As the world is aware, The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has immediately changed all of our lives.  Las Vegas and Ward 5 residents and businesses are no exception. It is vitally important that we provide updated and accurate information, as it is changing by the hour.

Because of the President's State of Emergency and the Nevada Governor's State of Emergency declarations, recommendations from the World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's for "social distancing," the Ward 5 office will be working remotely in order to support the worldwide effort to "flatten the curve" and help prevent the spread of the virus.

We will continue to be responsive to all constituents and businesses. Additionally, we will remain vigilant in providing you with as much information as readily available.

Although I do not believe this is a time for panic, it is a time for responsible adherence to our health care professionals' recommendations. We have provided links to various agencies for your convenience and will update them as appropriate.

With a unified effort, we will make it through this tough time. We are “VegasStrong” and will rebound from this pandemic.

Yours in service,

Cedric Crear

Governor Steve Sisolak with Clark County School District Superintendent Dr. Jesus F. Jara

Yesterday, Governor Steve Sisolak announced the difficult decision to close all schools in our state, including Clark County School District schools, effective today. This closure will continue through Monday, April 13, which includes the already scheduled spring break. State health officials will determine if schools are to reopen after April 13.

While no students will be attending school, CCSD essential functions will continue operating throughout the closure, pending potential adjustments based on the changing environment. As the decision to close our schools was made out of an abundance of caution to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we ask parents to keep in mind the recommendations of the Southern Nevada Health District and, as much as possible, please keep your children at home and avoid unnecessary outings. CCSD will continue communicating regularly throughout the closure to keep parents informed. Again, all schools are closed effective today through at least April 13.

CCSD continues to distribute food to students at the following locations, effective today.
