329,000 students

Clark County School District (CCSD) – the fifth-largest school system in the United States – selected Gibson from among six competing firms to conduct a comprehensive educational and operational efficiency assessment. This comprehensive evaluation, conducted in a condensed timeframe (3 months), involved the identification of major cost reduction opportunities, a review of the District’s budget process, development of a data dashboard prototype for performance measure tracking, a review of educational programs and management, and a student performance review. Gibson collected and analyzed over 1,000 documents from CCSD and interviewed approximately 260 CCSD staff members. Gibson identified 45 recommendations for improvement which was estimated that, if fully implemented, would result in annual General Fund net cost reductions of approximately $52 million per year. For this project, Gibson also developed a data dashboard prototype for CCSD to use in performance measure tracking.
