MEET KARL WITH A “K”

Rooted in humble beginnings, Karl’s dedication to K-12 education stems from a deep-rooted passion for ensuring the brightest future for every student.

After graduating from Valley High School, Karl epitomized the spirit of self-reliance by working his way through college. Not only did he earn his academic credentials, but he also secured certificates in leadership from the University of Nevada – Las Vegas and education finance strategy from McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University.

Born and raised in our community, Karl’s impact is recognized and respected across Clark County, Nevada. The Las Vegas Sun commends his “impressive grasp of the issues in the state” and encourages readers to learn more about him.

Karl’s advocacy has transcended different industries, ensuring that Nevadans receive the benefits they deserve and the results they need. He is not just another candidate for public office; he is a dedicated advocate for common-sense leadership. 

A native Nevadan, Karl absorbed the essence of his convictions from his family, particularly his mother, an esteemed special education teacher in the Clark County School District, and other family members dedicated to public service in local county government.

Karl Catarata is not just an experienced public servant, non-profit professional, and mentor; he is the embodiment of Nevada’s commitment to its youth. 

With a rich history of service at various levels of Nevada government, Karl is stepping up to serve our families in his run for the Clark County School District Board of Trustees, District A. 

His motivation is clear – he believes in providing every child in Nevada with an opportunity to succeed.

We’re #TeamKarl - we rise above the noise and focus on our families. At the end of the day, our children are our future, and we need a true leader who prioritizes the voices of parents and the success of our students.

In contrast to his opponents, Karl isn't a career politician or a wealthy businessman. He’s one of us: a dedicated advocate for CCSD students, the son of a teacher, a graduate of public schools, and our neighbor here in Henderson. He will diligently listen to parents and our ideas, and he will advocate fiercely for our teachers to ensure they feel valued in our community. Let’s elect someone who cares about all of us!

REAL SOLUTIONS TO REAL ISSUES IMPACTING OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT

  • To enhance school safety for our students, we must prioritize effective communication among law enforcement, educators, and parents, exemplified by providing safety buttons in classrooms.

    Road safety is critical, with over 100 students injured in school zones this year; I will advocate for collaborative efforts with law enforcement to reduce reckless driving.

    Campus safety is personal to me, stemming from my experience surviving bullets being fired my way. We need to keep our students safe.

    Additionally, I aim to foster early intervention initiatives and boost parent engagement through regular feedback opportunities. I will hold Trustees accountable to tackle these vital safety issues in our community.

  • At the heart of my campaign is a commitment to ensure all students succeed at school.

    By fostering partnerships with local organizations, I will implement initiatives that address learning gaps and promote engagement, ensuring all students have the tools they need to thrive.

    Together, we can build a brighter future where every student can reach their full potential.

  • Nevada’s high teacher turnover and vacancy rates require immediate action from school board members and district leaders.

    To retain teachers, I propose addressing key factors such as mentorship, school leadership, financial incentives, and safe working conditions.

    Implementing mentorship programs for new teachers can foster community and support, while investing in leadership training will empower principals to effectively support their staff. Competitive salaries and performance-based bonuses are essential to incentivize retention. Additionally, creating safe and supportive environments where teachers feel valued and addressing their concerns promptly is crucial.

    By engaging with parents and local organizations, we can build a supportive network that enhances teacher retention, ultimately benefiting our students and their education.
