RENO, Nev. (AP) — Washoe County schools are no longer at risk for a state takeover in 2017.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports that the Nevada Department of Education has announced that only public schools in Clark County will be taken over next academic year under the state-run Achievement School District.
Washoe's Natchez and Desert Heights elementary schools were at risk of takeover because of chronic underperformance.
