About this episode
The episode discusses the Clark County School District's five-year plan amidst a budget crisis, along with issues related to homelessness and a red light camera experiment.
Staring down a budget crisis, falling test scores and tumbling enrollment data, the Clark County School District’s recently-released five-year-plan is committing to solving those problems and more. But can it be done? Nevada Current Reporters April Corbin Girnus and Michael “MJ” Lyle join host Jesse Merrick to find out. Plus, the team dives into the county’s “whack-a-mole” approach to solving homeless encampments, and whether a new experiment with red light cameras is all it's cracked up to be.
