🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

On Thursday @ClarkCountySch will present an update on teacher vacancies to the Board.

The presentation is EXTREMELY misleading.
This thread explains how.

WARNING: This thread contains a lot of data, but you should still read the WHOLE thread.

Here's the 1st chart on teacher/licensed staff counts in CCSD's presentation

Look at the chart & see if it conveys the BIGGEST headlines about CCSD's teacher workforce
#IntentionalChoices
3/?

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.
#IntentionalChoices
4/?

CCSD “analysts” chose to plot data for the month of October.

They have data for the next 8 months they are not showing.

Next, we'll chart more data points for a clearer picture.
#IntentionalChoices
5/?

We’re using the same data reports as CCSD.

We’re showing all months Oct-May for each school year.

Can you see how different this year is?
Could you see it in CCSD’s chart?
6/?

CCSD wants you to focus on the small change between Oct 2016 and 2022 on the left.

They don’t want you looking at the massive and relevant year-over-year drop that’s ~10 TIMES BIGGER on the right!
#IntentionalChoices
7/?
Seriously!

That small drop is what they INTENTIONALLY CHOSE to highlight in their report.

Not the relevant drop that is ~10x’s bigger year over year.

P.S.
It’s even bigger if we look at June
(we didn’t because it’s outside the school year)
8/?

How can you have a presentation about the current state of teaching positions WITHOUT talking about the ongoing record exodus of your teachers???

Since they refuse to tell you about it, we will...
#IntentionalChoices
9/?

Every Board Meeting CCSD posts a list of teachers/licensed staff leaving CCSD

This chart shows the avg cumulative separations by month from 2011-12 through 2019-20

It's showing how the staff from those reports add up through the school year until it hits the total in July.
10/?
Last year CCSD saw the fewest teacher separations through February of any school year in the last decade.

After the vaccine came out, separations accelerated and ended the year above average.

Next, let’s see what it looks like this year…
11/?

This is just through June.

There will be another report in July.

This will go HIGHER. #OffTheCharts

CCSD chose not to share any of this in the vacancy update
#IntentionalChoices #NVed
12/?

For transparency’s sake, this chart displays the teacher/licensed separations for every school year since 2011-12.

Do you see why we’ve been sounding the alarm ALL YEAR?

They are intentionally choosing not to talk about this.
#IntentionalChoices #CCSD
13/?

How can you have a presentation about the current state of teaching vacancies WITHOUT talking about WHY teachers are leaving???

Since they refuse to tell you about it, we will...
#IntentionalChoices
14/?

5 TIMES MORE teachers left CCSD because they were “Dissatisfied with the District” than in a typical year

MORE than the next 3 HIGHEST YEARS COMBINED!

But you can’t tell that from CCSD's chart they made to look like staffing hasn’t changed in 6 yrs

#IntentionalChoices
15/?

We’ve just shown that CCSD is experiencing the BIGGEST teacher exodus they have EVER experienced.

Teachers are more frustrated with the district than they have EVER been.

Despite this, let’s see what CCSD’s findings were…
#IntentionalChoices
16/?

CCSD’s “Initial Findings” did NOT find the record exodus of their teachers #IntentionalChoices

Instead, there aren’t enough people to hire
&
Schools hire non-classroom staff

CCSD leadership CHOOSES to blame principals rather than acknowledge their own colossal failure
17/?

CCSD is aware of the claim they're admin top heavy

Here they divert your attention to believe it’s all in the schools

Diverting blame to principals is a hallmark of CCSD leadership

Once again, they are NOT showing you the most current data
#IntentionalChoices
18/?

Can you tell from this chart that CCSD employs more administrators than EVER?

Of course not.

That’s NOT the story they want to tell you.
#IntentionalChoices
19/?

If they added the current data (chart on the right), it would mess up their trendline story.

CCSD can’t have pesky facts getting in the way of a good story.
#IntentionalChoices
20/?

Not only does CCSD have more admin than ever, but they’re also paying District leadership more than EVER.

Jara’s Chief HR pick (a fellow Florida alum) inked a deal for $50k MORE than the prior Chief HR salary

Is Jara using our tax $ to pay for talent or obedience?
21/?

This is their BEST foot forward:

Vacancies aren't really a problem because students are leaving faster than our teachers can find another job 🤯
22/?

Imagine the conversation below happening between a Board of Directors & their CEO

Do you see how stupid this is?

Would you invest in this company?
Would you give the CEO a raise & $1.5 million?
Would you even continue to employ this CEO?
23/?

Taxpayers gave CCSD more $ than ever

CCSD created more positions
But more people keep quitting

The massive drop in enrollment is NOT the reason for the drop in teachers

BOTH are caused by anger w/ District leadership!
24/?

It’s time for tough questions!

CCSD’s presentation on teacher vacancies is misleading

It is presented to the Board of Trustees

@CCSD_Trustees, are you being misled OR
Are you misleading the public?

#NowItsYourChoice
25/25

The longer people allow this to go on and don’t open their eyes to what’s really happening,

the longer the children of our community continue to suffer.

🚨BREAKING🚨

CCSD’s latest teacher separation report is out.

It's bad and we are in uncharted territory.

Read the whole thread to find out who knew what when.
#CCSD #NVed

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.
#AverageAttrition
3/?

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…

🚨🚨 Sound the Alarm… Again🚨🚨

The Clark County School District is still losing teachers/licensed staff faster than ever before!

It’s so much worse than you think.

Read the whole thread!

1/? #NVed
2/?

From Aug. through Jan. there have been 67% more licensed/teaching staff separations than a typical year over the same time period.

Almost 300 more than the next highest year!
3/?
There is a MUCH BIGGER difference between licensed staff quitting this year and the next highest year than between the next highest year and the lowest year over the last decade!

There is an unprecedented exit of teachers from CCSD this year!

WARNING: Long Thread

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

Let's add some context...

1/?
#NVed #CCSD
2/?
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)
3/?
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

🔍🔍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!

1/?
#NVed #CCSD Image
2/?
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.

🚨🚨Sound the Alarm🚨🚨

The Clark County School District, under the leadership of Jesus Jara, is losing teachers/licensed staff faster than ever before!

This thread reviews the latest data!
1/?
#NVed #CCSD
2/?
We’re in the 3rd month of the school year & 664 teachers/licensed staff have announced they're leaving CCSD.

- 66% more than a typical year
- 31% more than the next highest year
3/?
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…
