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 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.

Mental Health & Wellness

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.

Safe Schools

Addressing the root causes of campus violence — not just physical hardening — by investing in restorative practices, community support, and early intervention.

💰

Fiscal Oversight

Exercising informed, independent oversight of CCSD's budget — ensuring every dollar is spent to benefit students and classrooms across the district.
