Superintendent candidates set to be presented to CCSD Board
Tonight, the search firm in charge of finding the Clark County School District's next superintendent will formally present the slate of candidates to the Board of Trustees.
According to documents, six people make up the slate of candidates recommended for interviews but more could be added. Some could even be removed.
We've been digging into their pasts and found a number of troubling reports concerning firings and other issues in districts where some of them previously worked.
We've also learned two other candidates have been included in the materials for board members to review, though they aren't listed as part of the current slate.
Tonight's special meeting is at 5:30. A public comment section is included on the agenda.
Clark County commissioners set to take up items that affect local community
Today, commissioners are set to appoint the new Clark County fire chief.
A current senior deputy fire chief, Billy Samuels has been with the department since 2001 and has risen through the ranks, previously serving as firefighter, engineer captain, and battalion chief.
He's also served as deputy fire chief over emergency management and supported response efforts to 1 October.
He and his team have been involved in multiple high-profile events like Formula 1 and Super Bowl LVIII.
The county's previous fire chief John Steinbeck resigned so he could take on a new role after being elected to the State Senate in November.
Clark County commissioners are also set to hold a public hearing on an ordinance that aims to regulate major entertainment facilities.
This all began last year when commissioners started discussing business licensing for proposed activities at Grand Prix Plaza and directed staff to work with the industry to come up with regulations.
While it was built for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, there are plans to have different programming at the Plaza year-round and not just during race weekend.
This ordinance would establish rules for that while balancing the interests of nearby businesses like resorts and stadiums.
