LAS VEGAS (KSNV MyNews3) -- The Clark County School District is reacting after voters said no on Tuesday to raising taxes for school improvements.

In a posting on the School District website last month, Superintendent Dwight Jones said “the District will build two new schools to reduce overcrowding if Question 2 passes. If Question 2 does not pass, we’ve identified two possible solutions.

“First, we are considering busing students out of the area to other schools. The other option is to convert some campuses to year-round schools.”

News 3’s Krystal Allan and Marissa Mike have more information.

I have a lot of respect for Mr. Jones, I think he is on the right track, but to hang the repair of schools on homeowners was wrong. How can anyone hang one segment of the population responsible and accountable for repairing our public schools, what about the rest of the county???? If the measure was written to raise the sale tax .05%, I would have voted yes, because every citizen in Clark County would share the responsibility, it would raise more tax revenue, and it was the right thing to do. I wish the school district would study and know its audience, it would save time and money.
