🚨 WTF Alert 🚨

Time for a thread on the Jara regime’s relationship with truth & transparency

Regarding teacher attrition,
yesterday in the Las Vegas Sun,
Superintendent Jesus Jara allegedly claimed:

“….CCSD was seeing normal, not accelerated, attrition this year.” #WTF

1/?
2/?

Jara’s CCSD has had trouble w/ teacher workforce reality for a while

In March, CCSD told News 3 they were only short 77 teachers. #WTF

REALITY: CCSD started advertising current year vacancies as next year's positions.

Months earlier they told the RJ they were short 850
3/?

At Jara’s State of the Schools speech, he said the proficiency of ALL students would go up by 7% points.

5 DAYS LATER they released a report with their latest data indicating ALL students & ethnicity groups were projected to go DOWN.

#WTF
4/?

At that same State of the Schools speech,

Superintendent Jara wanted us to believe CCSD's low proficiency rates were the community’s problem for declining expectations, lack of involvement, and years of neglect.

Guess who didn’t believe that...
5/?

Before Supt Jara claimed CCSD was going in the wrong direction for years,

Candidate for Superintendent, Jesus Jara, praised the direction CCSD was going & claimed he would “Accelerate the Momentum”

Candidate Jesus Jara would be so disappointed in Superintendent Jesus Jara
6/?

We’re not the only ones who have noticed Jara’s troubled relationship with the truth.

The Governor has called Jara out for misleading the community.
7/?

The RJ called for Jara to be fired because they didn’t believe he was accurate when he said he had a “real clear focus on being No. 1 district for kids.”
8/?

Henderson City Councilman Dan Shaw, lambasted CCSD leadership because the City Council couldn’t get answers from Jara’s CCSD.
9/?

North Las Vegas Mayor, John Lee called out Jara’s CCSD for not following state law.
10/?

Jara has a long history in Vegas of having a troubled relationship with the truth and failing to build trust & confidence with vital partners.
11/?

Despite Jara’s troubled past, we were still SHOCKED to see in the LV Sun that he allegedly claimed:

“….CCSD was seeing normal, not accelerated, attrition this year.”

So, let's look at the FACTS...
12/?

CCSD puts out monthly staffing counts.

This is aggregated data THEY put out.
13/?

CCSD aggregated & reported this data, we just put it in a chart

The drop in licensed staffing counts is happening WHILE CCSD is also hiring people!
Many more are leaving than what is represented in this line.

Last year was the TOP LINE!
This year is the BOTTOM LINE! #WTF
14/?

Every regular Board Meeting CCSD posts a report of all the teaching/licensed staff that leave CCSD.

We’ve downloaded that report from EVERY Board Meeting for the last decade.

This is data THEY put out.
15/?

This chart shows how the names in those reports (prior tweet) add up from August through July

This school year, the one Jara allegedly claims does NOT have accelerated teacher attrition, is in red #WTF

School years 2011-12 through 2020-21 are in grey
16/?

We’ve heard Jara apologists say this data (which is their data) is biased.

Not sure what they mean.
Perhaps they think we cherry-picked the time period???

Let’s try looking at the data in a different way...
17/?

Instead of us picking a time period, here's a rolling time period

Each point shows the # of separation announcements from that month + the 11 that preceded it

It's a rolling 12-month sum. No bias. Just transparency.
18/?

If you’re a teacher,

& you see this crazy teacher attrition data,

& your Supt says teacher attrition is normal & not accelerated

you might think he does NOT have a plan

Boy, would you be wrong!

#WTF
#TheEmporerHasNoClothes
19/?

CCSD has a multi-million-dollar data team
CCSD has a multi-million-dollar HR team
CCSD has a multi-million-dollar Communications team

WTF is this?

#HotAir #VegasSummer
20/?

How do you pay over $430,000 a year for a Superintendent to lead a district with a teacher staffing problem and

AFTER 4 school years his NEXT step is to CONSIDER incentives???

That’s the NEXT step?
They haven’t even started to CONSIDER?
#Bamboozled
21/?

He’s been the Superintendent for 4 YEARS!

His NEXT step is to COMMIT to building the capacity of new teachers.

How has he not committed to that for 4 years???

WTF, have they been doing to new teachers for the last 4 years?
22/?

Superintendent Jara is going to optimize internal staff to support the retention of existing staff.

But WHO is going to support the retention of the optimized staff???
#NextNextStep
23/?

Next step, continue the old step.

#DontMarketItToVeteranTeachers
24/?

No measurable outcomes.
No goals of what impact any of this may have.
No timelines of when any of this may OR may not happen.

Million $ data team
Million $ HR team
Million $ Comm team

#WatchYourWallet
25/25

As long as there are buyers, the snake oil sales will continue.

There is NO plan.
There is NO leadership.
The children are the victims!

🚨 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.

🚨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

1/?
2/?

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.
