The Clark County School District is the fifth-largest school district in the country wrapped inside a state with a thin and shrinking local press corps. The result is that a lot of consequential decisions about public education in Nevada happen without meaningful public scrutiny
Why This Exists
ccsd.blog exists to fill some of that gap. Not all of it — one person with a website is not a newsroom — but some of it, on the questions where detailed, patient reporting can make the workings of the system legible to the people it’s supposed to serve.
What We’ve Covered
Our reporting has included investigative work on the Teach For America pipeline into Nevada education leadership — documenting conflicts of interest among officials who cycle through regulatory positions while TFA continues to receive public funding. We have also covered charter school financing and governance structures, including cross-state bonding arrangements and the relationships between nominally nonprofit charter operators and their for-profit management companies.
We provide ongoing analysis of Clark County School District governance, Nevada education policy, and the media landscape that is supposed to be covering all of the above.
