The Clark County School District (CCSD) Board of Trustees faced significant decisions regarding Superintendent Dr. Jesus Jara's future with the district. On Wednesday, they were to decide whether to accept Dr. Jara's resignation along with the payout he requested and whether to appoint his second-in-command as his successor without considering other candidates. The CCSD Education Association (CCEA) issued a statement advocating for an interim superintendent and a national search for a permanent replacement, also urging the rejection of Dr. Jara's resignation terms. During the meeting, which Dr. Jara did not attend, the trustees voted 4 to 3 against the resignation with a buyout. The board went into a private session to deliberate further, while community members held a separate meeting as they awaited the outcome. The rejection of the buyout leaves Dr. Jara's departure from the district still in question.
