The Clark County School District (CCSD) is a school district that serves all of Clark County, Nevada, including the cities of Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Boulder City; as well as the census-designated places of Laughlin, Blue Diamond, Logandale, Bunkerville, Goodsprings, Indian Springs, Mount Charleston, Moapa, Searchlight, and Sandy Valley, as well as Mesquite.

Gray believed the district would be larger than the state highway department with 1,300 employees and an annual budget of $7,250,000.

Prior to 1956, each of the individual school districts in the county ran independent of each other, serving their respective cities and/or CDPs.

Due to the large number of families moving into the Las Vegas area, the school district saw tremendous growth in student enrollment from the 1990s through 2007.

[6] Three weeks went by with a failure to address the situation and the Clark County School Districts lack of transparency in notifying the parents/guardians that their children's information had been exposed.

Directly reporting to the Senior Deputy Superintendent of School Instruction The school district is governed by a seven-member board of trustees elected from sections of the county plus four non-voting members appointed by the Clark County Commission and the city councils of Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas respectively.

Due to tourism, the area generates twice the national average of 3 gallons of grease per resident per year, making this a reliable feed source for biodiesel fuel.

It is suggested that students susceptible to health conditions related to heat and/or air-quality receive transportation to school.

These schools are usually with one directional hallways with several different "wings" with each hosting different subjects (i.e., 100's Language Arts, 200's Mathematics, 300's Science).

In May 2023, the district's Bond Oversight Committee announced plans to rebuild 30 aging schools by 2034.

[14] The district also adds portable classrooms, which are modular buildings, at many schools to provide additional space for classes.
