Governor Joe Lombardo introduced a new education bill in Nevada that aims to increase accountability in school districts. The Nevada Accountability in Education Act includes bonuses for high-performing teachers and a tiered intervention system for struggling schools. Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro also has a similar bill, the EDUCATE Act, which focuses on accountability and teacher pay raises.
Previous legislative sessions saw disagreements between Democrats and the Republican governor over education priorities. Despite differences, they worked together to increase education funding and pass Assembly Bill 400, which included provisions for charter schools and teacher scholarships.
The education bill is one of five priority bills from Governor Lombardo, who has also presented crime and housing bills. The text of the education bill is expected to be released soon, and updates will be provided as the story develops.
