Make a Difference

The Nevada State Education Association has been the voice of Nevada educators for over 125 years. For decades, NSEA has led the charge against chronic underfunding of public education, from advancing the IP1 room tax in 2008 and qualifying the Education Initiative in 2014 to organizing seven major rallies in Carson City in recent years for our Red for Ed and Time For 20 campaigns. These efforts have helped build a broad consensus that Nevada must invest significantly more in its public schools. But consensus alone does not reduce class sizes, fill educator vacancies, or give students the resources they deserve. Nevada needs a school funding plan backed by the sustained revenue necessary to deliver it. Our students and educators have waited long enough. If we believe Nevada deserves better than 48th, lawmakers must turn that belief into action. Seriously, Pass the Plan.

NSEA's advocacy work at the Nevada State Legislature in Carson City, NV.

We have an unprecedented opportunity to reshape the future of public education in Nevada with the huge investment in public schools under the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act. Learn more about these critical school rescue funds and how you can determine their use in your district.

At the heart of the Association's lobbying strategy is the grassroots involvement of members in every corner of the state. Although NSEA's lobbyists play a key role during the session, legislators want—and need—to hear how their actions will impact children and education back home.
