Just a reminder: NSEA members warned Gov. Lombardo that his $2 per-pupil funding increase would lead to shortfalls, cuts, and lost services. We’re glad state leaders finally figured out a way to stop the immediate and predictable crisis. Now, fix the underlying one. Seriously, Pass the Plan.

RELEASE: NSEA and our Clark County affiliates welcome Requested action on school funding crisis.

“When educators saw cuts threatening our schools, we told state leaders to figure out a way, and they did,” said NSEA President Dawn Etcheverry. “The funding formula explained how we got here, but it was never an excuse for inaction. Educators spoke up, and state leaders listened. Our schools and students are better for it.”

This morning, NEA Secretary-Treasurer Robert V. Rodriguez and NSEA President Dawn Etcheverry visited Canyon Springs High School in North Las Vegas!

We met with Secondary Food Services Manager and ESEA member, Maria Contreras, and learned more about the important work school food service professionals do every day to make sure students have access to nutritious meals at school.

We also stopped by NEA-SN member Jamie’s T's classroom to meet some great magnet students and hear about the fun projects and assignments they're working on!

Today, we were visited by newly elected NEA Secretary-Treasurer Robert V. Rodriguez!

NSEA's ESP of the Year, Misty Olmos, gave us a tour of Dennis Ortwein Elementary School, where we met with some incredible educators and students and heard about the great work and programs happening at their school.

After the tour, we joined NEA-Southern Nevada President Jeremy Heckler at JT McWilliams Elementary School to read a very funny picture book, "I Don’t Want to Read This Book" by Max Greenfield.

A wonderful day visiting Nevada’s public schools and the educators and students who make them special!

"As a public school educator in the Clark County School District, I’m being told data centers are supposed to be good for my students because they might generate money for schools. I don’t buy it. I have a simple question: Why should funding for my classroom and students depend on Nevada building more data centers?"

ICYMI: This week, NSEA, Education Support Employees Association of Clark County, Nevada, and NEA-Southern Nevada called on state leaders to immediately stabilize school funding in CCSD and other Districts. Nevada has an estimated $650M sitting in the Education Stabilization Account, the state’s K–12 rainy day fund. Nevada educators are sounding the alarm. The state should not allow students to lose programs and supports while hundreds of millions of dollars remain in education reserves.

🚨RELEASE: NSEA, along with our Clark County affiliates, Education Support Employees Association of Clark County, Nevada, and NEA-Southern Nevada, call on state leaders to immediately stabilize school funding.

ICYMI: Press Release: Public Schools Shouldn't Be Used to Sell More Data Centers

Governor Lombardo’s executive order is a continuation of Nevada’s failed data center tax giveaways. It leaves every previously approved abatement untouched, preserves the broader data center abatement program, and makes it state policy to facilitate additional data center development.
