NEA-SN Statement on Superintendent Ebert's Reduction in Force announcement.
"Educators did not create this problem, but educators are being asked to pay for it."
Gov. Lombardo seems offended educators prefer public money to go into public education. His state is ranked 48th in per pupil funding with the largest class sizes in the nation. Education is economic development and that's a better investment than hollywood movie studios. #NVLeg
Whether studios or stadiums, education just isn't a focus for Governor Lombardo.
This year, he gave students just a $2 increase.
Also this year, he tried to give Hollywood executives $1.65 billion (twice)

Nevada Educators trust @ZConine because he’s always defended our public schools and the people who make them work. Zach understands that protecting public dollars is essential to protecting public education.
“If Hollywood is the emergency, then Nevada leaders have lost the plot, and if tone deafness were taxable, perhaps our schools would be fully funded,”said Alex Marks, Deputy Executive Director of NSEA. Senators ultimately agreed, rejecting the bill”#NVLeg https://t.co/n2OmfkTrrZ
We depend on the legislative counsel bureau every session, and even special sessions…but why are we now choosing to ignore their analysis and force this bill through?
Call the vote and get this over with #nvleg

The money used to put on seven days of Lombardo’s special session could’ve provided relief for all these issues, but instead, we’re paying for the Legislature to debate handing over $1.8 billion to the film industry. #NVLeg
Some things never change. Today, multiple complaints were filed with the Legislative Counsel Bureau alleging that, once again, Jeremy Aguero is lobbying without registering as a lobbyist. Who’s he working for to pass the #HollywoodHandout? Who knows! #NVLeg
