Statement on final budget for the 2019-2020 school year

Today, the final budget for the Clark County School District (CCSD) 2019-2020 school year was posted.

The Trustees are required by state law to pass a final, balanced budget by early June. They will consider the final budget at a special meeting on May 20.

There are no major changes from the tentative budget presented to Trustees in April, as we do not know how much additional funding we will receive from the Legislature. We can re-open our budget at any point before December to add in additional funds, including dollars for employee raises.

CCSD remains committed to working with Governor Sisolak, Speaker Frierson and Majority Leader Cannizzaro to identify the funds needed to provide our employees with a 3 percent raise, in addition to advancement on the district’s salary schedule and increased costs for health care.
