Clark County School District has started work on a $150 million pre-K-through-8 campus at Cashman, a major bet on a different kind of school design for central Las Vegas.
Clark County School District has broken ground on a $150 million consolidated pre-K-8 campus at Cashman, according to the Las Vegas Sun. The project is notable not just for its price tag, but for the rare model it brings to the district: elementary and middle school grades under one roof.
For families, that means a single campus experience instead of the usual handoff between separate schools. In a district as large and spread out as CCSD, that kind of setup can simplify schedules, drop-offs and the daily logistics that shape working parents’ lives.
The Sun reported the groundbreaking took place Wednesday. The new campus also signals continued investment in downtown and nearby neighborhoods, where school facilities often carry outsized weight in shaping whether families choose to stay, move or settle in the area.
As the valley keeps growing, school construction has become one of the clearest markers of where public money is flowing. The Cashman project suggests district leaders see room for a more integrated approach to serving younger students in the urban core.
