School Organizational Teams in CCSD

School Organizational Teams (SOT) are required at schools within the Clark County School District (CCSD) as part of the reorganization of large school districts created in state law after the passage of AB 469. SOTs include parents, teachers, support staff, community members and at secondary schools students.

Parents and legal guardians are eligible to be members of the SOT at the schools where their children are currently enrolled. CCSD employees cannot serve as the parent/guardian members of the SOT if their child attends the school at which they work. However, those employees may serve as a licensed or support staff member of the SOT at that school. CCSD employees may also serve as a parent/guardian member of a SOT if their child attends a school different from their work location.

According to state law, if a parent organization (PTO) currently exists at a school, they will establish and run the election process for parents. For schools without a parent organization, the school principal will run the election process.  Although PTO is responsible for the election process for the parent representations all parents or guardians are eligible to serve as an SOT member and vote, regardless of PTO membership. The PTO should coordinate with the principal to establish and run the election to ensure it is fully advertised and all parents have the opportunity to participate.
