About Linda

Rooted in Community. Driven by Students.

"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

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 grew up in a working-class family where education was everything. With the help of loans and scholarships, she attended Arizona State University before earning her Bachelor's in Secondary Education and Master's in Educational Psychology and Counseling from UNLV.

Linda spent 15 years teaching at Basic High School, nine years as an adjunct faculty member at UNLV supervising student teachers, and continues to serve as a part-time family therapist — working with young children, adolescents, survivors of gun violence, and veterans with PTSD. She and her husband Bob have five grown children and seven grandchildren, several of whom are CCSD graduates.
