Clark County School District outlines fixes after finding two reorganization compliance gaps
Summary
CCSD told the State Board it found two compliance gaps for the 2023–24 year — missing biannual substitute‑selected vacancy reports and incomplete collection of SOT training participation — and described systems and staffing changes to resolve them.
Clark County School District officials presented a reorganization compliance report Jan. 8 that identified two areas of noncompliance for school year 2023–24 and described corrective steps.
Kelly Cole Powell (CCSD) said the district's compliance audit found it had not consistently compiled the biannual report required by the state board regulation (R063‑22) about vacancies for which substitutes were selected, and that initial attempts to collect school organizational team (SOT) training participation were insufficient. On the first item, CCSD said recent human resources leadership and a subcommittee are redesigning computer and human workflows to assemble the required data. "The first one has been by far the most difficult," CCSD staff said in the presentation.
Brenda Larson Mitchell, CCSD interim superintendent, told the board the district currently has roughly "700 classroom vacancies right now, which is about 4%," and that many vacancies (about 570) are concentrated in Title I schools. CCSD said it has added a staff member whose primary responsibility is tracking SOT participation and reporting, and that revised processes should bring the district into compliance this year.
Board members asked for more detail about corrective timelines, training, and whether recurring problems require a state corrective action plan under NRS 388G. Superintendent Ebert noted the corrective action process available to the state superintendent when local compliance is not met. The board also agreed to reconvene the AB469 subcommittee to revisit budget and compliance issues raised during public comment.
