CCSD board weighs $127M in capital contracts; audit committee reviews 2026-27 plan
The Clark County School District Board of Trustees met twice in the past week, taking up a $127 million capital improvement package, legislative priorities, and school traffic safety, though no final votes have been confirmed because minutes have not yet been published. The district's Audit Advisory Committee also met to shape its upcoming audit plan.
Board work session (Aug. 5)
The board held a procedural work session to review the School Traffic Safety Working Group Final Report, discuss draft bills for the 2027 Nevada Legislature, and receive an update on trustee community engagement meetings. No formal decisions were required or made.
Regular board meeting (Aug. 13)
The board's consent agenda included:
- **Capital improvement contracts** totaling **$127,107,379.08**
- **Purchasing awards** estimated at **$24,024,459.07**
- **Purchase orders** of **$10,189,339.79**
- Hiring **Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP** as bond counsel for up to **$170,500**
- Renewing a memorandum of agreement with **After-School All-Stars Las Vegas** through June 2029
- Amending **Policy 6110 and Regulation 6110** (School Day)
- Interviews and appointment to the Audit Advisory Committee
These items were on the agenda for consideration; the board's minutes have not yet been published, so the outcomes are not confirmed.
Audit Advisory Committee (Aug. 14)
The committee met to elect a chairperson for the 2026-27 fiscal year, approve minutes from its Feb. 18, 2026 meeting, and review the internal audit department's risk assessment. It also considered approval of the 2026-27 audit plan and rolling audit plan, and heard updates on internal audit work. Public comment was limited to items not on the agenda.
Coming up
- **Bond Oversight Committee** – Aug. 18. The committee will elect officers, review the 2015 Capital Improvement Program's financial status, and approve minutes from May 19, 2026. It will also receive informational updates on two construction contracts: **$51.76 million** to CORE West for the Matt Kelly Elementary replacement and **$90.74 million** to Martin-Harris for the Indian Springs school replacement. These are informational only and not up for committee action.
