“We've seen what happens when you budget something based on a Lombardo wish list. You get a $2 per pupil expenditure increase year-over-year for kids. That's his budget, right?” @aarondfordnv.bsky.social

The Commission on School Funding has given us a plan to fully fund our schools. When it comes to revenue, Nevada can’t continue to be more generous to sports teams and server farms than to the Nevadans who educator our kids and keep our schools running. Seriously, pass the plan.

Stadiums. Servers. Studios. There's always another subsidy and another reason why Nevada gives away revenue. But when it comes to adequately funding our schools, suddenly, the money is not there. Meanwhile, Nevada remains $4000 behind the national average with the largest class sizes in the country.

"This should be about kids. WCSD is moving toward a two-tiered system. Before approving another charter, ask: Will it offer the same programs and serve the same students as our neighborhood public schools? Academica is a for-profit EMO. Are we expanding educational opportunity or a business model?

"There are significant negative impacts to our neighborhood public schools if this Doral Academy proposal goes through. When you make your comments to the SPCSA, please emphasize our public schools"

"This charter school expansion could result in a $15-$17 million deficit which is more than what we faced this year…"

"NSEA/WEA have long opposed for profit charter schools. While they may be 'non profit' the land and infrastructure around them are not. As taxpayer-funded schools, they must be held to the same safeguards and standards of accountability, transparency and equity as public schools"

Gov. Lombardo sent Nevada educators what reads like a campaign ad straight to their school inboxes, courtesy of his taxpayer-funded office. Funny how he's only sending these emails during an election year. The reality is that educators haven’t seen a pay raise in 3 years. #NVLeg

While Nevada remains $4000 behind the national average in per pupil funding with the largest class sizes in the country, Lombardo remains focused on helping billionaires. Sadly, Joe Lombardo is only trying to make film studios and stadiums more affordable... #NVLeg

Update: NSEA and WEA successfully defeated the proposed policy yesterday evening. Thank you to WEA President and NSEA member Calen Evans, the Northern Nevada Central Labor Council, and SMART for your thoughtful comments while speaking in opposition. #UnionStrong

This evening, NSEA urged the Washoe County School District Board of Trustees to reject two proposed policy changes that would significantly weaken the ability of elected trustees to provide oversight, represent their constituents, and hold district administration accountable.

Headline after headline... Under Governor Lombardo and his $2 increase to per pupil funding, school districts across Nevada have announced deficits, layoffs, school closures, fiscal emergencies, and budget cuts. This is what chronic underfunding looks like. #NVLeg

Dismantling the Department of Education is no different than Joe Lombardo giving Nevada students $2, forcing cuts across Nevada school districts. They're both rooted in the same belief: public education isn't worth investing in.

Ahead of the NEA Representative Assembly, Nevada’s Aspiring Educators met for their annual conference to connect with colleagues, learn about their profession, and act on important education issues like promoting college voter turnout.

#Juneteenth commemorates the announcement in Texas in 1865 of the abolition of slavery. On this day, we honor the past, celebrate freedom, and embrace unity.

NSEA is proud to help lead conversations that strengthen partnerships, elevate educator voices, foster productive labor-management relationships, and shape the future of public education in Nevada. Thank you to the Nevada Association of School Administrators for hosting!

Today, NSEA President Dawn Etcheverry joined education leaders from across Nevada for a panel discussion on leveraging labor relations, highlighting the critical role unions play in building collaborative workplaces, supporting educators, and improving outcomes for students.

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our friend, colleague, union brother, and lifelong advocate for public education, Steve Horner. He dedicated his life to public education, unions, and the belief that working people are strongest when we stand together.

Yes, the #HollywoodHandout was defeated once again, but the broader labor movement did not lose. The major labor coalitions in Nevada, including Culinary, NSEA, and AFSCME, successfully protected key incumbents like Edgar Flores and Jovan Jackson.

"The thing we need to watch is funding. Funding leads to class size reduction, safety, social & emotional learning, and support for students. It’s all going to have to come through a funding source that is sustainable." #SeriouslyPassThePlan

This morning, President Etcheverry spoke at the Policy Landscape panel during the Nevada Association of School Superintendents meeting about the need for sustainable funding, the one set forth in the Commission on School Funding's plan. #NVLeg

It's Primary #ElectionDay in Nevada! Get out there and vote for some champions of public education like @zachfornv.bsky.social for Attorney General, Edgar Flores for State Senate 2, and Jovan Jackson for Assembly District 6! Visit nsea-nv.org/EducatorVote... to find a polling location.

“I don’t know all the nuances of foreign policy associated with that, and the tariffs and how it directly affects Nevada.” — Joe Lombardo Perhaps he could talk to Nevada educators about rising costs and learn how the trump policies he supports are making everyday life more expensive. #NVLeg

His opponent is supported by the same groups that backed Governor Lombardo and helped Donald Trump. Their policies have cost 8,600 construction jobs and have resulted in 3.1 million fewer visitors and less revenue. We cannot afford their policies.

Zach has taken an active role in safeguarding education funding from misuse and economic volatility. He's championed financial literacy initiatives, expanded access to college savings programs, and ensured that public dollars are managed responsibly, keeping classrooms funded and stable.

The Ormsby County Education Association and @zachfornv.bsky.social had a great conversation in Carson City. We appreciated the chance to talk about Nevada's future, the importance of strong public schools, and the need for leaders who will stand up for students, educators, and working families.

"NSEA repeatedly sounded the alarm over the Governor’s education funding increase of $2 per pupil. Now, under the realities of his budget, school districts are being forced to make painful cuts. These aren't signs of a thriving education system. They're warning lights flashing for everyone to see."

"This Legislature empaneled a Commission to develop a plan to do exactly that. Their plan recommends modernizing Nevada’s sales tax while closing property tax loopholes. It does not recommend further eroding the state’s revenue base through additional tax giveaways. Seriously, Pass the Plan."

Here’s how to really show you appreciate Nevada educators: 🍎Don’t veto bills that provide for universal school meals for our students 🍎Don’t veto bills adding class size as a mandatory subject of collective bargaining 🍎Don’t support budgets increasing per pupil funding by just $2 🍎#PassThePlan
