Confounding texts, private school blessings make for muddled choice in school board race

Voters looking for a clear and obvious champion of traditional public schools may feel forced to pick the lesser of two evils in one of the races for the Clark County School Board.

Only 361 votes separated Emily Stevens and Karl Catarata in the five-candidate primary for District A in June. Stevens placed first, with 25.7% of votes. Catarata placed second with 24.8%.

Trustee Lisa Guzman currently represents the district, which includes much of Henderson, as well as Boulder City and Laughlin. Guzman, who is finishing her first term, did not file for reelection.

Catarata would not agree to an interview unless he received questions in advance, which the Current would not agree to for any school board candidates. He provided written responses to emailed questions.
