Compliance monitor reports CCSD completed 26 of 29 corrective actions; three remain pending CFO hire
Summary
Yolanda King told trustees the district had finished 26 of 29 action steps tied to a November 2024 notice of noncompliance under NRS 387 and 388g. The outstanding items hinge on hiring a permanent chief financial officer and finalizing staffing and monitoring processes.
Yolanda King, the compliance monitor assigned to Clark County School District, told the board on May 15 that the district had completed 26 of 29 action steps in a corrective action plan required after a November 2024 notice of noncompliance with Nevada Revised Statutes NRS 387 and 388g.
King said the corrective plan included seven goals and 29 action steps; she verified documentation for 26 completed steps and described the three outstanding items as dependent on the recruitment and hiring of a permanent chief financial officer. She identified the three remaining steps by the action-step numbers appearing in the plan: an open recruitment to hire a permanent CFO (listed as item 1.13 b in the plan), development and implementation of a staffing model aligned to the budget cycle (1.13 0.3 d), and establishment of a monthly central-services budget monitoring cycle (1.3 0.1 b). King said she expects those items to be resolved before the next compliance monitoring report in June.
Trustees thanked King and staff for rapid progress. Trustee Cavazos moved to accept the compliance monitoring update and Trustee Dominguez seconded; the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. King said she will provide a detailed evaluation and recommendations at the board’s second June meeting and will meet with Superintendent Dr. Ebert to review recommendations before the June report is filed with the Nevada Department of Education.
King also said that the district’s staff researched budget software options, including visits to other local governments, and expects a vendor recommendation to proceed through the district’s IT governance process in the coming weeks; if approved, the contract could come to the board in June to support a July implementation timeline for the 2025–26 budget cycle.
Next steps: legal and finance staff will continue recruitment for a permanent CFO; the compliance monitor plans a detailed June report documenting each action step and offering recommendations for ongoing improvements.
