President Dawn Etcheverry spent Read Across America Day with students JT McWilliams Elementary School. She read "Recess at 20 Below" by fellow NEA Member (now retired) Cindy Lou Aillaud, a fun and engaging book about how students in Alaska make the most of recess even in freezing temperatures.

Two dollars isn’t serious. Nevada’s future is.

Seriously, pass the plan. #NVLeg

The Elko County School District Superintendent just discussed the $11M deficit his district is currently facing. One of their solutions: follow the recommendations from the Commission on School Funding

Seriously, Pass The Plan. #NVLeg #Seriously

These cuts translate into larger class sizes, staffing reductions, school consolidations, service cuts, and fewer opportunities for students. Flat funding also makes it nearly impossible to bargain for educator raises, which tops our survey’s list of possible uses for education funds.

Public Comment: 2.17.26 Joint Interim Standing Committee on Education | Nevada State Education Association NSEA's public comments at the Joint Interim Standing Committee on Education.

This morning, NSEA spoke at the Interim Education Committee to deliver one message: Seriously, Pass The Plan #NVLeg

Because education funding was effectively kept flat last session, with just a two-dollar per-pupil increase, districts across Nevada are struggling with millions in deficits.

WEBINAR: Academic Freedom & the First Amendment

On Capitol Hill today, NSEA met with our federal delegation to defend public education and protect students. We opposed dismantling the Department of Education and raised concerns about ICE and DHS actions impacting our schools. Accountability, civil rights, and student safety must come first.

“It's the unknown that causes all the anxiety. I implore the district to be transparent about these things and about what they're asking from our administrators and why we're spending the money that we're spending this way.” Heckler said.

Budget concerns raise job security fears for CCSD teachers Growing budget concerns in the Clark County School District are fueling anxiety among educators and applicants who worry about job security and future hiring ac

@neasn.bsky.social President Jeremy Heckler said uncertainty surrounding surplus decisions and district finances is weighing heavily on teachers. “It's not just the surplus part, but it's like, well, what if I don't get picked up in the surplus?” Heckler said.

National School Counseling Week is Feb. 2-6. We are excited to recognize the work of the 131,000 #schoolcounselors across the nation! #NSCW26

Seriously, pass the plan. #NVLeg

"Since 2021, the Commission on School Funding has produced reports on what funding level would be optimal for K-12 education and what policies could be implemented to get there."

This is what #PassThePlan was all about. #NVLeg.

"Superintendents say the overall problem is that while the state did make progress in increasing K-12 education funding, it’s still not where it should be to meet the needs they are facing."

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday.

NSEA Members, please check your email for an important Legislative Priorities survey! Help us create our agenda heading toward the 2027 Legislative Session!

What is happening in Minnesota is not just an immigration issue. It is a test of whether we will tolerate authoritarian tactics that endanger students and undermine public education. Gov. Lombardo has failed that test. His milquetoast statement only protects the people doing the harm.

Leadership requires moral clarity, especially when children are being harmed and public schools are disrupted by fear and intimidation. Lombardo’s refusal to say anything of substance is not neutrality. It is abdication.

Nevada is standing with our sisters and brothers in @educationmn.bsky.social and the state of Minnesota. It's time to “Fight back while Fighting Forward.” #IceOutSchools

Students cannot learn when they are afraid for their safety or the safety of their families, friends, and educators. Together, we can create school communities that are safe, welcoming, and rooted in dignity. #IceOutSchools

Tomorrow, Nevada educators and allies will stand in solidarity with our sisters and brothers in Minnesota, answering their call for a nationwide show of unity. This action demonstrates unity across state lines and a shared commitment to protecting students, families, & school communities everywhere.

Failing to act on revenue is also a decision, and it is one that shifts costs onto students, educators, and local communities while leaving outdated loopholes intact.

Strong public schools are not a barrier to economic growth; they are a prerequisite for it. @alexandermarks.bsky.social
