Families can now apply for open seats in the Clark County School District’s (CCSD) school choice options, including Magnet programs, Central Technical Training Academy and Open Enrollment.
For the 2026-2027 school year, CCSD continues working to provide families and students with access to high-quality programs that match their goals.
“Families deserve the opportunity to choose the educational experience that best supports their child’s goals and interests,” said CCSD Superintendent Jhone Ebert. “As we work to become the Destination District, our focus is on ensuring every family has access to high-quality options and the confidence to find the right fit within CCSD.”
