A former teacher, family therapist, and lifelong community servant — fighting every day for the students and families of Clark County's east valley.
About Linda
"Our children, families, and educators are real people, not just data points — they all deserve a safe learning and teaching environment, stability with qualified educator retention prioritized, and equitable opportunities for every child in every classroom."
Linda P. Cavazos was first appointed to the Clark County School District Board of Trustees in August 2017, elected to a full term in 2018, and re-elected in 2022. She represents District G — home to 48 schools and approximately 41,000 students across the east valley and Henderson.
Originally from Superior, Arizona, Linda earned her Bachelor's in Secondary Education and Master's in Educational Psychology and Counseling from UNLV. She spent 15 years teaching at Basic High School, nine years as an adjunct faculty member at UNLV, and continues to serve as a part-time family therapist working with children, adolescents, and veterans with PTSD.
She and her husband Bob have five grown children and seven grandchildren, several of whom are CCSD graduates.
Her Platform
Raising academic outcomes through evidence-based programs, strong curriculum, and rigorous accountability that empowers teachers and supports every learner.
Drawing on her background as a family therapist, Linda champions on-campus counseling, social-emotional support, and resources that help students thrive beyond the classroom.
Addressing the root causes of campus violence — not just physical hardening — by investing in restorative practices, community support, and early intervention.
Elected trustees represent their constituents — not the superintendent, not other board members. Linda stays directly connected to the families of District G.
Exercising informed, independent oversight of CCSD's budget — ensuring every dollar is spent to benefit students and classrooms across the district.
Honoring the educators who shape our children's futures through fair compensation, professional development, and a district culture that values their expertise.
Endorsements
Linda has always put students first. Her background as a teacher and therapist gives her a perspective on this board that is irreplaceable. We need her voice for another term.
She fights for the kids no one else is fighting for — the ones struggling with mental health, violence at home, trauma. Linda sees those students and advocates for real solutions.
Her willingness to ask hard questions and hold the district accountable — even when it's unpopular — is exactly what the board needs. Linda doesn't back down from the right thing.
