Clark County School District Superintendent Jesus Jara will hold more than a dozen “Java with Jara” community meetings this month and in August.

Community members are invited to attend a session to “discuss issues that matter to you and your family, including the impact of the recent legislative session on K-12 education,” the district said in a Friday post on Twitter.
