Nevada Action for School Options

We support effective schooling options, and policies that support equitable access to them for all Nevadans. #MicroschoolingNV

[Kerry McDonald @Kerry_edu]

While other states are moving forward with expanding education options for families, Nevada is heading backwards. I feel so sorry for these parents and kids.

In this latest edition of The 123s of School Choice, we present a comprehensive, up-to-date tour of the empirical research on U.S. voucher, tax-credit scholarship, and education savings account programs.

In states where private schools face particularly restrictive requirements, exemptions offer important flexibilities allowing them to serve families in ways that matter. Limiting these exemptions to only faith-based schools run by houses of worship isn’t useful. #microschools

Good read: ESAs are on the move- where does the movement need to go from here? @AdamPeshek is spot on in this cogent and vital analysis published by the @educationgadfly.

Oh the Vegas Microschooling Movement! I could not be more proud of everyone who made this story happen: the founders who built them, the families who make the magic happen daily, @Kerry_edu who wrote this, or the brilliant @ashrcam for telling it. You are all crucial visionaries!

Some bills of note introduced in #NVleg Senate this morning:

- #SB200 sponsored by @hammond4nevada would look to fund education savings accounts among other changes

[National Microschooling Center @microschooling]

Loved that our free “Operational Necessities” training session included microschool founders from 6 different states. Great, robust conversation about things that matter for success. Have you joined any of our trainings yet?

[Don Soifer @donsoifer]

Smart piece by @AdamPeshek, who’s said this for years, explaining how ESAs offer families and educators the tools to create unique new learning environments that are responsive to their needs, not the needs of regulators with some vague idea of “society.”

Who are today’s Joe Liebermans, Tony Williamses, Mary Landrieus? Democrats who respond to families’ strong desire for broad educational choice with courageous bipartisan leadership to deliver it? Without them, will this current choice wave be just red/blue states drifting apart?

Numeracy is being able to understand and work with numbers. Let’s start putting as much emphasis on this as we do in building kids’ literacy.

[Ron Matus @RonMatus1]

The woman who helped build this rural private school (that's her making the ❤️ sign in the center) is a former public school teacher & teachers union president who once opposed #schoolchoice.

Her views changed as the evidence came in.

Bloom Academy is one of the original stars of the dynamic Las Vegas microschooling sector, an innovative, child-centered environment for learning led by two inspiring educators.

[Don Soifer @donsoifer]

Well, perhaps…IF state charter laws can be upgraded to allow them to be evaluated based on multiple meaningful measures of their impact based on their unique missions and models.

Yes, school choice works in rural areas.

No, it won’t kill rural public schools.

We put together this paper & video to combat myths that choice opponents keep perpetuating in states like Texas, Oklahoma & Iowa: https://t.co/jEQ9WlKTE3

Love this!!! @DougDucey is a rare commodity.

Question: how can a Learn Everywhere initiative be enacted which doesn’t require prior approval, instead can award students credit for productive learning experiences after the fact?
@SenHoward @StandTogether

[Nevada Action for School Options @NV_Action]

At #EIE22 @AdamPeshek is leading a compelling panel with state chiefs from UT, ID and ND about innovative state programs they lead for middle and high school students to learn outside their classroom for credit. How can Nevada emulate these successes to benefit our learners?
