Education In The News

Las Vegas Review Journal

By 2031, every Clark County School District student will be graduating with skills and experiences to set them up for success in their careers.

Las Vegas Review Journal

The Clark County School District’s plunging enrollment is a trend with no end in sight. Projections show that school funding could drop by nearly a quarter-billion dollars by 2030 as fewer students enroll to fill district classrooms.

Las Vegas Review Journal

For decades, the Clark County School District was one of the fastest growing school systems in the nation, buoyed by a booming gaming and tourism industry and low housing costs. Just seven years ago, when enrollment peaked, the district boasted 335,333 students in its classrooms. Then came the decline.

The Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) and the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) keep breaking attendance records – by a lot. Eight new professional leagues have launched since 2020, including softball, volleyball, and lacrosse. The optimism around women’s pro sports is so high that accounting firm Deloitte predicts the global women’s sports industry will surpass $3 billion in revenues this year – an increase of 340% since 2022. By all accounts, it’s not a fluke or a fad. And that’s largely because of one key reason: venture capitalists are pouring money into the burgeoning business of women’s sports for the long haul. Notably, many of them are women investors with decades of experience and capital to spend.
