Clark County School Board Rates Superintendent Proficient in Final Review

Clark County School District trustees in Las Vegas approved the final performance review for Superintendent Jhone Ebert on Saturday. The board rated her work as proficient for the 2025-26 academic year.

Ebert received an overall score of 2.98 out of a possible 4. The evaluation covered six specific areas: pre-kindergarten, early literacy, middle school math, workforce and college readiness, the district strategic plan, and balanced governance standards. Board President Emily Stevens told members the report captures only part of the year's work. She said the board looks forward to continuing the Destination District initiative with Ebert.

The review follows a year where Ebert claimed the district engaged 50,000 community members in drafting its five-year strategic plan. She also noted that the district added 1,700 pre-kindergarten seats during that time. Ebert stated that middle school math proficiency rose during the 2025-26 school year. She said the district is transforming together despite the long path ahead to reach its goals.

Trustees and the Audit Advisory Committee also met to review the independent audit of the district's financial statements. The audit covered the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The firm Eide Bailly found one noncompliance violation related to state law and regulations. District officials said they have taken corrective action on that issue.

The auditors also identified three weaknesses in internal controls within specific departments. CCSD stated that those departments have created corrective action plans. The districts are currently addressing those weaknesses.

The next scheduled step involves the district continuing to implement the Destination District Strategic Plan while monitoring the audit corrections.
