Get to Know Your Board of Trustees
The Clark County Board of School Trustees is a dedicated group of community leaders who are elected to overlapping four-year terms and represent a specific geographic region of Clark County. Although each trustee represents a different region, they are dedicated to ensuring the success of every student in the district through clear, concise direction to the superintendent. The trustees bring a wealth of experience and concern for children to their position. Together they have 35 children and 30 grandchildren, and most have attended the Clark County School District.

Public Hearing at Board Meeting
The Board of School Trustees recognizes that its deliberative process benefits greatly from public input and perspective. Those wishing to address the Board may sign up to speak by calling the Board Office at 799-1072 during regular business hours and at least 3 hours prior to the scheduled start of the meeting. Alternatively, speakers may sign up in person immediately prior to the beginning of the meeting. Prior to each agenda item being voted on, members of the public are allowed to speak on the item after the Board's discussion and prior to their vote. Since approval of the consent agenda may be approved in one motion, members of the public wishing to speak on a consent agenda item may speak prior to the vote. Customarily, speakers will be called in the order in which they signed up. No person may sign up for another individual. No person may yield his or her time to another person. Generally, a person wishing to speak on agenda items will be allowed 3 minutes to address the Board.
School Name Committee
One of the highest honors bestowed upon an individual who has made an everlasting impact in the Clark County community is to become a school namesake. The motivation for this naming opportunity is to honor educators, students, and community leaders of the highest character, while providing Clark County school children with role models, and a sense of the rich history and diversity of the Southern Nevada community.
The Clark County School District School Name Committee will meet on Thursday, March 31, 2011, at 6:00 p.m. in the Board Room located at 2832 East Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, NV, to consider the naming of portions of District facilities (including libraries, gyms, stadiums, conference rooms, etc.) and other matters related to naming of District facilities. Clark County School District Policy 7223-Naming of Schools and Education-Related Facilities, outlines the criteria for naming District facilities and portions of facilities, the selection process, and the make-up of the School Name Committee. The Clark County School District "Facility Name Application for Existing Portions of a School or Nonschool Facility" is due no later than March 11, 2011. Please submit the application and all required supporting information to Clark County School District, Community and Government Relations, 5100 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, NV, 89146. (For your convenience a link has been provided to the policy and application.)
At this time, all schools scheduled for construction from the 1998 Bond Fund have been named. Therefore, no naming opportunities currently exist for new District schools.
All nominations are made available to the public for review and are posted on the Clark County School District's website.Below please find the Facility Name Applications for Existing Portions of a School or Nonschool Facility that will be presented for consideration at the School Name Committee meeting on March 31, 2011.

2011 Redistricting of Trustee's Election Boundaries
School district trustees approve redistricting plan
Tremendous growth and population shifts during the past decade created quite a challenge for Clark County School District trustees to work with staff and develop a comprehensive redistricting plan that would address as many community concerns as possible. Following several months of discussion and input, a plan was approved at a special board meeting on August 22, 2011.
The redistricting, which was required by state law following the results of the 2010 census, will result in some residents being represented by a new trustee, while others will have the same trustee as their designated board member. The new districts go into effect immediately and bring the population more in alignment so each trustee represents a similar number of constituents.
The link to the attached map identifies the new boundaries that were approved.
The newly approved districts include the following student counts/population counts:
| Trustee | District | Student numbers | Total population numbers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deanna L. Wright | A | 41,306 | 288,050 |
| Chris Garvey | B | 49,877 | 268,148 |
| Dr. Linda E. Young | C | 46,322 | 269,116 |
| Lorraine Alderman | D | 48,909 | 290,886 |
| John Cole | E | 37,483 | 266,209 |
| Carolyn Edwards | F | 38,446 | 288,846 |
| Erin E. Cranor | G | 42,289 | 280,014 |
Anyone who would like to contact their respective board member can do so by calling the board office at 799-1072.
