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
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.
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.
@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.
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
This morning, we provided public comment at the Joint Interim Committee on Revenue. We reminded the #NVLeg that our students and schools cannot afford continued inaction on revenue. Our students and educators need a Legislature willing to act on the work it has already commissioned and reviewed.
Wishing you all a warm and joyful holiday season! We’re truly grateful for everything you do each day to support our students, uplift your colleagues, and strengthen our communities. May the weeks ahead bring you rest, happiness, and special time with the people you love.

While we appreciate Governor Lombardo giving @nsea.bsky.social credit for helping to kill the #HollywoodHandout, we think he should place more blame on Jeremy Aguero, an unregistered lobbyist, who clearly didn't lobby hard enough behind the scenes to discredit the non-partisan fiscal staff. #NVLeg
Sadly, Governor Lombardo is offended that we'd prefer public money to go into public education. His state is ranked 48th in per pupil funding with the largest class sizes in the nation. Education is economic development, and it's a better investment than hollywood movie studios. #NVleg
🚨Endorsement: Educators trust @zconine.bsky.social because he has always defended Nevada’s public schools and the people who make them work. He has been a good steward of public dollars and understands that protecting those dollars is essential to protecting public education.
"Marks says NSEA's complaint to LCB “was more about the pattern we’ve seen since 2023” and the “powers that be that believe they’re above the law,” than just about Sandoval, Aguero, & Vellardita. “While the response to our complaint from LCB was largely non-responsive, they did confirm a violation."

Statement: The #HollywoodHandout has failed to pass. #NVLeg
Tonight, the Nevada Senate stopped the $1.8 billion #HollywoodHandout! The message was clear that we must put Nevadans over billion-dollar corporations. Thank you to all the legislators who voted NO on #AB5 #NVLeg
This special session has been dragging on for seven days now, wasting money that could’ve provided school lunches for 272,374 CCSD students! #NVLeg
NSEA Member and second grade teacher Maggie Babb is speaking at the #NVLeg and why educators oppose the #HollywoodHandout
After the Assembly passed the #HollywoodHandout, the fate of film tax credits lies in the hands of the Senate. Call into the Senate Jobs & Economy Committee to urge them to vote NO on #AB5 using (888) 475-4499, meeting ID 87424207951, then press #. #NVLeg
A vote for Assembly Bill 5 is a vote to cut education.
#SchoolsOverStudios
#NVLeg
Maybe Hollywood will make a movie about that... #SchoolsOverStudios #NVLeg
