt Kelly Elementary, which is expected to open in the 2027 - 2028 school year.
You can weigh in on the facility mast plan process by attending a community forum. The next ones are tomorrow in English in Spanish, and both are virtual.
Today starts in the 60s and 70s with light south breezes at 5-15 mph and a partly cloudy sky.
Friday and Saturday are going to be windy; afternoon southwest gusts of 30 mph could stir up some dust, especially in open areas.
Highs in the low 80s Friday will take a drop to the low 70s this weekend; Las Vegas remains in the upper 70s Monday before warmer weather returns for the rest of next week.
Roadways are looking mostly clear at this hour, so enjoy your morning commute ahead of the weekend.
