School Starts Tomorrow For CCSD

In what is promising to be a rocky school year for the Clark County School District (Las Vegas area) as school starts on Monday.
The first week will be disastrous for thousands of students because they do not have the proper immunizations or have not immunized before and these students will be sent home and not be allowed in school until their immunizations are up to date.
Then, the contracts with the teachers and support staff have not been signed. If there are no concessions, it is possible that by the middle of the school year, hundreds of workers maybe laid off.
Starting in the first week, the average class size in many classes, in high school will average over 40 students in the class and teachers will have around 250 students total in their classes. So much for individual attention. However, by the time November or December, classroom sizes will be half of that because of kids who move, drop out, change classes etc.
Then, by the end of the school year, more layoff notices will be sent out and the same thing will happen next school year.
Welcome to CCSD Superintendent Jones.
