Paradise Valley Democrats Demand School Board Reapportionment
Paradise Valley Democratic Club calls for immediate Clark County School Board reapportionment on an equal population basis. Club president Jim Fletcher says about 100000 Valley residents are under represented, with Paradise Valley and Moapa Valley each having one seat despite Moapa’s 5000 population. He frames the issue as equal rights for residents and urges cross party participation to resolve the chaotic school system and the board’s prior refusal to redraw.
