Dear Powerful Parents,
It is no secret that the education system in Clark County is broken. We just got our kids back to school and are dealing with the impact of a full year of lost learning. It would be easy to throw up our hands and walk away in disgust, but we must continue to engage. Parents have the right to demand more.
Parents are disappointed at the dysfunction and unprofessional behavior from some of the trustees over the last year. This latest move to remove Dr. Jara, and then reconsider his termination, has left this district in chaos and will be very expensive. According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, "...the superintendent is owed more than 657,000 for the remainder of his contract and an additional 2 million dollars to settle alleged hostile work environment, retaliation, breach of contract and due process violations." Agenda lays out how Jara drama may unfold at next CCSD board meeting.
This meeting agenda will include discussion on Dr. Jara's contract and allegations of a hostile work environment. SEAC committee appointments will also be discussed and possibly approved.
