CCSD has faced multiple traffic incidents recently involving students near school, school buses or both.
On Friday, a boy, 12, was hit by an alleged drunk driver while walking to Smith MS. He died today.
Today, buses hit a student near Lied MS and an adult in NLV.

New for the @LasVegasSun: Multiple state legislators received threats last week that law enforcement has since responded to, a source close to the situation confirmed.

Sen. Dina Neal yesterday said five received a bomb threat the day conservative activist Charlie Kirk was killed

Follow-up from CCSD re: Kirk posts
➡️Teachers whose posts have caused "substantial disruption to the District and raised concerns about safety are currently not assigned to classrooms."
➡️They uphold the intent, spirit of the 1A, also ensure schools are safe, focused on learning

[Hillary Davis @HillaryLVSun]

➡️There is a balance between free speech of private citizens and CCSD’s interest as an employer. Generally, discipline possible.
➡️No comment on specific personnel matters
➡️District and CCSDPD spox say gun at Cimarron not related to teacher’s Kirk post

The contract passed unanimously.

Now there will be a joint CCSD-CCEA press conference.

[Hillary Davis @HillaryLVSun]

The school board is about to vote on the new contract with CCEA. Highlights include incentives for teachers filling “hard-to-fill” positions and a “Salary Review and Adjustment Process” (a lookback) to address salary compaction.

As I also reported last year, the two-tiered pay scale upset veterans.

It’s the first day of schoooooooool. South CTA is CCSD’s latest brand-new campus. It’s starting with just freshmen.

[City of Las Vegas @CityOfLasVegas]

New safety enhancements are coming to the roadways near Arbor View High School, including overhead pedestrian-activated flashers. 🚸

Following the tragic crash that took the life of student McKenzie Scott, the city conducted a traffic study and found that all of the traffic safety devices on Buffalo, including the crosswalk, signage and school zone flashers, were functioning properly and are appropriate for the area.

As a result of the study, the city will add new signage and repaint the crosswalk on Buffalo Drive this summer.
