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.
Chief Financial Officer Jason Goudie cautioned, however, that this new figure is still just an estimate.
