The Clark County School District held an event for reporters Tuesday at Bell Elementary School in Las Vegas. More than 294,000 students are expected to return to classes Aug. 7.
Demeasa Heard from Sedway Middle School was named the Clark County School District’s “Teacher of the Year” during an awards ceremony Wednesday at the South Point.
The district used about $1.3 million in state grant funding to buy two charging stations and two electric buses, each of which it expects to cost $10 a day in electricity, compared to $50 or $60 a day for diesel fuel.
