Thank
you,
madam
chair,
again
for
the
record,
alex
hearts
fiscal
analysis,
division,
I'm
presenting
the
special
appropriations
budget
for
the
governor's
finance
office.
The
budget
begins
on
page
three.
This
budget
was
heard
on
february
22nd.
There
is
one
major
closing
issue.
As
you
will
see
in
the
budget,
the
governor
recommends
the
addition
of
approximately
4.3
million
dollars
this
in
fiscal
year
22.
C
There's
information
provided
on
page
four,
which
gives
information
about
that
was
provided
by
the
agency
as
a
result
of
the
budget
hearing
on
the
22nd
in
terms
of
there
being
194,
total
residency
and
fellowship
slots.
Currently,
in
this,
as
of
2020
calendar
year,
2020
in
the
state
139
in
southern
nevada,
54
in
northern
nevada,
as
you
will
see
in
the
second
bullet,
there
is
a
considerable
difference
in
price
range,
depending
upon
the
residency
or
fellowship,
and
that
impacts
the
total
number
that
would
be
approved
and
added
to
the
program.
C
On
the
page.
Five
there's
information
that
was
provided
by
the
governor's
office
of
science,
innovation
and
technology
with
regard
to
where
the
the
sponsors
or
where
the
graduate
medical
education,
residency
fellowships,
are,
are
located
through
and
the
type
of
residency
program
in
terms
of
the
area
of
residency
in
terms
in
medicine
and
then
the
fellowship
programs.
C
The
governor
also
recommends,
as
part
of
this
request
to
add
language
in
the
appropriations
act
back
language
that
would
allow
funding
to
be
balanced,
unspent
funding
to
be
balanced
forward
from
fiscal
year,
20
2022
to
fiscal
year
23,
given
that
there
takes
time
to
develop
and
fund
new
new
residency
and
fellowship
slots.
C
This
flexibility
has
not
previously
been
requested
by
the
office
of
the
governor,
nor
has
it
been
considered
by
the
money
committees,
but
it
does
not
appear
unreasonable.
Given
how
the
residency
slots
and
fellowship
slots
are
developed
and
then
funded
on
the
top
of
page
six
is
the
motion
for
the
committee's
consideration.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
hartson.
I
remember
the
session
where
former
assemblyman
eisen
would
give
me
a
lecture
almost
every
day
on
gme,
so
I'm
hopi.
I
hope,
he's
very
happy
to
to
see
this,
because
this
is
an
issue
that
the
state
has
been
dealing
with,
and
this
really
does
make
a
difference
in
in
access
to
health
care
in
the
state.
A
So
committee
members,
are
there
any
questions
on
this
program
at
this
time,
I'm
kind
of
waiting
for
dr
titus
to
raise
her
hand,
but
that's
not
happening
yet.
So
any
other
questions.
A
No,
so
with
that
senator
brooks.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
move
to
approve
the
governor's
recommendation
of
4
million
265
000
in
new
general
fund
appropriations
and
fy
2022
to
fund
the
development
of
new
graduate
medical
education,
residency
and
fellowship
slots
in
nevada,
with
staff
to
include
language
in
the
2123
biennium
appropriations
act
such
that
the
full
8
million
530
thousand

the
gme
program
are

to
be
expended
in
both
years
of
the
biennium
and
that
any
unspent
balance
on
june
30th
2023
reverts
to
the
general
fund.
A
C
C
Staff
would
note
that
on
other

year,
22
and
23,
with
any
unspent
balance
of
the
appropriation
reverting
on
or
before
in
this
september,
fifteenth.
C
Twenty
twenty
three
staff
would
note
that
both
the
2017
legislature
and
the
2019
legislature
approved
similar
back
language
that
is
being
requested
for
this
civil

thousand
eight
hundred

the
2021-23
biennium

program.
H
The

also
recommended
legislation

The
subcommittee
recommended
approval
of
the
governor's
recommendation
to
continue
funding
for
both
an
administrative
services
officer
position
and
a
management
analyst
position,
as
recommended
by
the
governor,
funded
with
general
fund
appropriations
of
four
hundred
ninety

thousand
one
hundred
twenty
one
dollars
over
the
two

Twenty
three
biennium
the
office
of
the
superintendent
budget
had
a
closing
difference
related
to
the
governor's
recommendation
for
general
fund
appropriations
of
thirty
thousand
dollars
in
each
year
of
the
2021-23
biennium
for
two-day
monthly
in-person
meetings
for
the
commission
on
school
funding.
H
The
senate
members
of
the
subcommittee
recommended
approval
of
funding
of
thirty
thousand
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
two
and
seven
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
twenty
three
that
would
allow
two-day
monthly
in-person
meetings
from
july
1st
2021
through
september
30
2022
for
the
commission
on
school
funding.
H
H
Accordingly,
the
money
committees
could
consider
an
option
to
reduce
funding
by
one
half
to
provide
for
in-person
meetings
only
every
other
month
in
fiscal
year
22
and
two
in-person
meetings
through
september
2022
in
fiscal
year,
23.
fiscal
staff
estimates.
This
option
would
reflect
in-state
travel
funding
for
the
commission
school
funding
of
fifteen
thousand
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
twenty-two
and
five
thousand
dollars
in
fiscal
year
twenty-three.
H
There
are
four
options
for
the
committee's
consideration.
Today:
a
is
approved
funding
of
thirty
thousand
dollars
in
each
year
of
the
2021-23
biennium
for
two-day
monthly
in-person
meetings
for
the
commission
on
school
funding,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
option
b,
is
approved.
Funding
of
30
000
in
fiscal
year
22
and
7
500
in
fiscal
year,
23
for
a
two-day
monthly
in-person
meetings
from
july
1st
2021
through
september
30
30th
2022
for
the
commission
school
funding.
H
Option
c
is
not
to
approve
the
governor's
recommendation
to
increase
general
fund
appropriations
by
30
000
in
each
year
of
the
2021-23
biennium
for
in-state
travel
expenditures
for
a
two-day
monthly
in-person
meetings
for
the
commission
on
school
funding
and
the
last
option.
Option
d
is
approved:
funding
of
15
000
in
fiscal
year
22
and
5
000
in
fiscal
year
23,
which
would
provide
two-day
in-person
meetings
every
other
month
in
fiscal
year
22
and
two
two-day
in-person
meetings
through
september
of
2022
in
fiscal
year,
23
for
the
commission
on
school
funding.
H
A
Here
at
this
moment
to
have
the
conversation
for
the
the
two
full
committees
would
be
appropriate
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
decision
points
and
go
through
so
full
committee
members.
There
was
conversation
in
the
subcommittee
about
this
item.
We
did.
The
assembly
did
close
separately
from
the
senate.
A
The
majority
leader
in
the
assembly
had
some
questions
about
the
funding
of
this
managing
the
meetings
and
the
the
senate
was
was
comfortable
with
what
had
been
recommended.
So
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and,
as
would
be
normal,
we
will
continue
the
conversation
here
on
what's
going
on.
So
the
full
committee
has
the
benefit
of
what
the
subcommittee
discussed
and
then
we'll
move
from
there.
A
So
if
I'll
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
majority
leader
first
to
share
some
of
the
concerns
that
were
brought
up
in
the
committee
and
then
we'll
go
and
open
it
up
to
other
members
for
questions
at
that
time.
So
majority
leader.
I
I
thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
that,
and
so,
as
I
look
at
this,
though
the
the
option
that
seems
to
resonate
the
most
with
me
is
option
d
and
it
wasn't
necessarily
so
much
the
money
amount,
because
these
are.
This
is
not
a
big
money
amount
of
money,
but
you
know
like
as
the
interim
finance
committee
when,
when
we're
in
our
traditional
schedule,
we're
only
meeting
every
other
month
for
a
full
day
to
you,
know,
conduct
the
state's
business
and
work
over
all
the
budgets
and
work
programs,
and
so
it
just
I.
I
It
seemed
to
me
that
every
other
month
is
more
reasonable.
You
know
the
bulk
of
the
work
to
get
to
a
book
of
the
work
has
been.
You
know
over.
This
interim
has
been
worked
on
and,
and
we've
got
some
decisions
points
based
on
that
in
front
of
this
legislature
and
incoming
conversations,
but
I
don't
think
we
need
to
kee.
I
It
just
doesn't
make
any
sense
to
me
why
we
would
keep
at
that
same
pace
that
ask
those
members
on
that
commission
who
are
from
other
school
districts
to
give
up
two
days
a
month
to
participate
in
this
meeting
two
days.
Every
other
every
other
month
seems
seems
much
more
reasonable.
So
d
seems
to
me
what
a
reasonable
expectation.
A
And
thank
you
and
we
do
know
that
there
is
going
to
be
a
lot
of
work
that
still
needs
to
be
done.
I
mean
the
model
is
just
being
stood
up,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
work,
a
lot
of
discussion
points
that
are
going
to
happen
over
the
next
two
years,
so
we
understand
how
valuable
that
is,
but
at
what
level?
So
with
that
I'll
open
it
up
to
other
members.
At
this
time,
senator
brooks.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
think
that
that,
as
we
move
forward
we're
standing
up
a
new
funding
formula,
we
are
in
one
of
maybe
the
most
uncertain
economic
times
that
states
ever
faced.
We
have
a
massive
influx
of
federal
money
that
is
coming
into
the
state
going
directly
to
school
districts,
and
we
we
just
have
so
much
work
to
do
and-
and
I
I'm
that's,
why
I'm
supportive
of
of
the
in-person
monthly
meetings
through
september
22nd
of
of
or
september
30th
of
2022
in
in
conjunction
with
our
legislative
schedule.
D
I
I
just
think
that
there's
just
going
to
be
so
much
work
necessary.
You
know,
and
on
this
commission
we
have.
D
So
that's
that's
why
I'm
supportive
of
that
more
robust
and
in-person
meeting
schedule
through
these
next
two
years
after
that,
obviously
you
know,
I
think
that
it
should
be
up
for
reconsideration
on
what
what
the
future
looks
like,
but
that
that's
that's
where
I'm
at.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
too
would
weigh
in
in
and
think
that
the
in-person
meetings
are
important,
especially
for
all
of
our
cfos,
to
be
able
to
get
together.
While
I
recognize
that
a
lot
of
things
have
been
done
virtual
in
the
last
year,
I
think
that
the
in-person
meetings
are
very
beneficial
and
I'd
like
to
see
them
have
the
opportunity
to
get
together
and
move
forward,
this
commission
and
our
new
funding
formula.
J
E
E
It
basically
came
down
to
us
talking
about
it
every
two
years
in
the
legislature,
and
we
didn't
really
have
a
way
of
being
able
to
have
experts
look
at
this
and
then
we
would
either
do
a
an
expensive
study
periodically
to
see
if
we
made
adjustments,
and
so
what
this
commission
did
was
bring
together,
cfos
and
technical
people
that
that
this
is
what
they
do.
You
know
the
majority
leader
earlier
mentioned.
E
You
know
having
them
in
meetings
for
two
days,
but
this
is
what
they
do
for
a
living
and
they
do.
If
you
look
at
the
work
product
that
they've
been
doing
over
the
last
two
years,
they've
done
an
amazing
job
and
I
agree
that
there's
a
lot
that
has
to
happen
especially
now
to
stand
this
up
and
and
get
it
going.
So
I
would
you
know
I
support
having
them
be
able
to
meet
and
get
done
the
work
that
they
need
to
get
done.
E
It
saves
us
a
lot
of
time
when
it
comes
back
to
the
legislature.
We
have
to
talk
about
these
things
because
we,
we
know
we're
going
to
have
good
data
and
good
information
from
these
technical
people
that
get
together
so
just
wanted
to
put
that
out.
There
maybe
give
some
historical
on
on
why
we
created
it.
A
B
A
A
So
what
the
chair's
intent
would
be
is
to
go
ahead
and
take
the
motion
on
the
assembly
side
knowing
full
well
what
direction
it's
going
to
go
on
the
senate
side
and
then
the
chair
of
the
senate
finance
will
take
their
motion
and
then
we
will
be
closing
differently
and
moving
on
to
have
further
conversations,
and
I
think,
there's
still
some
discussion
points
as
far
as
building
in
the
the
virtual
meetings.
So
we
can
just
we
can
go
from
that.
It's
kind
of
what
I'm
reading
the
committee
at
this
moment.
A
J
Chuck
carlton,
I
just
have
one
other
comment.
Maybe
the
folks
on
the
commission
could
consider
before
we're
going
to
move
forward
right
now
and
have
separate
opinions,
but
maybe
they
can
consider
making
it
a
one-day
meeting
instead
of
a
two-day
meeting,
and
so
maybe
they
need
to
analyze,
basically
how
they
approach
the
work
that
they're
doing
and
if
they
can
do
it
more
expeditiously,
because
that
may
end
up
factoring
into
what
we
eventually
land
on.
A
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
just
for
a
second
time.
I
I
do
believe
that
the
and
I
could
be
wrong,
but
I
do
believe
that
the
commission
actually
was
hoping
for
some
in-person
meetings
because
they
felt
more
productive
in
those
in-person
meetings.
So
that's
what
I'm
taking
into
my
factor
and
all
of
the
members
of
the
commission
are
cfos
and
business
people
from
the
community,
I
guess
and
and
not
necessarily
classroom
teachers,
but
that's
what
I'm
taking
into
my
decision
is,
is
the
request
from
the
the
actual
people
doing
the
work.
Okay.
A
We
appreciate
that
so
with
that
staff
is
prepared,
so
they
kind
of
know
what
direction
we're
going.
We
always
want
to
make
sure
everything
is
is
clear.
So
with
that
I
would
accept
a
motion
from
miss
bedinez-thompson,
ms
benitez
thompson,.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chairwoman.
I
would
move
that
we
approve
d
approved
funding
of
fifteen
thousand
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
twenty
twenty
and
five
thousand
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
2023,
which
would
provide
two
in-day-person
meetings
every
other
month
in
2022
and
two
two-day
in-person
meetings
through
september
2022
in
fiscal
year,
2023
for
the
commission
on
school
funding.
A
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
I.
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear
for
the
public
certification
because
we're
talking
about
options,
and
I
don't
want
to
assume
that
everybody
knows
what
we're
talking
about.
All
of
these
options
include
in-person
meetings,
so
I
don't
want
anybody
to
think
that
we're
talking
about
in-person
meetings
versus
not
in-person
meetings.
L
All
of
these
options
that
we're
discussing
include
in-person
meetings,
so
we
certainly
understand
and
and
agree
that
there's
a
need
for
some
in-person
meetings.
I
think
that
the
issue
is
the
frequency
with
which
those
in-person
meetings
occur
and,
quite
frankly,
I
think
the
other
discussion
is
whether
or
not
there
is
an
option
for
virtual
in
between
those.
So
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear
because
it
for
folks
that
are
not
reading
these
notes.
They
don't
know
what
we're
talking
about.
L
Quite
frankly,
so
all
of
the
options
that
we
were
considering
were
were
including
in-person
meetings,
but
to
the
extent
that
we
have
to
continue
to
have
the
conversations
about
the
frequency,
I
think
that's
what
what
we're
talking
about
now.
A
And
thank
you
speakers
so
with
with
that,
and
you
know
the
the
conversation
about
the
public
being
able
to
participate.
We
definitely
want
that,
but
we
have
found
out
with
all
those
ifc
meetings
that
we
had
over
the
last
interim.
The
public
will
figure
it
out
and
they
have
figured
out
our
session
also.
A
So
we
have
had,
I
believe,
even
more
participation,
the
first
couple
of
months
of
our
session
than
we
ever
expected
that
we
would
have
so
I
do
have
a
motion
and
a
second
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
and
call
for
the
motion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
and
those
opposed,
so
the
nays
would
be
if
you
would
raise
your
hands
please
that
way
we
have
them.
So
the
nays
are
in
this:
the
senate,
votes,
nay
and
the
assembly,
and
I
have
a
name
from
dr
titus
in
the
assembly.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
would
accept
a
motion
on
the
options
that
we
we
just
discussed
for
commission
meeting.
I
would
move
for
option
b
yep
and
I
have
a
motion.
Second
from
senator
kikifer.
Any
discussion
on
that
motion.
D
D
We've
we've
got
the
senate
votes
in
the
affirmative,
in
addition
to
dr
titus
and
the,
and
so
the
motion
passes
in
the
senate.
Fails
in
the
assembly.
H
While
the
assembly
members
of
the
subcommittee
recommended
not
approving
the
governor's
recommendation
to
increase
general
fund
appropriations
by
10
755
in
each
year
of
the
2021-23
biennium
for
operating
and
travel
expenditures
for
department
staff
to
attend
seven
commission
school
funding,
in-person
meetings-
as
previously
noted
during
the
budget,
closing
members
of
the
subcommittee
requested
additional
information
regarding
conducting
a
combination
of
in-person
and
virtual
meetings
for
the
commission
on
school
funding.
Accordingly,
the
money
committees
could
consider
an
option
to
reduce
funding
by
one-half
to
provide
for
in-person
meetings.
H
During
those
times,
the
commission
on
school
funding
meets
in
person
in
las
vegas
in
fiscal
year
22
and
one
in-person
meeting
through
september
2022
in
fiscal
year,
23
for
the
department
staff
providing
support
for
the
commission
on
school
funding
fiscal
staff
estimates.
This
option
would
require
expenditures
of
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
forty-five
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty-Two
and
five
thousand
five
hundred
ninety-five
dollars
in
fiscal
year
twenty-three.
H
So
there
are
four
options
for
the
committee's
consideration:
a
is
to
approve
funding
of
ten
thousand
seven
hundred
fifty
five
dollars
in
each
year
of
the
two
thousand
twenty
one.
Twenty
three
biennium
for
operating
and
travel
expenditures
for
department
staff
to
attend
seven
commission
school
funding.
In-Person
meetings,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
option
b,
is
approved:
funding
of
ten
thousand
seven
hundred
fifty-five
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
H
Twenty-Two
and
six
thousand
four
hundred
in
fiscal
year,
23
for
operating
expenditures
and
for
department
staff
to
attend
seven
commission
school
funding,
in-person
meetings
in
fiscal
year
22
and
two
in-person
meetings
in
fiscal
year,
23
in
las
vegas
option
c,
is
not
approved.
The
governor's
recommendation
to
increase
general
fund
appropriations
by
10
755
in
each
year
of
the
2021-23
biennium
for
operating
an
in-state
travel
expenditures
for
department
staff
to
attend
seven
commission
on
school
funding.
H
In-Person
meetings
in
las
vegas
and
option
d
is
approved:
funding
of
7
745
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
22
and
5
595
in
fiscal
year
23,
which
would
provide
for
department
staff
to
attend
meetings
in
person.
During
those
times,
the
commission
on
school
funding
meets
in
las
vegas
in
fiscal
year
22
and
one
in-person
meeting
in
las
vegas
in
fiscal
year
23
for
the
period
beginning
july
1st,
through
september
30th
of
2022
and
madam
chair,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
A
And
thank
you
very
much
miss
mangola,
because
there's
so
many
different
options
here,
the
action
that
the
assembly
took
just
a
few
moments
ago.
In
item
number
d-
it
doesn't
specifically
say
the
number
of
meetings,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
assembly
is
consistent
with
its
previous
action
that
it
just
took.
So
my
question
to
you,
ms
mangola,
would
be
because
the
assembly
had
gone
with
item
number
d,
which
was
two
day
in
person
meetings
every
other
month
and
then
two
in-person
meetings
through
september.
A
Is
that
the
seven
meetings,
because
it's
not
specifically
delineated
that
are
referenced
in
this
discussion
on
those
seven
meetings?
For
because
this
is
the
staff
being
able
to
attend
those
meetings.
So
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
consistent
with
where
we
are.
So,
if
you
could
walk
us
through
that,
please
I
want
to
make
sure
emotions
aren't
contradictory
to
what
what
we're
trying
to
get
to.
H
So
option
d
on
page
six
would
allow
department
staff
to
meet
in
person
in
las
vegas,
approximately
three
to
four
times
in
fiscal
year
22
and
would
allow
one
in-person
meeting
to
go
to
las
vegas
in
fiscal
year.
23.
H
the
option
that
the
assembly
committee
chose
for
the
commission
school
funding
on
the
previous
page
on
page
four
would
allow
in-person
meetings
for
the
commission
school
funding
six
times
in
fiscal
year,
22
and
two
times
in
fiscal
year.
23.
now
that
six
times
in-person
meetings
can
all
be
in
las
vegas.
H
But
at
this
time
staff
isn't
sure
whether
the
commission's
full
funding
would
opt
to
go
to
utilize
that
for
las
vegas
meetings,
as
opposed
to
in-person
meetings
in
carson
city.
A
A
Number
of
meetings
wasn't
actually
delineated
in
either
of
these,
we
would
just
have
to
figure
out
how
many
they
were
seeing
the
writing
on
the
wall.
This
was
going
to
have
future
conversations
as
we
move
forward.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
the
assembly
took
the
appropriate
action
that
would
match
our
our
previous
action,
which
was
to
support
in-person
meetings,
but
not
quite
as
many.
This
is
for
staff
funding
to
go
to
those
meetings.
A
We
really
don't
know
how
many
will
be
in
las
vegas,
so
I
believe
the
assembly
would
want
to
look
at
item
number
d
moving
forward.
We
wouldn't
want
to
say
that
there's
no
travel
dollars
at
all.
We
don't
think
that
is
is
where
we
want
to
go.
So
I
believe
that
item
d
in
this
list
of
options
would
be
consistent
with
our
our
previous
action.
Senator
brooks.
Did
you
have
any
questions
of
miss
mangola.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
similar
question
and,
and
the
senate's
decision
was
to
support
monthly
in-person
meetings
and
and
with
item
that
would
have
been
a
choice
on
item
b
in
the
previous
decision.
H
A
And
thank
you
very
much
miss
mangola
and
I
I
think
this
is
a
perfect
example
of
the
senate
and
the
assembly
not
agreeing,
but
we're
still
being
agreeable
and
moving
forward.
So
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
our
actions
clear
for
the
record,
and
everyone
knows
what,
where
we're
going
so
with
that
to
cojer,
brooks
I'll,
go
ahead
and
move
forward,
we're
not
going
to
draw
this
out
any
longer
than
we
need
to,
like.
I
said
the
writings
on
the
wall.
A
A
Not
seeing
any
at
this
time
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
and
those
opposed.
I
have
dr
titus
on
the
assembly
side
opposed
and
the
senate
as
a
whole
opposed
so
bipartisanship.
There
you
go
so
with
that.
The
motion
passes
on
the
assembly
side
and
fails
on
the
senate
side.
Senator
brooks
you're
up.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
would
accept
a
motion
on
the
options
for
travel
expenses
and
support
for
staff,
so.
E
D
Thank
you
senator
dennis.
I
have
a
motion
to
go
with
b.
Do
I
have
a
second
senator
kikifer
and
any
discussion
on
that
motion?
D
Okay,
all
in
favor,
aye,
all
opposed,
nay,
and
so
will
the
eyes
raise
their
hand.
Please
it's
dr
titus
and
the
members
of
the
senate
so
that
passes
in
the
senate
and
that
motion
passes
in
the
senate
fails
in
the
assembly.
Thank
you.
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Continuing
on
page
six,
the
assessments
and
accountability
budget.
The
subcommittee
recommended
approval
of
the
governor's
recommend
recommendation
to
continue
the
administration
of
the
measure
of
academic
progress.
Reading
assessments
funded
with
general
fund
appropriations
of
1
million
in
each
year
of
the
2021-23
biennium.
H
The
subcommittee
recommended
this
budget
also
retain
the
ability
to
transfer
general
fund
appropriations
between
fiscal
years
in
the
2021-23
biennium
with
interim
finance
committee
approval
and
enabling
language
will
be
included
in
the
2021
appropriations
act.
The
next
budget
is
the
data
systems
management
budget.
The
governor's
recommended
base
budget
for
the
2021-23
biennium
includes
general
fund
appropriations
of
40
000
in
fiscal
year,
22
for
system
costs
associated
with
virtual
auditing
of
hospitals
or
other
licensed
facilities
that
receive
reimbursement
for
educational
services
pursuant
to
nrs
387.1225.
H
After
the
datum
systems,
management
budget
was
closed
by
the
subcommittee
on
april
21st.
The
governor's
finance
office
requested
the
department
be
provided
with
the
ability
to
balance
forward
any
remaining
general
fund
appropriations
from
this
expenditure
in
fiscal
year
22
into
fiscal
year,
23
with
interim
finance
committee
approval
with
enabling
language
included
in
the
2021
appropriations
act.
H
So
the
decision
for
this
for
the
committee
today
is:
do
the
committees
wish
to
provide
authority
in
the
appropriations
act
for
the
department
to
balance
forward
any
remaining
general
fund
appropriations
related
to
virtual
auditing
of
hospital
or
other
licensed
facilities
in
fiscal
year
22
into
fiscal
year?
23
for
the
data
systems,
management
account
and
I'll,
be
mr
dross
and
I
will
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
met
and
chair.
A
A
H
A
M
A
And
ms
mangola,
if
you
would
elaborate
on
what
the
actual
program
is,
it's
we're
not
actually
auditing
the
hospitals.
It's
my
understanding,
we're
auditing
the
educational
functions
within
the
hospital.
So
if
we
could
just
give
the
committee
members
who
are
not
on
the
subcommittee
an
idea
of
what
the
actual
program
is
and
we
can
move
forward
from
there.
F
Madam
chair
for
the
record,
adam
draws
with
the
lcp
fiscal
analysis
division
for
background.
This
budget
reflects
the
department's
costs
associated
with
various
systems,
including
infinite
campus
and
nrs
387-1225
authorizes
certain
hospitals
and
other
facilities
that
provide
residential
treatment
to
children
that
also
operate
as
educational
programs
to
request
reimbursement
from
the
department
of
education
for
the
cost
of
providing
those
educational
services,
and
that
includes
those
education
of
people
with
disabilities
receiving
reimbursement.
F
These
virtual
audits
just
ensure
that
the
children
place
that
these
facilities
are
receiving
a
proper
education
and
services
and
eligible
for
reimbursement
from
the
department.
These
remote
audits
share
information,
electronically
review
records
and
verify
documentation,
and
it
may
also
lead
to
follow-up
or
in-person
audit.
F
A
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Continuing
at
the
bottom
of
page,
seven
is
the
educator
licensure
budget.
The
subcommittee
recommended
approval
of
the
governor's
recommendation
to
reclassify
one
program
officer
position
to
a
chief
compliance
investigator
position
and
one
administrative
assistant
position
to
a
compliance
investigator
position
funded
with
reserve
reductions
of
thirty
8839
dollars
over
the
two
thousand
twenty
one.
Twenty
three
biennium.
H
The
next
budget
is
the
educator
effectiveness
budget.
The
subcommittee
recommended
approval
of
the
governor's
recommendation
to
transfer
one
education,
program's
professional
position
from
the
educator
effectiveness
budget
to
the
educator
licensure
budget
and
fund
the
position
with
educator
licensed
fee
reserves,
totaling
195
384
dollars
over
the
2021-23
biennium
in
the
educator
licensure
budget.
H
So
a
decision
point
for
the
committee
today
again
is
do
the
committee's
wish
to
provide
authority
in
the
appropriations
act
for
the
department
to
balance
forward
any
remaining
general

Thank

I
move
that
we
provide

Seeing

those
in

please
signify
by
saying
aye
and
any

hearing
no

unanimously
of
the

present
and
the
part
I
like
the
best
about
that.
One
was
with
interim

committee
approval,
so
that
gives
us
a
level
of
comfort
of
being
able
to
move
forward.
Moving
on.

Thank
you,

Continuing
on
page
nine
is
the
office
of
early
learning
and
development
budget.
The
subcommittee
recommended
approval
of
the
governor's
recommendation
to
restore
general
fund
appropriations
of
6.2
million
in
each
year
of
the
2021-23
biennium
for
the
state
pre-k
program
and
changed
the
funding
methodology
using
a
standard
perceived
cost
of
8
410
that
would
fund
approximately
2
349
full-day
pre-k
seats.
H
The
subcommittee
also
recommended
the
issuance
of
a
letter
of
intent
directing
the
department
to
provide
an
update
to
the
interim
finance
committee
on
its
work
to
examine
equity
adjustments
for
various
pre-k
programs
and
any
future
changes
recommended
for
the
standard
perceived
cost
for
the
state
pre-k
program.
The
subcommittee
further
recommended
approval
of
the
governor's
recommendation
to
change
the
funding
of
two
existing
positions
from
100
federal
funds
to
50
general
funds
and
50
federal
funds.
The
next
budget
is
a
student
and
school
support
budget.
H
H
Finally,
the
subcommittee
recommended
approval
of
the
governor's
recommendation
to
restore
the
funding
for
the
nevada
commission
on
mentoring,
funded
with
general
fund
appropriations
of
25
000
in
each
year
of
the
2021-23
union.
The
next
budget
is
the
literacy
programs
budget.
The
subcommittee
recommended
approval
of
the
governor's
recommendation
to
continue
the
literacy
programs
budget,
including
three
full-time
positions,
contingent
upon
approval
of
the
governor's
recommendation
to
restorative
funding
for
the
read
by
grade
3
program
and
the
other
state
education
programs
account.
The
next
budget
is
the
cova
19
funding
miss.
A
J

H
A
A
A
On
the
record
right
now,
thank
you
jar
good
morning.
Superintendent
did
you,
if
did
you
need
the
question
repeated
or
are
you?
Are
you.
K
J
K
A
And
thank
you
superintendent.
If
you
would
just
go
ahead
and
be
sure
and
send
that
to
our
staff
and
then
we'll
make
sure
all
committee
members
get
the
answer.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
appreciate
you
being
there
to
answer
the
question
for
us
this
morning,
so
with
that
committee
members,
I
don't
believe
anyone
had
any
questions
on
the
student
school
support
or
the
literacy
program,
so
we
miss
mangola
if
you'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
address
the
covid19
funding-
and
I
know
there
are
going
to
be
a
number
of
questions
on
this.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
the
kovi
19
funding
budget.
The
subcommittee
recommended
approval
of
budget
amendment
82158
52710
budget
amendment
82158
62710
and
budget
amendment
8216302710
that
recommended
establishing
this
budget,
with
total
federal
funding
of
1.3
billion
provided
to
address
pre-k
to
pre-k
to
12
issues
related
to
covet
19
pandemic.
Based
on
the
subcommittee's
recommendation.
This
budget
will
be
included
in
the
2021
authorizations
act,
which
would,
within
the
limitations
of
the
nevada,
revised
statutes,
353.220
and
353.335,
be
subject.
Certain
changes
within
this
new
budget
to
review
an
approval
by
the
interim
finance
committee.
H
As
recommended
in
budget
amendment
82158
62710,
the
subcommittee
recommended
approval
of
expenditures
of
eight
million
dollars
for
the
donors.
Choose
project
which
is
a
website
where
teachers
can
post
classroom,
project
requests
and
donors
can
choose
the
projects
they
wish
to
support.
The
department
plans
to
fund
approximately
ten
thousand
projects
for
an
average
cost
of
eight
hundred
dollars
per
project.
Using
eight
million
in
american
rescue
plan
act
elementary
and
secondary
school
emergency
relief
funding.
H
The
department
indicates
it
meant
with
donors
choose
on
april
23rd
and
all
fees
will
be
charged
for
the
state
funding
projects.
However,
donors
choose
a
agreed
to
reduce
the
15
partnership
costs
to
10
for
the
state
funded
projects.
The
subcommittee
also
recommended
a
department
distribute
the
planned
governor's
emergency
education
relief,
funding
of
3.2
million
for
pre-k
seats
based
on
the
final
distribution
methodology
approved
by
the
2021
legislature.
H
A
A
I
believe
there
were
questions
and
concerns
brought
up
at
the
subcommittee
level
on
the
incentives
for
high
school
students
program
and
the
youth
career
pathways
platform.
I
believe
a
couple
members
of
the
senate
had
some
questions,
so
I'd
like
to
go
to
senator
kikefor
if
he'd
like
to
address
those
at
this
time.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
As
I
recall
our
subcommittee
and
as
I
see
in
this
document,
the
recommendation
out
of
the
subcommittee
was
to
place
that
into
reserve,
so
that
would
still
have
to
come
back
to
the
interim
finance
committee
for
final
approval.
If
I'm
reading,
that
correctly,
is
that
right,
ms
bangoba.
F
N
A
If
that
has
been
fully
addressed,
is,
is
that
still
the
plan?
So
I'd
like
to
ask
the
department
of
education
the
conversations
that
we
had
in
the
subcommittee
closing,
so
the
incentives
that
you're
talking
about
are
still
actually
payments
to
students
who
do
complete
was.
Is
that
correct?
Is
that
still
the
same?
Are
we
looking
at
alternate
incentives?
Also.
K
K
The
consideration
for
student
incentives
is
still
on
the
table.
What
I
would
say
is,
through
the
conversation
with
principals,
with
students
themselves
and
with
the
counselors.
I
think
there
are
some
additional
work
that
we
could
do
to
make
this
the
best
project
for
those
students
that
are
not
able
to
graduate.
A
And
thank
you
superintendent.
We
we
appreciate
you
putting
that
on
the
record
and
the
philosophy
of
putting
in
reserves,
so
we
can
continue
to
have
discussions
moving
forward.
We
know
there's
a
lot
of
moving
pieces
in
education
going
forward
and
we're
just
it's
going
to
be
tough
to
address
every
single
one
of
them.
A
A
F
Madam
chair
for
the
record
adam
draws
from
lcd
fiscal
that
is
in
addition
to,
however,
upon
reflection
this
morning,
the
1.5
percent
is
related
to
credit
card
processing,
so
you
may
want
to
have
the
department
confirm
since
it
does
not
appear,
the
state
would
be
paying
the
providing
the
funding
through
a
credit
card
payment.
A
Well,
I
hope
we're
not
going
to
put
this
amount
on
the
credit
card.
I've
been
tempted
in
the
past,
but
they
won't.
Let
me
so
superintendent
ebert.
Could
you
expand
on
that?
Please
if
that
1.5
percent
is
the
credit
card
processing
fee,
and
this
is
a
actual
cash
payment
to
donors
choose?
Where
are
we
with
that?
In
the
contract
with.
B
B
What
they're
calling
a
credit
card
processing
fee
is
actually
a
fee
that
is
incurred
by
donorschoose
as
they
make
purchases
in
order
to
fulfill
the
requests
for
the
different
projects
that
have
been
selected
for
funding
and
put
forward
by
teachers.
A
B
Tidy
hearts
for
the
record
that
is
correct
when
we
enter
into
a
contractual
agreement
with
donorschoose
for
the
eight
million
dollars
that
eight
million
dollars
will
be
used
to
fund
the
projects
identified
by
teachers
to
increment,
to
cover
the
10
fee
charged
by
dinners
donors.
Choose
for
processing
those
requests,
as
well
as
the
thirty
dollars
per
project
for
materials,
shipping
and
then
the
the
one
point
five
percent
processing
fee
for
their
their
transactions
as
they
place
their
orders.
A
I
Thank
you,
madam
chairwoman,
so
I
would
am
I
so
the
this
would
be
800
per
project
and
then
these
costs,
as
I
see
it
here,
are
also
per
project.
So
knowing
that
my
arithmetic
isn't
necessarily
always
the
best
could
staff
help
me
clarify,
so
am
I
taking
8
million
and
then
subtracting
the
10
and
then
the
1.5
and
then
the
30
or
is
it
of
each
800
project,
then
taking
that.
F
F
I
I
Thank
you
so
much,
and
then
this
is
I've
said
it
again.
I
know
the
people
on
the
subcommittee
are
like.
We
already
know,
what's
something
when
benia
thompson's
about
to
say
no,
the
department's,
like,
oh
my
gosh,
she's,
going
to
say
it
again,
but
but
once
again
I
struggle
with
using
our
state
education
dollars
to
nonprofits,
because
nonprofits
are
always
doing
good
things
and
I
support
our
non-profits
so
much.
I
You
know
I
philosophically
I
don't
see
a
difference
between
giving
money
to
a
non-profit
and
setting
money
non-site
in
a
categorical.
It's
a
dollar
that's
taken
outside
of
our
traditional
funding
plan
for
a
specific
purpose
in
a
different
accounting
method,
and
so
I
think
philosophically,
for
going
towards
throw
it
all
into
the
big
fund.
I
don't
understand
why
we
would
put
this
on
the
big
fund
and
then
just
to
reiterate
what
I
said
before
on
the
subcommittee
level.
I
A
B
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Yes,
dr
titus,
this
is
a
website
in
which
teachers
create
projects
that
they
would
like
funded
for
their
classroom,
whether
it
be
school
garden
supplies
or
adjustable
seating.
Anything
like
that
that
they
need
for
their
educational
purposes.
Individuals
can
then
donate
to
support
that
project
on
the
donorschoose
website.
B
B
I
guess,
as
assemblywoman
venus
thompson
pointed
out,
that
we're
we're
putting
money
somewhere
instead
of
directly
into
where
the
program
is
and
when
they
apply
for
something
now
you
know
they
may
need
eight
hundred
dollars
or
eight
hundred
thousand
or
something
they
end
up
with
six
hundred.
So
to
me,
I'm
just
concerned
about
the
the
the
off
the
top
cost
of
a
program
like
this
and
I'd
like
to
hear
from
the
superintendent
if
they
don't
have
the
capacity
to
handle
requests
and
that's
why
this
is
more.
K
Thank
you
for
the
record
state
superintendent,
joan
ebert.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
So
these
projects
that
are
constructed
by
our
classroom,
educators
very
in
trying
to
be
concise.
They
vary
in
the
fact
that
they
are
specific
to
each
classroom,
teacher's
needs
and
in
the
process
normally
in
a
school
building.
If
there
are
funds
made
available
at
the
school
level,
they
usually
go
to
the
school
banker.
K
The
school
banker
then
creates
requisitions
and
then
puts
the
order
out
this
eliminates
that
entire
process
within
the
school
building
and
it
becomes
then
at
a
higher
level.
The
benefits
that
nevada
has
had
with
donors
choose
over
the
years.
Over
13
million
dollars
worth
of
projects
have
been
funded
in
the
state,
and
we
have
had
thousands
of
teachers
and
we
hope
to
have
more
than
10
000
teachers
participate
and
it
alleviates
all
of
those
components
of.
If
I
need
to
go,
get
cotton
balls
from
one
piece.
K
If
I
need
to
buy
box
box
boxes
for
another
project,
if
I'm
buying
butterflies,
which
some
teachers
do
for
their
science
projects,
it
eliminates
the
teacher
work
on
it.
The
teacher
does
what
they
do
really
well
design
the
project,
and
then
donors
choose
does
all
the
other
work
for
the
teacher
and
then
mails
it
to
the
teacher.
So
they
can
conduct
their
lessons.
A
I
didn't
know
about
that
before.
Thank
you
and
and
thank
you
and
dr
titus.
This
was
one
of
the
first
times
I
had
heard
about
it
before
I
have
a
couple
of
more
so
I'm
going
to
go
to
speaker
fryerson
next,
and
then
I
have
mr
roberts
in
the
queue
and
then
I'll
flip
over
to
this
side.
So
give
me
a
moment
guys.
L
You,
madam
chair
and
I
was
aware
of
donors
choose
and
it
wasn't
because
the
school
district
or
the
department
told
me,
and
so
I'm
wondering
if
we
know,
if
other
state,
how
many
other
states
actually
have
donors
choose.
It
goes
through
the
state
or
the
school
district
as
opposed
to
relying
on
their
own
word
of
mouth
and
advertising,
so
that
folks
can
give
directly
to
to
teacher
projects.
K
A
E
You,
madam
chair,
and
I
you
know,
I'm
familiar
with
donorschoose
I've
used
it
myself
and
and
when
you
use
the
platform
me
as
a
donor,
I
I
get
to
look
at
the
projects
and
I
get
to
choose
the
project
that
I
fund
in
in
this.
This
way,
not
only
are
we
taking
a
lot
off
the
top,
but
there's
no
there's
no
choice
in
in
the
donors
like
either.
You
know
on
where
the
money
is
going.
E
I'm
just
curious
to
get
ten
thousand
eight
hundred
dollar
grants
supposedly
or
a
little
less
600
something
dollar
grants
who
chooses
which
teacher
gets
funded.
Is
it
the
platform?
Is
it
a
first?
Come
first
serve?
How
is
that
decided.
K
Thank
you,
superintendent,
eber,
for
the
record,
the
question
in
this
instance,
you
know.
Obviously
there
is
a
maximum
at
this
point
in
time
with
the
10
000,
so
we
would
be
working
with
the
school
districts
with
the
teachers
with
our
stakeholders
to
make
sure
that
there
is
an
awareness
of
the
availability
of
the
projects
and
then
we
will
be
working
with
donors
choose
on
those
parameters
for
approval
and
then,
when
the
funds
are
fixed
fully
expended,
the
program
would
end.
E
Follow
madam
chair,
so
so
you're
you're
actually
going
to
be
expending
some
some
manpower
to
facilitate
this.
In
addition
to
the
the
overhead
costs
that
were
given
to
donors
choose
right,
so
so
you're
actually
going
to
be
involved
in
selecting
which
projects
get
funded
and
which.
K
K
H
K
E
And
thank
you
for
the
answer
and
it
just
seems
like
we're
expending
a
lot
of
effort
and
resources,
but
we're
still
losing
over
a
million
dollars
of
the
of
the
funds
to
use
their
platform,
and
it
almost
seems
like,
with
a
little
more
effort,
we'd
be
able
to
get
more
money
in
the
classroom
rather
than
take.
You
know,
give
it
to
the
donor's
shoes,
and
I
I
do
like
donors
choose.
E
A
And-
and
thank
you,
mr
robertson,
I
know
this
is
this
is
getting
a
little
bit
further
than
a
subcommittee
closing.
But
this
is
a
big
issue
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
everyone
has
all
the
information
that
they
need
speaker
ferris,
and
it
has
to
be
recognized
for
a
second
time
as
a
follow-up
to
mr
roberts
and.
L
L
I
apologize
thank
you
for
the
indulgence,
madam
chair,
but
my
colleague
brought
up
a
point.
I
wasn't
really
in
tune
with,
and
that
was
this.
L
A
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair
superintendent,
ebert
for
the
record.
We
would
be
setting
the
rubric
and
the
parameters
for
the
allocation
of
the
funds.
We
would
not
be
examining
every
single
all
10
000,
but
we
would
be
setting
the
structure
and
then
auditing
in
between
on
those
funds
on
the
approval
of
those
funds.
A
Thank
you,
superintendent!
That's
what
we
needed.
It's
not
an
individual
approval,
but
you're
going
to
be
setting
the
parameters
by
which
those
dollars
will
be
used
depending
upon
the
projects
that
the
teachers
request
through
the
portal
through
through
donors
choose.
So
it
makes
that
clear.
I
promised
the
senate.
I
would
come
this
way
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
and
start
with
assemblywoman
tolls.
Oh
no
you're
in
the
assembly,
I've
got
to
go
to
the
senate
hold
on
just
a
second.
A
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
I
think
they're.
I
think
this
is
a
really
good
platform
for
an
individual
or
a
business
that
wants
to
help
a
teacher
help
a
school.
I
worry
about
the
scope,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
providing
such
like
a
gross
amount
of
funding
and
because
the
administrative
costs
really
do
stack
up.
N
If,
if
it's
10,
plus
the
sales
tax
is
going
to
be
charged
because
donors
choose
is
making
the
purchase
right,
if,
if
the
districts
were
making
the
purchase,
they'd
be
tax
exempt,
so
we're
paying
sales
tax
on
stuff.
Now
that
we
wouldn't
be
otherwise
if
it
was
through
the
district-
and
you
know
with
the
20
you're
at
a
20
overhead
really
fast,
and
I
just
I
think,
that's
steep
for
what
what
what
the
mission
should
be
and
there
might
be
a
better
way
to
get
resources
into
the
classroom.
A
Thank
you
senator
so
with
that
senator
dunder
loop.
J
Thank
you
very
much.
I
you
know
we've
bounced
around
a
lot
today
and
I
would
just
say
that
just
for
terms
of
information,
if
you
go
to
the
donorschoose
website,
they
actually
under
the
financial
link,
have
some
really
good
information.
One
of
the
things
that
they
do
is
they
break
down
an
actual
project.
So
a
teacher
wants
12
chairs
because
their
chairs
are
wobbly
and
if
you
look
at
that,
they
break
down
exactly
what
happens
with
the
money.
J
So
to
those
that
were
questioning
that,
and
then
I
think
that
I
hear
everybody's
angst
with
this
like
I
said,
and
I
totally
understand
it
and
I'm
taking
it
all
in,
but
I
also
know
that
if
I'm
a
classroom
teacher
and
the
second
grade
teachers
are
going
to
go
together
and
get
science
supplies.
J
This
is
a
way
I
can
put
in
and
and
get
those
science
supplies
and
get
eight
hundred
dollars
worth
of
sign
supplies
for
more
than
just
one
teacher.
So
I
think
we
need
to
you
know.
Well,
while
I
get
the
vacuum
story,
maybe
I
ordered
science
supplies
and
my
neighbor
ordered
the
vacuum
so
that
we
could
keep
our
classrooms
clean.
So
I
think
we
have
to
put
that
in
perspective
too,
that
sometimes
teachers
want
different
things
for
different
reasons.
J
A
And-
and
thank
you
senator
I-
I
don't
think
the
concerns
necessarily
arise
around
supporting
teachers
and
the
projects
that
they
want
to
do.
I
think
it's
more
around
the
process,
the
the
fees,
how
the
actual
protocols
in
this
will
actually
work
is
where
I'm
hearing
most
of
the
concerns,
I
think
now
that
I've
discovered
donors
choose,
I'm
probably
going
to
be
doing
it
a
lot
more
in
the
future.
I
I
don't
think
this
is
anything
about
teachers
and
projects.
A
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
think
we've
discussed
this.
You
know
now
quite
a
bit,
but
something
that
I
noticed
when
I
was
on
donors
choose
is
that
when
you
go
through
their
normal
process,
there's
there's
matches
and
so
google.org.
J
Again,
when
you
have
external
folks
deciding
what
they
want
to
donate
to
on
behalf
of
a
teacher
or
a
classroom,
this
is,
is
very
transparent
and
provides
information
that
will
really
help
the
teachers
get
what
they
need.
J
A
All
right
there
were
a
couple
more
questions,
but
I
think
I
can
kind
of
see
where
we're
going.
So
when
we
get
to
that
point
we'll,
I
think
I
have
an
option
that
we
might
be
able
to
use,
but
I
will
go
to
assemblywoman
tolls
next
and
then
I'll
come
back
to
assemblyman
haven.
B
B
Thank
you.
So
it's
not
the
organization
donors
choose,
that's
making
the
final
decision,
it's
the
donors,
giving
the
money
to
donor's
shoes.
That's
that's
what
I
wasn't
clear
about.
Oh
and
I
I
apologize
we
got,
we
got,
we
got
the
same
wording
between
the
organization
and
then
the
actual
donors.
So
that's
that's
just
the
clarifying
question
I
had.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair
superintendent,
ebert
for
the
record,
so
I
think
just
amplifying
the
ability
for
everyone
to
donate.
Thank
you
to
our
classroom,
getting
these
funds.
So,
if
you
were
to
parallel,
compare
the
state
would
be
the
donor
in
this
instance
versus
an
individual
or
philanthropy.
K
J
A
That
is
correct,
senator
raddy.
This
would
have
nothing
to
do
with
outside
of
this
program.
This
is
the
state
buying
and
contributing
to
this
program.
I
assemblyman
roberts,
speaker
fryerson,
can
still
pick
our
prop,
so
it's
not
going
to
eliminate
the
option
of
the
citizens
of
the
state
of
nevada
being
able
to
choose
to
go
through
this
portal
to
support
teachers
and
students
in
in
the
classroom.
This
is
in
addition
to
the
other
work,
that's
currently
being
done
in
the
state.
Thank.
J
You-
and
I
think,
we've
been
very
great
on
that
in
a
couple
of
our
question
is
answered,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
very
clear
this
has
not
changed
the
decision-making
power
of
any
donor
nor
the
costs
associated
with
those
donations,
and
I
will
say,
if
you
go
to
the
donor,
choose
website.
There
is
a
very
nice
page
that
it
gives
you
a
transparent
breakdown
of
what
a
project
costs
and
tells
you
exactly
how
your
fees
and
taxes
and
everything
are
handled
for
your
individual
project.
If
folks
are
interested.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
too
use
the
the
donor
choose
website.
B
Direction,
heidi
hearts,
for
the
record,
the
request
that
was
put
forward
on
behalf
of
the
department
of
education
is
for
the
eight
million
dollars
of
federal
funds
that
we
would
recommend
designating
for
this
purpose.
We
did
not
envision
adding
a
maintenance
or
a
match
requirement
to
these
projects.
We
wanted
to
hope
that
this
would
be
a
quick
way
of
making
these
investments
in
classrooms
to
specific
teachers
who
have
projects
for
which
they
would
like
additional
funding
as
quickly
as
possible.
M
Thank
you,
chair
and,
and
I
think
on
this
particular
issue.
My
colleagues
have
really
deeply
dove
into
it
and
and
the
questions
my
ultimate
concern
comes
with
the
fact
that,
when
we're
speaking
about
education
and
what
needs
to
be
funding
and
funded
and
the
different
options
and
different
holes
that
we
have,
I
guess
I'm
really
just
wondering
at
the
core
how
this
came
to
be
an
idea
or
a
suggestion,
and
and
if
funding
this,
what
other
programs
are
we
missing
out
on
like
what?
What?
M
What
will
we
avoid
or
be
neglected,
because
we
also
have
a
responsibility
to
nevadans,
and
that
includes
all
of
our
students,
all
of
our
parents,
all
of
our
educators
and
and
everything
in
our
state
that
relies
on
education-
and
I
just
feel
like
is
this
something
that
everyone
in
the
public
is
supporting.
Is
this
something
that
we
feel
will
get
us
to
our
ultimate
goal
by
funding
these
projects,
instead
of
so
many
of
the
other
direct
instructional
and
social
socialization
programs
that
we
have?
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair
superintendent.
Ebert
for
the
record,
I
think,
as
noted,
this
is
the
opportunity
where
teachers
have
the
power
to
direct
the
funds
and
projects,
as
they
are
doing
the
instruction
and
closest
to
the
classroom.
K
Understanding
that
peace,
this
body
has
approved
you
know
additional
funding
for
our
social
workers,
social,
emotional
learning,
when
I
link
that
out
of
funds
that
have
been
approved
to
these
funds
as
well,
you
have
the
direction
of
the
of
the
state
and
the
body
for
those
positions
which
we
know
are
greatly
needed,
and
then
a
teacher
and
we've
seen
in
donors
choose
especially
here
in
nevada,
where
our
teachers
have
asked
for
social
emotional,
supports
books,
projects
on
those
pieces.
K
A
I'm
hearing
the
concerns
of
the
committee
not
just
concerns
but
still
questions
on
what
direction
to
go,
and
the
subcommittee
did
accept
this
particular
budget
amendment
doing
so,
knowing
that
there
were
concerns
and
wanting
to
bring
it
to
the
full
committee
for
conversation
for
everyone,
not
making
a
decision
on
this
at
the
subcommittee
level.
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
go
to
ms
kaufman,
I
believe
there's
an
option
that
we
can
all
look
at
that
we'll
we'll
address
some
of
the
concerns
and
some
of
the
questions
that
have
arisen
so
miss
kaufman.
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
think
that
makes
perfect
sense,
and,
and
do
you
need
a
motion
to
accomplish
that.
A
I
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
no
other
questions
and
everyone
understands
what
we're
doing
and
it
seems
like
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
head
nodding.
Yes
and
some
raised
eyebrows,
but
other
than
that.
I
think
we're
good.
So
with
that,
I
would
accept
a
motion.
Senator
brooks.
D
I
think
the
motion
is
to
place
the
8
million
dollars
from
budget
amendment
a
2

5

into

to
discuss
how
those
will
be
handled
at
ifc.
A
Oh,
I'm
sorry
miss
mangolo.
I
think
I'm
I'm
sorry
senator
brooks
had
another
question.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
sorry,
to
interrupt.
I
just
I
wanted
to
get
some
just
a
little
bit
of
clarification,
going
back
to
the
entirety
of
the
coven
19
funding
and
we
have
1.3
billion
dollars
of
federal
funding
going
to
our
k-12
here
in
the
state
of
nevada,
just
to
address
issues
related
to
the
covet
19
pandemic.
In
addition
to
all
other
funding
that
k-12
will
get,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
if
we
could
just
really
quickly
briefly
identify
the
1.3
billion.
F
Billion
madam
chair,
in
response,
adam
drost,
with
lcp
fiscal
that
funding
includes
714.7
million
dollars,
provided
so
far
from
the
american
rescue
plan
funding,
as
well
as
governor's
emergency
education
relief,
funding
of
30.6
million
dollars,
as
well
as
elementary
secondary
and
education,
besser
funding
of
69
million
dollars,
as
well
as
455.9
million
dollars.
D
Thank
you,
mr
drost,
that
that's
exactly
what
I
was
looking
for
and
and
and
so
I
mean
that's-
that's
a
significant
amount
of
money,
1.3
billion
dollars,
in
addition
to
any
other
funding
that
will
go
to
k-12
in
the
state,
and
I
just
I
just
appreciate
you
clarifying
where
that's
coming
from
for
me.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
senator.
So
with
that
clarification,
I
believe
we
can
go
to
miss
mangola
for
the
final
statements
on
this
particular
budget,
so
miss
mangola.
Please.

industry
for
the
2021-23
biennium
when
compared
to
the
governor's
recommended
budget.
The
subcommittee's
closing
recommendations
resulted
in
no
change
in
general
fund
appropriations
for
the
2021-23
biennium
budget.
G
However,
the
subcommittee's
closing
recommendations
resulted
in
a
decrease

appropriations
of
2804
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
2022
and
12
278
dollars

The

subcommittee
on

government
has
completed
its
review
of
the
budgets
for
the
department
of
tourism
and
cultural
affairs.
The
closing
recommendations
of
the
subcommittee
have
resulted
in
an
increase
in
general
fund
appropriations
of
forty
thousand
nine

The

recommended

in

from
the
tourism

The
subcommittee
did
not
recommend
approving
approval
of
reducing
tourism
development
grants
by
fifty
thousand
dollars,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
instead
recommended
utilizing.

O
O
A
And
thank
you
very
much
miss
morris
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
the
subcommittee
chair
and
the
members
of
the
subcommittee
for
their
their
work
on
this.
These
are
the
issues
that
we're
all
passionate
about.
This
is
all
part
of
our
culture
and
and
what
we
look
at-
and
I
know
some
of
the
conversations
about
some
of
these
cuts-
must
have
been
very,
very
tough,
the
same
way
they
were
in
the
health
and
human
services
subcommittee.
A
So
with
that
I'll
open
it
up
for
comments,
I
believe
senator
kitkefer
has
a
comment.
N
Thank
you,
madam
jerry.
I
appreciate
that.
I
recognize
that
the
a
lot
of
you
know
this
is
room
tax
money,
it's
being
moved
around
room
tax
money's
also
been,
I
know,
reprojected
and
you
know
certainly
wouldn't
want
to
vote
against
the
recommendation
from
the
subcommittee
based
on
the
knowledge
they
had
at
the
time.
A
And
I
appreciate
that
senator
kay
kuffer,
I
think
you
would
get
agreement
pretty
much
across
the
board
front
of
the
aisle
and
back
on
that.
But
decisions
had
to
be
made
in
a
certain
moment
in
time,
but
that
time
has
now
changed
and
we
can
have
those
conversations
in
the
future
and
I
look
forward
to
having
them
senator
brooks.
D
D
A
I
have
a
motion
from
senator
brooks
a
second
from
vice
chair,
monroe,
moreno,
any
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition
passes
unanimously
of
the
members
present.
I
believe
our
last
item
this
morning
is
the
department
of
veterans.
B
Good
morning,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
record.
Stephanie
dave
fiscal
analysis
division.
I
will
be
presenting
the
subcommittee
report
for
the
department
of
veterans
services
this
morning.
The
joint
subcommittee
on
public
safety,
natural
resources
and
transportation
has
completed
its
review
of
the
department
of
veterans
services
budgets
for
the.
O
B
In
fiscal
year,
2022
to
add
a
chiller
replacement
project
at
the
southern
nevada
veterans
home,
as
recommended
by
the
governor,
since
the
replacement
of
the
chiller
system
was
approved
by
the
interim
finance
committee
on
january
27.
2021
to
expedite
the
project,
the
subcommittee
recommends
closing
the
following
department
of
veterans
services
budgets,
as
included
in
the
executive
budget
with
technical
or
no
adjustments.
B
A
Thank
you
miss
day.
Are
there
any
questions
from
any
committee
members
at
this
time
we
do
have
miss
miller
with
us
if
we
need
so
I'm
not
seeing
any
questions
or
comments
with
that
senator
brooks
thank.
A
A
We
can't
imagine
what
the
last
year
and
a
half
has
been
trying
to
keep
everyone
safe
and
well,
and
we
really
do
appreciate
the
long
days
and
sleepless
nights
that
I
know
all
of
your
folks
put
in
and
having
them
reach
out
to
us
on
a
regular
basis
to
give
us
updates
on
what's
been
going
on
at
the
two
veterans
home.
We
we
greatly
appreciate
everything
that
you've
done
for
the
last
year
and
a
half.
So
thank
you
very
much
so
with
that.
A
Seeing
no
other
questions
or
comments
all
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition
hearing
no
opposition
passes
unanimously
of
the
members
present.
I
believe
that
concludes
our
work
in
subcommittee
budget
closings
this
morning.
The
only
thing
that
is
left
on
our
agenda
would
be
public
comment.
A
We
probably
do
have
public
comment
here
in
the
room
and
then
we
will
go
to
public
comment
through
broadcast
services.
So
with
that
mr
dailey.
P
Yesterday's
meeting
of
the
economic
forum
brought
significant
good
news
for
nevada's
budget,
a
total
of
900
million
dollars
more
and
better
than
projected
state
revenue
for
this
fiscal
year
and
the
upcoming
biennium
nsca
hopes
you
are
able
to
backfill
proposed
cuts
to
k-12
education
and
other
important
state
services,
including
156
million
dollars
to
class
size
reduction
and
32
million
dollars
in
early
literacy,
supports
related
to
the
read
by
grade
3
program.
P
While
the
economic
forum
confirmed
an
improving
economic
picture,
economic
recovery
alone
won't
fix
the
issue
of
chronic
underfunding
of
public
education
and
the
influx
of
federal
funds.
While
significant
are
only
one
time
we
mentioned
yesterday
in
the
k-12
budget
subcommittee
in
lieu
of
new
funding
that
sb
543
created
the
commission
on
school
funding,
charged
with
recommending
funding
targets
and
identifying
revenues
to
fully
fund
the
associated
cost.
The
commission
recently
published
their
preliminary
recommendations.
P
We
hope
decision
makers
become
familiar
with
this
document.
The
commission
proposed
reaching
adequate
funding
by
increasing
education
investment
by
2
billion
over
the
next
10
years
that
works
out
to
about
400
million
dollars
and
enhancements
to
education
funding
in
each
biennium.
Starting
with
this
session.
In
their
revenue
plan,
the
funding
commission
focused
on
property
tax
and
expanding
the
base
of
the
sales
tax.
As
a
key
education,
stakeholder
nsa
has
participated
in
every
meeting
of
the
commission
on
school
funding,
both
in
person
and
by
submitting
comment
remotely.
P
On
the
other
hand,
sb
543
was
developed
behind
closed
doors,
wasn't
introduced
until
the
99th
day
of
last
session
had
but
a
single
public
hearing
with
the
bill
passing
moments
before
sani
die.
This
bill
created
the
commission
on
school
funding,
which
includes
no
active
educator
voice,
but
the
process
you
put
in
motion
with
the
passage
of
sb543
recommends
funding
targets
and
a
revenue
plan
to
meet
these
targets
over
the
course
of
10
years.
It's
now
up
to
you,
economic
growth
is
not
enough.
P
Without
serious
efforts
to
pass
new
revenue
to
meet
funding
targets
would
indicate
forces
behind
sb
543,
never
actually
intended
to
deliver
a
funding
plan
to
benefit
all
nevada
students,
while
wrestling
with
this
ongoing
issue
of
education
under
funding,
nsca
continues
to
call
on
you
to
fix
our
other
policy
concerns
with
sb
543
in
three
simple
steps:
one
grandfather,
existing
zoom
and
victory
schools,
two
ensure
hold
harmless
provisions,
actually
do
no
harm
to
school
districts
and
three
eliminate
the
anti-union
ending
fund
balance
language
in
the
bill.
Thank
you.
