Controversy Surrounds CCSD Board Member's Comments on LGBTQ+ and Black Communities

Charleston County school board member Carlotte Bailey is facing calls for her resignation after video recordings were released in which she allegedly denies the existence of gay children and blames Black parents for racial achievement gaps in schools. Activist Elvin Speights posted the recordings on Facebook, prompting community leaders to condemn Bailey's remarks. Bailey has not responded to requests for comment. The recordings also reveal Bailey's opposition to discussions about sexuality in the classroom and her support for overhauling the district's health advisory committee. The controversy comes after the board voted to suspend Superintendent Eric Gallien, who has since sued the district for breach of contract.

CCSD Trustees Walk Out as Teacher Rallies Disrupt Board Meeting

Members of the Clark County Education Association (CCEA) rallied at a CCSD Board of Trustees meeting to protest teacher pay and contracts. The board walked out multiple times during the meeting, and police eventually told union members the meeting was over. Disputes over teacher contracts continue, with the district offering a 7% pay increase in year one and a 1% adjustment in year two, while the union is pushing for a 10% pay bump in the first year and an 8% increase in the second year. Teachers are demanding fair compensation to keep up with the rising cost of living in Southern Nevada.
