Continuing coverage: Clark County set to approve donation to Forever One Memorial
Clark County commissioners are expected to approve a $10 million donation today for the Forever One Memorial.
The money will help honor the victims of the 1 October tragedy. The county will release the funds in stages as the project reaches specific building milestones.
Organizers say they have raised about $22 million toward their $34 million goal.
The plan is to break ground this October. The first phase of the memorial should be finished for the 10-year remembrance in 2027.

In education news: CCSD board looking to close elementary school
The longest-operating school in Nevada may soon close its doors.
CCSD trustees are set to vote on the potential closure of GoodSprings Elementary School at their April 23 meeting.
The school is about 30 minutes outside of Las Vegas. right now, there are only two students enrolled and two staffers who use the building, so district leaders believe this move will make the historic building more accessible to the county.
Plus, they say middle and high school students in that area are already zoned for Sandy Valley schools, so this just furthers the feeder alignment.
As for transportation, district officials said reassigning students to Sandy Valley will use existing bus routes and will be cost-neutral. Also, the two staffers have accepted positions within CCSD.
