🔍🔍Data Investigation 🔎🔎

After not sharing parent & staff feedback on the Districtwide survey for over a year, CCSD finally posted some old data.

Let’s investigate to see what they may have been hiding from the public!

Posting survey results on their website is required of CCSD by Nevada law.

We originally called them out for this in December 2020.

#WheresTheData #ComplianceDefiance Image
3/?
We called CCSD out again in Aug. of 2021

They still had not posted results for 2019-20
nor 2020-2021

By law, the results from the prior school year are to be posted by the start of the following school year

e.g., 2020-21 results posted by Aug 9, 2021.

To date CCSD still hasn’t posted data for 2020-2021 (in violation of Reorg Law)

However, we believe at some point last month they posted results for 2019-20 (over a year late)

So, let’s look at what’s there... Image
5/?
Parents & staff love their schools & don’t trust the District.

But this is from 2020. How does the community feel now… Image
6/?
Jara’s Chief of Staff said of getting public feedback on ESSER spending:

"We heard throughout the entire process…the lack of trust people feel towards the District"

Not a few times,
throughout the months-long process, they heard about the community's lack of trust of CCSD Image
7/?
CCSD also has survey results for the central office.

Let’s see what people who presumably know the district’s secrets think:

- General Counsel
- Police Services
- Data Department

Do they trust CCSD? Image
8/?
Wow!

Of the 6 administrators in the General Counsel’s office (Lawyers in CCSD Legal Department), 4 of them do NOT think CCSD is transparent & open.

And 2 of the 6 do NOT think CCSD is a credible source of information!!! Image
9/?
👀

Approximately half of the staff in Police Services don’t think CCSD is credible or transparent about how it operates.

Police services do not think CCSD is transparent about what is going on??? Image
10/?
🤯🤯🤯

About half of the staff who work in CCSD’s data division don’t think CCSD is transparent & open about how it operates.

Less than 2 in 3 think CCSD is a credible source for information.

These are the people primarily in charge of the information! Image
11/?
That bears repeating,

Less than 2 in 3 people surveyed in the division that is responsible for accurate data reporting to the community think CCSD is a credible source of information.

They're also responsible for providing data to the Board 👀 Image
12/?

To recap:

CCSD has not posted survey results as required by law

Old results show school staff & parents don’t trust CCSD

Those perceptions are validated by recent central office staff who would presumably know:
- Legal
- Police
- & Data Divisions Image
13/13
Enough is enough.

It’s time for new leadership we can trust!

Our community deserves better.
Our parents deserve better.
Our children deserve better.

The Twitter account for the Superintendent of the 5th largest school district in the US allegedly posted a crude, misogynistic message.

We don’t know if it’s real, fake, or a hack.

But we’re good at going through data, so let’s review what’s out there…

5:41am @Kbelknap822 takes a screenshot of the tweet that was posted 20 seconds earlier

25 minutes later, at 6:06 AM, Kenny posted the screenshot

Seems unlikely he thought to forge ALL those details

But hard to say for sure🤷‍♂️ Image
@Kbelknap822 3/?

If the screenshot is real, it seems there are 2 options…

Either somebody without access hacked the account and posted the message

OR

Somebody with authorized access to the Superintendent account posted the message Image

🔎Let's Take a Look🔎

How bad have things gotten in CCSD that the Speaker of the State Assembly is calling on Superintendent Jesus Jara to resign?

Let's look at the latest data fiasco.
No, not the data breach…

CCSD just published the teacher vacancies report for last school year.

It reports that CCSD averaged 1,583 vacancies for just general fund teacher/licensed staff positions in schools.

That’s a whopping 12.3% vacancy rate!!! 🤯 Image
3/?

Here are the teacher vacancies CCSD reported for the last 5 years:

2019: 275
2020: 686
2021: 824
2022: 903
2023: 1,583

This is what CCSD reported.
We have done no calculations to aggregate these numbers.
We only put them in a chart. Image

🎄Merry Excusemas🎄

If ifs & buts were candy & nuts, every day would be Christmas for Jara apologists.

"…but COVID"
"...but historically"
"…but but but"

This thread is too long, but let’s get at it…
1/? #NVed #CCSD Image
2/?
“…but COVID”

Yes, reading scores went down for the whole country.

Nevada’s scores dropped DOUBLE the national average, AFTER closing a massive & persistent learning gap

How much of that is attributable to CCSD… Image
3/?

“...but everyone experienced learning loss”

CCSD’s drop in 4th grade reading was over DOUBLE what it was for:

- National public-school average
- Large urban district average
- The rest of Nevada

Yes, everybody had a setback, but it was NOT the same Image

🔥Results Are In🔥

CCSD's Accountability data was released today!

Let's do a quick review of the results & school star ratings...

(1/?) #NVed #CCSD Image

CCSD posted its LOWEST EVER reading proficiency rates on the SBAC

Not surprising... over last couple years:

- Drove out 1,000s of teachers
- Rampant vacancies
- Paid experienced leaders to leave
- Community trust broken
- Teachers & Principals calling for Supt to be fired Image
3/?

Only 1 in 5 kids headed to high school are proficient in math

Not surprising... over last couple years:

- Drove out 1,000s of teachers
- Rampant vacancies
- Paid experienced leaders to leave
- Community trust broken
- Teachers & Principals calling for Supt to be fired Image

💡We may have finally figured out how CCSD produced this completely inaccurate & irresponsible data point.

They have once again shown they have no competence in working with data or communicating with the public.

Read the thread for details…

Here are the official grad rates for the Class of 2022 for all of the high schools in North Las Vegas.

Depending on which schools you include the actual grad rate is between 74% - 85%.

So how did CCSD come up with 51% ???
3/?

You need to add over 1,600 students to NLV’s student count without adding ANY graduates to get the total overall grad rate down to 51.5%

Let’s put that into context…

🚧WRONG WAY🚧
No more excuses!

Read the whole thread to understand how CCSD has been driving #NVed in the WRONG direction

We'll review where we've come from and how we've gotten all turned around
- New national data
- Updated teacher exodus data
And More!

This morning’s NY Times referenced data from The Educational Opportunity Project

They've charted the change in average reading scores since the pandemic

Each dot is a school district

Higher dot, reading performance improved.
Lower dot, reading performance worsened. Image
3/?

The highlighted bubbles represent the 10 largest districts in the US (NY did not have data)

Higher bubbles = Students have done better in reading since the pandemic

Lower bubbles = Students have done worse in reading since the pandemic

Guess which one is Clark County… Image
