Former CCSD CFO Jason Goudie faces domestic violence charges, including strangulation
Jason Goudie, the former Clark County School District chief financial officer, has been bound over to District Court on charges of battery by strangulation, coercion constituting domestic violence, and first-offense domestic battery stemming from a September incident. He is scheduled for arraignment Nov. 17 and is being held on $19,000 cash bond with conditions including no contact with the victim and no alcohol.
LAS VEGAS â Jason Goudie, the former chief financial officer of the Clark County School District, is facing domestic violence charges after waiving his right to a preliminary hearing and being bound over to District Court on all counts.
Goudie is charged with battery by strangulation, coercion constituting domestic violence, and first-offense domestic battery, according to court records. The charges stem from an alleged incident on Sept. 21.
A criminal complaint alleges that Goudie strangled the victim, used or threatened physical force to prevent the victim from leaving, and slammed the victim's head against a wall and/or the ground.
Goudie waived his preliminary hearing on Nov. 10, and the case was transferred to District Court. He is scheduled to appear for an arraignment on Nov. 17.
Court records list a $19,000 cash bond and conditions that include no contact with the victim, with a limited exception for written business or financial matters, and no possession or consumption of alcohol.
The charges mark a significant fall for a former top administrator at the nation's fifth-largest school district. Goudie was fired from CCSD in 2024 amid district budget concerns, though at the time it could not be confirmed whether his termination was connected to those issues.
The case is being prosecuted in Clark County District Court. Domestic violence advocates note that strangulation is a particularly dangerous form of abuse and a significant risk factor for future violence.
Goudie is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
