I-Team: Students Head North in Hopes of Smaller Class Sizes

LAS VEGAS -- Clark County students experience some the largest classes in the country. Although the overcrowding is expected to decrease by one or two students next year, the vast majority of kids won't see any significant change.

She started the year with 37 students, today she has 33. The Nevada Legislature is considering class size reduction and Rozgay-Miller saw an opportunity to give her fourth graders a civics lesson in Carson City.

Brush Fire Burns 3 Acres in Henderson

HENDERSON, Nev. -- The flames could be seen for miles coming from a brush fire in Henderson on Sunday.
