A former trustee on the Clark County School District Board is the State Public Charter School Authority’s newest member.

Sheila Moulton, a Las Vegas resident who served on the district board for 12 years, was appointed by the Charter School Association of Nevada to replace Adam Johnson.

Johnson announced his resignation from the board in June so he could focus on his new role as the executive director at Democracy Prep in Las Vegas.

“As a tough-minded and experienced advocate for educational choice in Clark County, Mrs. Moulton’s views aligned with the goals of CSAN,” Pat Hickey, the association’s executive director, said in a statement.

The association, a nonprofit representing charter schools in the state, is one of a number of organizations that appoints members to the authority board.

Another open seat will be filled by an appointment from Assembly Speaker Jason Frierson, D-Las Vegas.
