WCSD to shut down offices as Davis plans return. Davis reacts: 'racial issues' in districtThe Washoe County School District sent an urgent statement to employees Wednesday evening saying it will close down its central offices on Thursday and Friday because Superintendent Traci Davis plans to return to work.
