School Overcrowding Meetings
The school district is holding a number of meetings about school overcrowding.
“The community meetings are designed to offer residents an opportunity to provide input about the overcrowding issues and impacts on the 64,000 students who attend school in Washoe County,” according to a statement from the district. “The district is seeking input on issues including how it spends construction and repair funding.
