It was sent to trustees by Donald Harris, a former employee who retired last week.
The letter accused Associate Superintendent Edward Goldman of gaining power by collecting and leveraging information about his colleagues.
The documents allege that Goldman effectively controls the district.
Goldman told the Review-Journal that the letter is full of inaccuracies and outright lies. He denied that he collects compromising information.
3. Two people are rescued after a car crashed into a lake in the Desert Shores community.
It happened last night in northwest Las Vegas.
A man and woman managed to get out of the car and onto the roof. One of them couldn’t swim, so they waited for help. Firefighters used a hose to pull them back to shore.
No one was injured, but the pair were hospitalized as a precaution.
Police say impairment may have been a factor.
