Let’s try looking at a different comparison w/ more context…

Did you know before Jara was Supt, CCSD had a HIGHER 3rd-grade proficiency rate than the rest of Nevada?
It’s true!
But not anymore.
Why wasn’t this mentioned in the evaluation?
The other schools in Nevada went through the same pandemic.

On Thursday @ClarkCountySch will present an update on teacher vacancies to the Board.
The presentation is EXTREMELY misleading.
This thread explains how.

Hard to see here, but CCSD "analysts" added a flat dotted line to make it look like staffing hasn’t changed in 6 years.
They chose to add that line.

This is what the cumulative teacher/licensed staff separations look like in a typical year for CCSD.
They slowly accumulate August through March and then accelerate April through July when staff start to say they’re not coming back next year.

Last year CCSD saw the lowest teacher separations through February of any school year in the last decade.
After the vaccine came out separations accelerated, and separations ended the year above average.
What does it look like this year…

We’ve shared a lot of data about Supt Jara's leadership of CCSD regarding:
1. Broken Trust
2. Teacher Exodus
This thread attempts to address the context some have said we’re missing

TRUST
The community has not trusted CCSD for years, well before Jara became Supt.
Trust was so bad in 2015, Gov. Sandoval signed legislation to break up CCSD.
This ultimately became what is now called the Reorg Law (NRS 388G.500)

In June-October 2018 Superintendent Jara did a listening tour throughout our community.
We were impressed at how well he inserted himself into our community so quickly.
A key takeaway he had from 5 months of listening:
- We must build public trust

It’s rare that an employee is so frustrated w/ CCSD that they say they are leaving because they’re “Dissatisfied with the District”
In a typical year at this point, less than 6 teachers/licensed staff have left for this reason.
Let’s see what it looks like this year…
