Las Vegas Schools Open New Schools and Employ New Teachers
New Schools Equal New Hires
Las Vegas Schools have ten new schools opening for the 2006-2007 school year. Nine are brand new schools, although one is a replacement of Rancho High School. This is part of a lengthy term strategy to meet student population demands and produce contemporary facilities. The schools opening in August are six elementary schools, two middle schools about bullying in schools and two anti bullying assembly high schools. The new elementary schools are Hayden Elementary, Schorr Elementary, Steele Elementary, Thompson Elementary, Ward Elementary and Wright Elementary. The middle schools are Johnston and Tarkanian and the high schools are the new Legacy High School and the replacement Rancho High School. All these new schools produce the want for a lot more teacher and assistance staff. With this in mind Las Vegas Schools is engaging in a quite active recruitment process such as holding a recruitment fair this summer to be held at the Desert Rose Adult High School. In the region of academic staff Las Vegas Schools are hiring over one thousand new staff and teachers. But academic staff are not the only ones needed to keep a school operating. These new member schools of Las Vegas Schools are also in need of bus drivers, transportation aides, car mechanics and substitute food service workers.
The New Rancho High School
The newest edition to Las Vegas Schools is the placement of the old Rancho High School. The new design may seem surprisingly familiar to the students. The new Rancho High School is based on the same style used in most suburban shopping malls. The new 330,000 square foot school was built on the web site of the former schools athletic field. The old school will be torn down later in the school year. The new Rancho High School follows a two story mall style and the total constructing price was about $75 million. The cash came from the Las Vegas Schools $3.five billion capital improvement program approved by voters in 1998. The new style did cause a little concern but it actually creates a extremely functional and friendly space which can add to the success of a school. The Rancho High School principal plans to divide the school into four distinct sections every with its own assistant principal and student services. These sections will possibly be divided based on grade level or program type. Rancho High School is well recognized for its magnet programs that aim towards the medical and aviation fields. These magnet programs will have new offices and unique facilities on the new Ranch High School campus. The ROTC will also have a new location. The Rancho High School ROTC is 1 of the largest in the U.S. and the facility will be in a position to accommodate more than five hundred students. The Ranch High School replacement is part of a extended term replacement plan by Las Vegas schools. The program was to replace 5 current schools Sunrise Acres Elementary, Wendell Williams Elementary and Rancho High School are the 1st three with Booker Elementary and Virgin Valley Elementary to adhere to.
Rancho High School is Second to Have Mall Design
Rancho High School is the second Las Vegas School to have the mall style. The first was at Buffalo and Grand Teton. The mall style creates a new and special space that supplies organic light and fresh air to the classrooms while generating a more secure environment than a traditional school style. Each the present principal and the bully prevention programs in schools president of the construction firm creating the new school are former Rancho High School graduates, who are really pleased with the contemporary replacement.
