The Clark County School District’s budget is growing as will its student body and personnel. Yesterday the school board unanimously approved a $2.2 billion budget for the next fiscal year. That’s a $50 million increase due in part to increases in property tax revenues.
CCSD is planning to hire an additional 233 teachers, 500 support staff and 28 school-based administrators.
School officials expect an additional 3,300 students next year. A state education committee is recommending a proposal to increase per-pupil funding by 50 percent for non-English-speaking students and those in poverty. If approved it could be considered in the 2015 legislative session.
