A longtime Clark County School District fifth-grade teacher is facing serious scrutiny after his arrest Friday in a child-abuse investigation tied to Wing and Lilly Fong Elementary School in southeast Las Vegas. Authorities have not yet released full court records that spell out the specific allegations.
The Clark County School District Police Department took 51-year-old Kha Nam Nguyen into custody and booked him into the Clark County Detention Center, according to KSNV. The department says the arrest stems from an investigation that began at Wing and Lilly Fong Elementary School in February, and that Nguyen has been employed by CCSD since January 2007. As the probe unfolded, Nguyen was assigned to home under the terms of a negotiated agreement with his bargaining unit, and he is scheduled for a justice-court appearance Saturday at 9 a.m.
Where It Happened
Wing and Lilly Fong Elementary is a neighborhood K–5 campus in southeast Las Vegas. The Clark County School District lists the campus at 2200 James Bilbray Drive, according to the Clark County School District. The district directory provides basic contact information for the school but does not include investigative documents on the public-facing page.
Other Recent CCSD Investigations
This latest arrest comes as CCSD continues to deal with other high-profile personnel cases. In October 2025, an elementary school teacher was arrested on charges described as “related to child abuse,” according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. A separate January 2026 case saw a teacher assistant booked after surveillance footage allegedly showed a student being dragged at another CCSD campus, as reported by FOX5. Both of those earlier matters remain active in the courts and are being handled as separate cases.
What’s Next
Nguyen’s initial appearance in justice court is scheduled for Saturday morning, where formal charges may be outlined in more detail. Supporting documents, if filed, are expected to surface later through county court dockets and the detention center’s public search tools. The Clark County Detention Center maintains an online inmate-search portal for booking and custody status information. This story will be updated if additional official filings or statements are released.
