LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Former Clark County School District Trustee Katie Williams moved out of Nevada in April — and enrolled her child in a school system more than 1,000 miles away — five months before she officially resigned her position, according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained Tuesday.
Williams, who lived in North Las Vegas, represented District B on CCSD’s school board since 2020. Williams resigned on Sept. 11, hours after the Clark County District Attorney’s Office moved to remove her.
Nevada state law requires each school district trustee reside in the election district which the trustee represents and be elected by the voters of that election district, according to court documents.
In March, 8 News Now first reported Williams had not attended at least 14 board meetings in-person. She would instead opt to call in. At the time, Williams said she was working remotely for a job that required her to travel between Utah, California and Nebraska.
8 News Now’s reporting prompted five trustees to write a letter to Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson in June to investigate if Williams still lived in the state and her district. The investigative documents 8 News Now obtained Tuesday through a public records request mention the “media attention” from 8 News Now in March.
