This is the reality in education and things are amplified in Nevada because of how grossly underfunded our education system is. Both @WashoeSchools and @ClarkCountySch are in the bottom 5% of district funded nationally! Our students and educators deserve better. #NVleg
@WEAToday members and President testifying in support #AB269! We have to trust and support our educators through the evaluation process and remove unnecessary requirements that do not improve instruction or student outcomes. #NVLeg
Thank you speaker @SteveYeagerNV for making time to connect with some of our members! We know you understand the crisis our schools are in and the importance of making the aggressive investments our education system desperately needs. #NVDem#NVleg
Nevada has some of the largest class sizes in the country. Every session, NSEA has advocated for smaller class size to improve student learning and school safety. AB335 is sponsored by teacher and NSEA member @La_Rue_Hatch. #TimeFor20 https://t.co/6vTXgnj1hG
This session, NSEA has been leading the fight on chronic underfunding and educator vacancies, large class sizes, and school violence. Yet some principals believe worker protections represent everything wrong with education. 🤷♂️
Did you know only 80% of teachers at Charter Schools have to be licensed? Last session, NSEA asked for charter school teachers to be held to the same standard as neighborhood public school teachers, but even that legislation was watered down. It should be 100%. Period. #NVLeg
It’s Time For 20 to address the crisis in Nevada public schools and invest in educators. Pledge your support for the Time for 20 campaign, and let every candidate on the 2022 ballot know that it's #TimeFor20 @GovSisolak @NVSenateDems@nvassemblydems https://t.co/hdPAr0pWYr
We wish all of our educators good luck this year! May your students be kind and responsible. May your colleagues be professional and supportive. May your administrators be masterful and understanding. May this year fully become the year we return to normal!!
I joined 112 leaders of @ACTIONN_NV & @FaithOrganizing to be part of a power trajectory that works toward transformative change in my community. We call on #nvleg to lead boldly & create a new normal that divests from broken systems & invests in people! #newnormalNV#beboldnv
Yesterday, hundreds of educators lined the street from the legislature to the capitol to say #EducationIsEssential. Reopening schools the right way will require additional resources, not cuts. That is why we are calling on the legislature to #FundHealthySchools.
#FundHealthySchools We believe @rattijulia would agree. We can prioritize health and safety for educators and students, we can respect educator voices and expertise,and we can lead with equity. #educationisessential
