There are several ways a business can partner with the Clark County Schools District (CCSD). Currently the Clark County School District partners with hundreds of public and private sector partners. These partnerships provide resources and curriculum-based opportunities to CCSD students, staff, and parents. These programs allow business and community members to connect schools with resources thus providing literacy, math, social studies, finance, fine arts, science, health, and physical education experiences to students who may otherwise not have the opportunity. The result is a richer educational experience while preparing our students to be well-rounded citizens.

The Clark County School District also works with two organizations that refurbish computers for students in our high need schools. Computers For Kids, Inc. (CFK) is very conscious of keeping electronic equipment out of the landfill and strives to be a good environmental steward, utilizing all that can be refurbished, and properly recycling the rest. CFK believes in community responsibility to reuse existing product, provide for others, and recycle properly. In addition, this program fosters community responsibility. CFK's recycle program provides to businesses and individuals a computer disposal option other than the local landfill. For more information please contact Computer for Kids, Inc. at 208-345-0346 or visit their Web site.
You can also visit the OutlookFoundation's Web site. The Outlook Foundation will repurpose computers and give them to children in need, helping ensure all children have the same opportunities in education and to military personnel being deployed and their families so we can help bridge the communication gap that they would face otherwise.
