A Clark County School District special education transportation aide was arrested Tuesday in connection with a child abuse investigation that began this month, according to district police.
Carmen Morris, 42, was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges of child abuse or neglect and endangerment. The charges are allegations, and court proceedings are ongoing.
Morris has worked for the district since February 2013 and was most recently assigned as a special education transportation aide. Under the district’s negotiated agreement with her bargaining unit, she will be assigned to remain at home without pay, the report said.
