The Clark County School District has cited state law as the reason it told principals to readjust their schools’ budgets as a potential deficit looms. But the head of the Nevada Department of Education said the onus should fall on the district itself,

Joe Lombardo’s office released a letter today that he sent to state Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzarro, D-Las Vegas, requesting an ongoing state performance audit of CCSD to include the recently identified potential budget shortfalls “so that we can identify ways to address these issues in the long-term.

Now, Gov. Joe Lombardo is getting involved by calling on state resources to investigate the district's budget issues present throughout Clark County schools.

Governor Lombardo issued a public letter Thursday asking for Clark County School District's budget shortfalls to be included in an ongoing audit.
