CCSD Budget Shortfall Larger Than Originally Believed

The Clark County School District is facing an even larger budget shortfall for the coming year than was originally announced.

During the school board meeting Wednesday, CCSD announced an estimated $45 million shortfall, that’s over 30 percent more than the hole revealed last month.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports much of the shortfall stems from an arbitration award for the administrators’ union, and state funding for full-day kindergarten and the special education contingency fund that fell below projects.
