With the backdrop of a budget bill that threatens to strip healthcare from millions of Americans and cut off food assistance for millions of children, today’s harmful decision by the administration puts essential programs, trainings, and supports at risk. nsea-nv.org/about-nsea/med…

The K-12 education bill (SB500) includes a $2 per pupil increase this year and a $70 per pupil increase in 2026-2027. @NSEAOnline says that's still woefully inadequate and the state should've tapped into the Rainy Day Fund. Full story tonight on @KRNV

The K12 Budget does not reflect a real commitment to Nevada schools and is a de facto education cut. This Session was a missed opportunity for real progress and will be remembered as the “Two Dollar” Session. A $2 increase in per-pupil funding will be devastating to our schools.

The signing marks the first significant bill passage of the legislative session. reviewjournal.com/news/politics-…

The #NVLeg had the opportunity to stay on track with the Commission’s plan. Even after using the ESA to offset a reduction in anticipated revenue, Nevada’s still sitting on about $2B in reserves. The ESA alone could cover the $604M increase called for by the Commission.

“Now, lawmakers are considering giving away $1.65 billion in public money to Hollywood executives. It sounds like a horror movie, but it’s a Nevada documentary.”

"'This week the #NVLeg passed the Governor’s Education Budget with only a $2 increase in per-pupil funding and tabled AJR1 to help #PassThePlan to fund public education,' Dawn Etcheverry, president of the Nevada State Education Association, said in a statement."

Economic and fiscal returns on investment for two prospective plans to draw Hollywood film studios to Nevada are lower than initially described to lawmakers, according to studies. reviewjournal.com/business/repor…

"Nevada can't afford these handouts to corporations," NSEA said in a statement in response to Saturday's committee vote. "We are short $604 million in education funding this biennium and we trail the national average by $4099 per student..." #SchoolsOverStudios #NVLeg

The same week the #NVLeg approved a pathetic $2 increase to per pupil funding that will harm our schools, while flatly rejecting the Commission on School Funding’s plan to fully fund public education, they've made progress on giving Hollywood $1.65 billion in public money.

"Gov. Lombardo’s budget does not adequately address this problem...with an increase of just $2/student. The Commission on School Funding developed a plan to reach optimal funding in 10 years. This well-researched roadmap shouldn't be ignored" #NVLeg thisisreno.com/2025/05/educat…

"There's been a fundamental contradiction in the actions of the #NVLeg when it comes to properly funding public education. While nearly every politician claims to prioritize education, there’s a competing record of corporate giveaways that cost the state over a billion dollars"
Nevada State Education Association@NSEAOnline

Just one day after the #NVLeg approved a meager $2 increase in per-pupil funding, they are considering handing $1.65 billion in public money to Hollywood studios. It sounds like a fantasy film, but it’s a Nevada documentary. #SchoolsOverStudios nsea-nv.org/resource-libra…

"Let's set the scene: The Nevada Film Marquee reads Waste Side Story, directed by Schools over Studios. Rated F, like our education rankings, for fiscal recklessness and misplaced priorities."

"We can't afford handouts to corporations. Nevada's short $300M while we rank 47th in the nation in funding with the largest class sizes. Even after record increases last session, Nevada still trails the national average by $4099 per student." #NVLeg ktnv.com/news/summerlin…

Nevada has over $2B in reserves, which can be used to cover the $604M called for in the Commission’s Plan. That will continue the work from last session to improve our schools and is the most responsible budget action that could be taken. These funds are intended for this moment.
