King said her final assessment found that of the plan's 29 action steps, 22 are complete, five are partially complete and two remain incomplete. The partially complete items are largely tied to staffing and the district's recent hire of a chief financial officer, which King said began July 15 and is already helping address outstanding work.

The monitor outlined several next steps she said are essential to prevent recurring compliance problems. Those included establishing budget liaisons to give principals direct financial support, installing an automated forecasting system (the district has selected a Sherpa budgeting tool), piloting an annual zero'based review of central-unit budgets for 2027, improving carry'forward tracking to show links between one'time funds and student outcomes, and adopting a 3'to'5'year reserve strategy for the district's risk management fund.

King said the review considered whether each action step addressed its root causes and recommended a phased approach to staffing a team of budget liaisons. \"Of the 29 action steps, 22 were complete, 5 were partially completed, and 2 were incomplete,\" she said. She also noted some items may be affected by legislative changes in SB 460 and said she had not yet completed a full read of that bill's implications.

Superintendent Christina Ebert thanked King and district staff for progress and said several partially completed items may be \"moot\" in part because of recent legislative changes. Ebert noted the CFO has been a focal point of progress: \"Tomorrow is our CFO's one'month birthday,\" she said, adding the new finance leadership has accelerated implementation.

Trustees pressed for details on how proposed changes will be phased and paid for. King said the district will need to evaluate whether existing staff can be retrained or whether external hires are required for the budget'liaison model and that the Sherpa implementation is expected to be ready for the 2027 budget cycle, with major steps wrapping by October.

The board voted 7'to'0 to accept the compliance monitoring report and the monitor's recommendations. King also said she will provide a December progress report to the state superintendent, as directed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CCSD Board of School Trustees - Regular Meeting - 8.14.25","oneSentenceSummary","A state-appointed compliance monitor told the Clark County School District board that 22 of 29 corrective-action steps are complete but key finance reforms remain, including hiring a CFO, automated forecasting and a proposed budget-liaison model; the board accepted the update 7-0.","taxTitle","CLARK COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, School Districts, Nevada","taxId",13426,"location","Nevada","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":42,"_43":78,"_45":78,"_46":79,"_48":80,"_50":81,"_52":82,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":83,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":84,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6789584,"Translators and interpreters criticize sudden end to home-office arrangements",16300215,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5588960-a31d70d93d64cdb91a5bfa0d41c11a23&start=16300&end=16300","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5588960-a31d70d93d64cdb91a5bfa0d41c11a23/thumbnail_16300215.jpg","/articles/6789584/Nevada/Translators-and-interpreters-criticize-sudden-end-to-home-office-arrangements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6789584-0961344463eca478bd60ced451fae353/orig.mp4?Expires=1771114332&Signature=AMSASy7BYQCTgWeGDUMm68EivEnPiDzJ6N0vTBXJpNHfY6p53b29OGaq-yh9nWZbQ8NA~DHPcJx~ktQAFqcBJ3mt7AN-q2HC9xH0ze4qPUUdL7w79QSQrf~aJirL62EZ~Hjm2CnLyOjR7I~jtYP~xkeCsIqPKc5jtq92G9G-UmCA8rqg5dLmC8IoiyCnA6NSh1O6jz7AuU4H2ee0fekNSP9qhGpdVL~IgbvUH~BVmRGHNs6BlUHKCP7gVqpr6XeGJOWDpeRVH6P1~EovdWrKCLY2pZ41~z1GwwlRk6PVj0N-w0gRS85FMVP87b~H219gjtlj-UyGyy-W47FUnzPNFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Multiple translators and interpreters addressed trustees during public comment on Aug. 14 to protest a recent district decision ending remote home-office arrangements and moving interpretation staff to shared on-site workspaces.

Sedevaya Hurtado and other translation staff described long experience providing remote interpretation for IEPs and other high'stakes meetings and said the home-office environment provides the quiet and confidentiality necessary for accurate work. \"Placing interpreters in a portable classroom with six other interpreters... will compromise confidentiality and increase the chance of inaccuracies,\" Hurtado told the board.

Several speakers said they learned of the change only by supervisors and not through the bargaining unit. Jan Giles, president of Education Support Employees Association (ESEA), told trustees the union had not been consulted and that changes to work location and conditions require bargaining under state law (NRS 288.15). Roanne Triana, the district's chief human resources officer, acknowledged feedback and said the department had received both supportive and opposed comments in writing; trustees asked staff to provide follow'up.

Staff leaders acknowledged the productivity and privacy concerns: Claudia Barnes and Coco (Hergie Dienas) described increased workload and travel costs for staff who now must report to campus sites. District managers said they are trying to place interpreters where schools need on'site coverage and that leadership will work to address logistics and confidentiality; union representatives urged transparent conversations and negotiation.

Multiple speakers asked trustees to delay or rescind the change pending bargaining-unit consultation and a written implementation plan. Trustees did not act on the issue during the meeting; several trustees and staff said they would follow up with HR and ESEA.","Translation and interpretation staff told the board that a new district decision to end home-based work and consolidate interpreters in shared on-site rooms jeopardizes confidentiality and productivity; union leaders said they were not consulted and asked for bargaining and reversal.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":42,"_43":88,"_45":88,"_46":89,"_48":90,"_50":91,"_52":92,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":93,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":94,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6789589,"Board unanimously approves three school naming recommendations",2980040,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5588960-a31d70d93d64cdb91a5bfa0d41c11a23&start=2980&end=2980","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5588960-a31d70d93d64cdb91a5bfa0d41c11a23/thumbnail_2980040.jpg","/articles/6789589/Nevada/Board-unanimously-approves-three-school-naming-recommendations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6789589-4ebd89519a7a98e610eb88d39faa4a11/orig.mp4?Expires=1771114332&Signature=ewO90X68MRU8zZTSBXItIakWZVv-T8I0PCe00dPU9Po3n3aXVRARomX5c0ag4ozPBZeUB~k95c3OV~vUe7CGAxHdDR6s4Zv-raNMZlZ0jtDzaa1Cj~-JOEKyayiuSA4ji5BThmDD9HzvX-z9c4gwoTZvwdzupV151OZWlkSrKNuVnNrAoDDKi2B~B454~zadgm1OWHJrlUME1lGG5DUMC0fPYwKyILpxb9b6xlOv7yMorxzHAsqZVIpgy7gdF1S8NJKXbQ9sVkkoM8EwtMBRaFmYFU6gA3aNTixLXkU5uyjzwvXsGtN~hoL-HxQnAW054q1iqBhoY3pMbPx~GRgHug__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustees unanimously approved three naming recommendations at the Aug. 14 meeting.

Kirsten Cyr, chief community engagement officer, presented the recommendations from the school naming committee. The Healing Center School at St. Jude's Ranch for Children will be renamed the Amy Ayoub Academy of Hope. Principal Amy Manning and St. Jude's CEO Christina Vela described the school's trauma'informed work with trafficking survivors and said naming the school for Amy Ayoub honors her advocacy and survivor leadership. Trustee Stephens moved and Trustee Cavazos seconded; the motion passed 7'0to'00.

The board also approved renaming the School for Academic Excellence at Charles I. West Hall Preparatory Institute to the Dr. Charles I. West Preparatory Academy to better foreground Dr. West's professional title and legacy. Student speakers and principals urged support; Trustee Henry moved the measure and Trustee Baron seconded; the vote was 7'0to' 0 in favor.

Finally, the board approved naming Building 2 of the Dr. Beth Howe Center for Yvette Wintermute, a longtime CCSD nurse and chief nurse who died in 2020. Chief nurse Sherry McPartland and colleagues testified about Wintermute's pandemic-era leadership and longstanding service. Trustee Esparza moved the action and Trustee Biasotti seconded; the board voted 7'0to' 0 to approve the dedication.

Trustees praised the honorees and thanked staff for the naming committee work. All three measures were approved as presented.","The CCSD Board approved three name changes: the Healing Center School will become the Amy Ayoub Academy of Hope, Charles I.

The board voted 7'to'0 to move the regulation forward.

Assistant superintendent Elena Kreiner Wilson summarized the proposed changes: a statutory definition of \"electronic communication device\" mirroring SB 444 (\"any electronic device capable of transmitting audio, written or pictorial information, including wearable technology\") and a clearer separation of permitted and prohibited uses. Permitted uses outlined in the draft include emergencies, managing health as prescribed by a doctor, teacher'authorized instructional use, and IEP/504 accommodations; the policy would also give principals discretion to authorize other uses in specific circumstances.

Kevin McPartland, who presented the prohibited-use provisions, said the updates align the district's code of conduct with state statute and include a progressive rating system for violations as required by SB 444.

Trustees asked how schools would enforce the rule and what happens when a student refuses. Staff said the policy is intended to be site'based in enforcement, that schools have used \"signal'blocking pouches\" as a districtwide program and principals have discretion over procedures, and that nuisance infractions start as minor discipline steps with escalation for repeated insubordination. Superintendent Ebert said the district's IT and security teams are working with implementation.

At public comment, several parents objected to pouch practices. Courtney Bivens told the board her son was told he was \"breaking the law\" if he did not place his phone in a teacher'controlled pouch; she said staff could not cite a statute. District staff responded that pouches keep devices with the student (on the desk or in a backpack in a pouch) so the device remains accessible while limiting classroom disruption.

Trustees said the policy is intended to follow the legislature while preserving medical and IEP accommodations. With the notice approved, staff will finalize regulatory language for a future adoption vote.","Trustees approved a notice of intent to revise Policy 51.36 to align with SB 444, clarifying permitted uses (medical, instructional, IEP accommodations, principal approval), prohibited uses and progressive penalties; some parents criticized school pouch practices at the meeting.","actionData","errors"]
