LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – District attorney Steve Wolfson has informed Clark County School District trustee Katie Williams to vacate her office.
Williams is not a Nevada resident, which according to a letter disqualifies her from serving.
In a letter dated Wednesday, DA Wolfson tells Williams her “ceasing to be an actual resident of the State of Nevada and ceasing to be a resident of District B of CCSD,” is the reasoning behind the decision. Wolfson quotes the Nevada law tied to the matter.
The letter states she has until September 9 to relinquish her office.
Back in early June Williams released a statement saying her schedule has become more difficult as a single working mom and citizen-soldier.
“Even while traveling for work, I make sure to continue to attend meetings and represent the best interests of the voters. The unelected appointees who are spearheading this political stunt are out of line; I’m putting them on notice now. I am not going anywhere, and I will finish the job that an overwhelming majority of District B voters sent me to do,” Williams explained.
The Clark County DA says Williams has until September 9 to relinquish her office.
Clark County Education Association released a statement on social media calling out Williams and other members of the board.
Williams is not up for reelection.
There is a CCSD Board of Trustees work session Wednesday evening.
