LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – The Clark County School District confirmed a potential budget deficit, citing ‘unanticipated spending.’
According to the district, litigation and cyber security expenses have increased demand from the budget.
Typically, the scheduled accounting year-end close-out cycle process takes place through mid-October.
The district shared that the “possible deficit” has not impacted the fall school budget, but school leaders were notified.

This includes the teacher and employee increase of $5,700.
District leaders said as-risk funds were also calculated and corrected.
“Our commitment to transparently serving and supporting schools led us to work with principals throughout the process,” CCSD expressed.
