Thousands of new residents, hundreds of new
homes, and dozens of new communities all add up to one thing: an ongoing
need for schools and teachers.  Today, the Clark County School District
ranks as the sixth-largest school district in the United States.  To
keep pace, the district's building program provides approximately $3.5
billion to construct 88 new schools through 2008, while improving every area
school already in existence.  These number are indicative of the
commitment make to education by southern Nevada politicians, voters,
educators and the private sector.

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), a
premier urban university with more than 40 years of community service, is in
the midst of a 10-year, campus-wide planning effort.  New university
buildings include a five-story, $55 million library.  In 1998, UNLV
joined the ranks of only 165 universities in America offering a law school,
and a new school of dentistry is now under construction.  The Community
College of Southern Nevada (CCSN) is also expanding, and there are several
acclaimed junior colleges and vocational schools located throughout the Las
Vegas Valley.
