Las Vegas City Schools finance director Myrna Garcia has been placed on administrative leave, signaling that her rocky tenure handling the district’s finances might be coming to an end.

Garcia was placed on leave last Friday by interim Superintendent Sheryl McNellis-Martinez. The district hasn’t said publicly why it took the action.

It’s unclear who is overseeing the district’s financial operations in Garcia’s absence.
