The Nevada State Education Association has been the voice of Nevada educators for over 120 years. We represent educators across the state of Nevada, including most Education Support Professionals (ESPs) who provide vital services to children in Nevada’s public education system. ESPs perform a wide range of essential work, including nutrition services, instructional assistance, school secretaries, maintenance and operations, and student transportation.
On March 26th, Governor Sisolak approved the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation’s proposed Emergency Regulation allowing for unemployment benefits to be available to nine- month, ten-month, and eleven-month education support professionals this summer.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, job opportunities last summer were severely limited, and many ESPs struggled to make ends meet. This summer may also have limited second job opportunities due to the COVID-19 crisis, and that could have meant another summer with no income for thousands of Nevada educators. This emergency regulation will be a tremendous help, and NSEA thanks Governor Sisolak, DETR, and everyone who was involved in its creation and implementation.
