CCSD is rebuilding more than 30 schools. Here’s how old they are
July 14, 2023 - 6:00 am
About 30 aging Clark County schools will be replaced with new facilities over the next decade.
Projects are through the Clark County School District’s 2015 Capital Improvement Program that allows for issuing bonds to pay for facility needs.
Typically, a replacement school is built on an existing campus and the old building is demolished once the new one is complete.
School employees and students are often temporarily displaced — such as to a “swing” campus like the old Fyfe Elementary School in central Las Vegas — while construction is underway.
To decide which schools to replace, the district considers factors like the building’s physical condition, its ability to support the curriculum and the costs of renovating versus building a new facility.
The district uses a facility condition database to screen schools that are more than 40 years old or need extensive repair.
Here are planned replacement school projects, listed by the year they’re scheduled to open, according to a May update to the district’s Bond Oversight Committee. The information was based on the status of projects as of March. Phased replacement schools and projects already completed aren’t included in the list below.
