CCSD Board Rates Superintendent Ebert 'Proficient' as Audit Flags One Violation, Three Control Weaknesses
Clark County School District trustees approved Superintendent Jhone Ebert's 2025-26 evaluation with an overall score of 2.98 out of 4, while a joint meeting with the Audit Advisory Committee reviewed an independent audit that found one state-law compliance violation and three internal control weaknesses.
The Clark County School District Board of School Trustees voted to approve Superintendent Jhone Ebert's final evaluation for the 2025-26 school year, rating her overall performance as proficient with a score of 2.98 out of 4.
The evaluation measured Ebert across six categories: pre-kindergarten, early literacy, middle school math, workforce and college readiness, the district's strategic plan, and balanced governance standards.
"The Board realizes that the report does not contain all of the accomplishments over the past year, and we look forward to continuing on the journey of the Destination District with Superintendent Ebert," board President Emily Stevens said.
Ebert, in remarks to the board, pointed to several district initiatives from the past year. She said CCSD engaged 50,000 community members in developing its five-year Destination District Strategic Plan and added 1,700 pre-kindergarten seats. She also reported that middle school math proficiency rose during the 2025-26 school year.
"We have a long way to go to realize the vision laid out in the Destination District Strategic Plan, but we are well on our way to transforming our district - together," Ebert said.
In a joint meeting with the Audit Advisory Committee, trustees also reviewed an independent audit of the district's financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The auditing firm Eide Bailly identified one noncompliance violation tied to state law and regulations; district officials said corrective action has been taken. The auditor also flagged three areas of weakness in internal controls within specific departments, and CCSD said those departments have developed corrective action plans and begun addressing the issues.
The evaluation and audit review come as the district continues implementing its five-year strategic plan, which aims to reshape academic outcomes and operations across the nation's fifth-largest school system.
