U2 at the Sphere, School Start Times, and New Street Vendor Rules
The Nevada State Board of Education (SBE) approved a proposal Wednesday which would require schools to apply for a waiver if they want to start school before 8 a.m., citing teen sleep deprivation as a major concern.

Today, host Dayvid Figler, News 3 reporter Brett Forrest, and CCLV lead producer Sonja Cho Swanson get into the weeds of this proposal. Next, they tackle Clark County’s new street vendors rules — what lessons can be learned from this rocky rollout? And last, the Sphere’s spectacular concert debut was met with wild acclaim. But has the Sphere changed the concert-going experience for the better or worse?
