Advocating for Change

The Nevada State Education Association has been the voice of Nevada educators for over 120 years. For decades, NSEA has led the charge against chronic underfunding of public education in Nevada, from the instigation of the IP1 room tax in 2008 and qualification of the Education Initiative in 2014 to our 5 major Red for Ed rallies in Carson City in recent years. NSEA’s efforts have been a large part of creating a social and political consensus – Nevada needs to invest significantly more in public education. If we are better than 48th, we must invest in Nevada.

Educators, parents, and communities are uniting for optimal school funding for our students and respect for public education.

We have an unprecedented opportunity to reshape the future of public education in Nevada with the huge investment in public schools under the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act. Learn more about these critical school rescue funds and how you can determine their use in your district.

It’s Time for 20 to address the crisis in Nevada public schools.

At the heart of the Association's lobbying strategy is the grassroots involvement of members in every corner of the state. Although NSEA's lobbyists play a key role during the session, legislators want—and need—to hear how their actions will impact children and education back home.

Learn about the issues and policies that impact public education, then take action to support students.
