Nearly a third of the Clark County School District’s 325,081 students could not be contacted the week after spring break, new data sent to the Nevada Department of Education shows.
The Clark County School District was unable to reach nearly a third of its 325,000 students during the second week of distance learning and counted attempts as a contact.
The move came after the Review-Journal reported that the district was unable to contact about 21 percent of students in the first week of classes after the schools shut down.
Superintendent Jesus Jara said the district and principals are working to find a way for seniors to graduate but added, “I don’t know what it’s going to look like.”
