Trustee Wright believes that education is the best investment Nevadans can make for their future. Her firm belief is that investing in education now will help build a stronger foundation for Nevada in the future. The mission of the Clark County School District; to ensure that all students will graduate from high school prepared for the work force, trade school, or college; is something that Mrs. Wright takes very seriously. She constantly works to secure more dollars for education, while also shaping policy to ensure meaningful and discerning changes for the District.
