Ex-CCSD trustee Katie Williams will not face charges after leaving Nevada

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Former Clark County School District Trustee Katie Williams — who moved out of Nevada in April but continued serving on the school board – will not face any charges, the 8 News Now Investigators confirmed Wednesday.

Williams, who lived in North Las Vegas, represented District B on CCSD’s school board since 2020, now lives in Nebraska. She resigned on Sept. 11, hours after the Clark County District Attorney’s Office moved to remove her. The Las Vegas Metro police officer who investigated Williams suggested prosecutors charge her with “wrongful exercise of official power,” documents said.

On Wednesday, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said his office would not charge Williams.

Nevada state law requires each school district trustee to reside in the election district which the trustee represents and be elected by the voters of that election district, according to court documents.

In March, 8 News Now first reported Williams had not attended at least 14 board meetings in-person. She would instead opt to call in. At the time, Williams said she was working remotely for a job that required her to travel between Utah, California and Nebraska.

The police investigation, which started in June, found Williams likely moved to Nebraska full-time in April. Williams’ child was registered with CCSD during the 2023-2024 school year, but in July, the district deemed her child a “no show,” documents said. Metro’s investigation later determined Williams enrolled her child in a Nebraska school district in March. Williams’ fiancé provided the Nebraska district with a notarized letter saying Williams was a Nebraska resident during the enrollment process, police said.

In a text message Tuesday, Williams said she was informed she would not face charges.

“The DA’s office has denied the request for prosecution and no arrest warrant has been issued,” Williams said. “I also hope that LVMPD will look into how this made its way to the media with the same fervor with which they attempted to pursue me.”

The 8 News Now Investigators obtained the documents through a public records request.
