Distance learning significantly increased failing grades in the Clark County School District last semester.
Nevada’s education establishment wants to raise your property taxes — by a lot. Then, it wants you to pay more in sales tax.
The Clark County School District finally has a plan to get students back in the classroom.
If he weren’t the one supporting it, Superintendent Jesus Jara might decry distance learning as an example of systemic racism, implicit bias or both.
If it’s safe enough to have 1,000 people at a convention, it’s safe enough to put kids in schools.
After just two days, it’s already apparent that distance learning is a slow-motion disaster. Unfortunately, Clark County School District leaders aren’t taking steps to fix it.
