$2 Billion For Nevada Schools Proposed In New Bill
There is currently a bill being considered by Nevada legislators which could end up bringing $2 Billion dollars in funding to our state’s schools and education system.
According to an article written by Sasha Loftis on 8NewsNow.com, Assembly Bill 400 (AB400), “The Education, Achievement, Opportunity, and Accountability Act,” is being backed by Governor Joe Lombardo. The four main elements of this bill address issues which concern many parents and educators. The 8NewsNow.com article lists these elements as: “school choice, early childhood literacy, accountability, and teacher pipeline.”
One of the main elements of this bill concerns school choice. The bill proposes that a city or county would be allowed to sponsor a charter school. There would be an “Office of School Choice” established. And students would be allowed to attend schools outside of their normally required “zone of attendance.”
Another important element of the bill addresses the need for more qualified teachers throughout the school systems in the state of Nevada. The proposed bill would create The State Teacher Pipeline Account and the Nevada Teacher Advancement Scholarship Program. These programs would provide funds for students training to become local educators, and the opportunities for pay raises for teachers already in the state’s school system.
There are also provisions in AB400 which require students to achieve certain standards before being promoted to the next grade, and provisions for the retention of pupils in the same grade. Per Loftis’s article: “The proposal would also provide scholarship funding for families under the federal poverty threshold.”
If this bill passes, it would not only mean big changes for the state’s education system, but also for the Clark County School District.

Who Helped You With Your Homework?
5) Mississippi
“The Magnolia State” ranks fifth. Heck, I couldn’t spell Mississippi correctly until I graduated sixth grade! (not really)
4) Arizona
Our neighbors in “The Grand Canyon State” rank fourth.
Thank goodness they wrote the name of the state on the blackboard or I might not have guessed that it was Arizona from the shape.3) Louisiana
Uh oh, were you able to guess that was Louisiana from the shape on the blackboard? “The Bayou State” is home to “The Big Easy” of New Orleans, but apparently, homework isn’t too easy. They rank third in needing the most help.
2) Oklahoma
Sing it with me! “OOOOOOOO-kla-homa where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain!” Nice job! I was a little pitchy though. “The Sooner State” would probably rather not rank second in this Brainly.com study though.
1) New Mexico
The students in “The Land of Enchantment” apparently are not too enchanted with doing their homework on their own. They claim top “honors” for requiring the most help with their homework according to Brainly.com
