Meet the candidates who want to bring change to the Clark County schools

Regardless of the outcomes of the general election, the Clark County School Board will look markedly different next year — there will be at least three new trustees joining the 11-member board after three of the four elected incumbents decided not to run again.

That includes former Trustee Katie Williams, who resigned in September after law enforcement officials found she had moved to Nebraska and was no longer eligible to serve.

The winners of the race could establish a new majority on the school board and will have a hand in hiring the new leader of the Clark County School District (CCSD) after the board voted to push the superintendent search to next year because of the seat left vacant by Williams’ resignation.

Two of the most heated school board races, for seats representing Districts B and E, are overshadowed by culture war issues as two former members of Moms for Liberty — a controversial, conservative parents’ group that has pushed for book bans and opposed policies related to LGBTQ+ students — face two former teachers who are against what that group stands for.
