Sunny Lee received a perfect score of 36 the second time she took the ACT college entrance exam. The 17-year-old Bishop Gorman High School student was happy. But she was still signed up to take the SAT in December, so she studied for a bit and took that, too. She walked away with another perfect score of 1600. –Sunny Lee
On Jan. 15, State Superintendent of Instruction Steve Canavero will issue a ruling whether the Clark County School District is following the reorganization law. He doesn’t expect they will be found in compliance. Here’s one of the major reasons why: The law says school should benefit from “attrition savings.” When a school can’t hire a full-time teacher and has to hire a substitute, they’re saving the district some money, because substitutes cost less. That money is called attrition. Historically, schools haven’t been given the money they save the district. The district has used it for other projects. That has to change, according to the law. But the district says it’s hard to “build the engine of a plane while it’s flying.” The state will likely issue a corrective action plan, laying out what the district needs to do to come into compliance.

The Love Store, a retailer whose products include vibrators and lingerie, will open a new location this week next to the downtown healing garden dedicated to the Las Vegas shooting. The store, located near the intersection of Charleston Boulevard and Third Street, will staff 30 employees, Wheeler said. This is the fifth Love Store, with three around the valley and one in Victorville, California. Officials approved the architectural plans for the store in July, according to city records. Love Store received a certificate of occupancy on Oct. 11. Some who work in the arts district disagree with having a store that sells sex-related items next to a memorial for shooting victims. Las Vegas Valley artist Nancy Good, who’s held exhibits in the arts district, said the combination will turn into a punchline.
