The implication of a revised funding formula is that school districts and
teachers will receive substantially more money. But revising the funding formula will only
rearrange who gets the existing money. In 2016, Nevada’s smallest five school districts received

The Right Take: Source CCSD Bigwig Showed Up To Jason Wright’s Meeting

Why would Kim Wooden, deputy superintendent of the Clark County School District, attend a disciplinary meeting for second-year teacher Jason Wright?
