Email the Legislature and Governor and tell them to Pass The Plan for optimal education funding. Nevada’s Students Can’t Wait!
As details of the Governor’s budget submission are emerging, word of a possible reduction to per-pupil education funding is one of the most concerning. Even after record increases to education funding last session, Nevada trails the national average by more than $4000 per student. If per-pupil funding is reduced, Nevada’s students will fall further and further behind.
That is why we must PASS THE PLAN.
In 2022, the Commission on School Funding developed a clear, research-backed roadmap to reach optimal funding within 10 years. We must PASS THE PLAN! To stay on track, we must commit to at least a $700 per-pupil increase in each of the next two years, totaling just over $600 million for the biennium. Policymakers must avoid proposals that divert public dollars into private interests such as stadium vouchers, private school vouchers, and Hollywood giveaways.
