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. https://t.co/oOWVhtO7gF

Send a letter! Let's rewrite this script! #SchoolsOverStudios #NVLeg

🚨Help us rewrite the script🚨

Lawmakers should focus on real priorities, not "reel" priorities. The same day the Governor signed the K12 budget increasing funding by just $2 per student, the Assembly voted to hand $1.65B in public money to Hollywood.

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.

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.

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

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.”

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

"'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."

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

"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

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

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.

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

It's officially the $2 Session. The #NVLeg is likely to move onto their other 'priorities' which means the #HollywoodHandout. Keep those letters coming! They cannot keep prioritizing corporate tax breaks over our kids’ futures. https://t.co/xlrWfqBSW8

“See me after class, Governor.”

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

"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 https://t.co/apZykVAD8h

🚨AB232 for PERS equity has passed the Senate. Next stop, Governor's desk! #rESPect

[NEA-SN @NEASNV]

"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]

"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."

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

"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 https://t.co/clDxseU9e1

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

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.

It's #TeacherAppreciationWeek!

We’re here at the #NVLeg where they just approved a per pupil increase of $2 for next year...

It was inadequate as proposed by the Governor and it’s inadequate as approved by the Legislature.
