E
H
Thank
you
chair
good
afternoon.
My
name
is
mark
dubrava
d-o-u-b-r-a-v-a.

H
H
E
This
partnership
will
advance
the
teaching
and
clinical
research
missions
of
renowned
health
and
the
school
of
medicine.
Today
I'm
joined
by
dr
thomas
schwenk,
dean
of
the
university
of
nevada,
reno
school
of
medicine
and
dr
tony
sloanum,
ceo
of
renowned
health.
They
will
walk
the
committee
through
the
bill
and
provide
an
overview
of
the
affiliation
or
the
proposed
affiliation
between
you
and
our
med
and
renowned
health.
E
I
Go
ahead.
Thank
you,
mr
chair
tom
schweink,
schwenk
dean
of
the
university
of
nevada,
reno
school
of
medicine.
My
thanks
to
you,
mr
chair,
again
for
your
sponsorship
of
the
bill
and
for
holding
this
hearing.
My
thanks
to
the
committee
for
their
willingness
to
hear
about
this
exciting
venture,
and
I
also
express
my
thanks
to
chair
de
brava
for
coming
on
to
the
meeting
to
express
his
support.
It
great
means
a
great
deal
to
me
personally,
as
well
as
to
the
entire
medical
education
enterprise.
I
My
contribution
this
afternoon
will
be
to
describe
this
proposed
integration
as
an
example
of
what
342
would
allow
and
to
describe
the
benefits
to
you
and
our
med
in
particular,
but
perhaps
more
importantly,
to
describe
the
benefits
to
the
community.
I
I'm
not
an
attorney
or
a
legislator,
but
my
understanding
is
that
nrs,
396
and
281
do
allow
for
these
types
of
partnerships,
but
that
342
provides
much
more
clear
direction
to
the
board
of
regents
for
managing
some
of
the
personnel
and
contractual
aspects
of
these
partnerships
and
gives
more
clear
guidance
to
all
of
us
for
how
to
manage
this
consistent
with
nevada
statue.
I
I
I
This
type
of
partnership
exists
for
nearly
all
medical
schools
in
the
country
there
are
152
or
154
md
medical
schools
in
the
country
and
of
those
at
least
140
have
high
level
integrations
like
this,
and
many
of
these
date
back
decades.
They
are
well
known
harvard,
for
example,
has
these
types
of
relationships
with
their
teaching
hospitals,
washington,
university,
with
barnes
jewish,
and
there
are
dozens
of
examples
of
these
types
of
partnerships
and
the
reason
that
they
have.
I
These
is
because
medical
education
and
medical
research
is
changing
so
dramatically
and
requires
a
very
large
and
high
level
sophisticated
clinical
platform
within
which
to
to
accomplish
as
teaching
and
research
missions.
Medical
schools
are
fundamentally
different
than
any
other
school
at
the
university,
so
colleges
of
engineering
do
not
run
factories.
For
example,
colleges
of
businesses
do
not
run
businesses.
College
of
education
does
not
run
schools,
but
medical
schools
have
to
have
a
very
large
and
sophisticated
clinical
platform
within
which
to
accomplish
it,
its
missions.
I
So
I
will
describe
some
of
the
features
of
this
proposed
integration,
so
you
get
a
sense
for
what
342
would
do,
and
I
will
focus
certainly
on
the
benefits
to
unr
med,
but
I
also
will
focus
on
the
benefits
to
the
community,
because
that's
ultimately
what
what
this
does.
I
The
overall
integration
goal
is
to
develop
an
integrated
clinical
enterprise,
so
the
clinically
facing
sides
of
the
medical
school
with
our
counterparts
at
renowned
health
so
as
to
have
an
integrated
approach
to
our
educational
missions
and
our
research
enterprise,
and
we
look
to
have
a
shared
vision
to
have
aligned
governance
and
to
have
unified
leadership
for
the
clinical
components
of
these
two
organizations.
I
As
an
aside,
I
will
note
that
we
have
received
feedback
that
some
may
believe
that
this
partnership
would
reduce
our
commitment
to
underserved
patients
and
to
medicaid
population
in
particular,
and,
and
that
is
absolutely
false.
We
are
very
clear
about
our
continued
commitment
to
these
underserved
populations
and
I
believe
this
partnership
actually
expands
our
ability
to
meet
that
mission.
I
I
This
is
what
would
allow,
for
example,
for
the
possibility
of
an
increased
medical
school
class
size
in
the
future
new
residency
programs,
new
fellowships
new
training
programs
that
would
enhance
care
in
the
the
community,
expanded
access
to
care
for
for
the
entire
community,
new
clinical
research
programs.
That
would
change
the
way
medical
care
is
delivered.
I
This
is
not
a
privatization
of
unr
med.
There
are
major
components
of
our
school,
our
basic
science
research,
which
is
so
highly
rated
our
basic
science
instruction.
Our
laboratory
programs
are
pre-clinical
instruction,
medical
school
admissions,
our
pipeline
programs,
many
aspects
of
the
school
that
will
continue
to
be
accredited
as
a
state-funded
public
medical
school
and
the
fundamental
reason
for
that
is
so
as
to
maintain
affordable
tuition
and
maintain
access
for
nevada
students,
as
well
as
our
ability
to
continue
to
serve
underserved
patient
populations.
I
We
intend
for
this
agreement
to
be
very
long
term.
There
may
be
different
numbers
that
we
apply
to
that
at
the
moment.
The
agreement
specifies
a
50-year
commitment
just
so
we
have
an
extremely
long-term
horizon,
but
there
are
many
checkpoints
along
the
way
and
there
are
mechanisms
for
termination
under
extenuating
circumstances,
there's
a
reason
for
that
long-term
horizon
as
it's
true
for
other
medical
schools
and
healthcare
systems
in
the
in
the
country.
I
There
are
inevitable
bumps
in
the
road.
These
agreements
are
complex,
they
involve
large
complex
missions
and
institutions,
and
what
we
want
is
the
ability
to
ride
over
those
inevitable
speed
bumps
with
a
long-term
commitment
to
each
other,
so
as
to
maintain
our
focus
on
the
benefits
to
the
community.
What
we
do
not
want
is
to
have
some
of
the
inevitable
glitches
that
come
up
to
cause
future
leaders
to
say.
Well,
we
tried
that
and
let's
just
walk
away,
we
want
to
maintain
a
long-term
vision.
I
There's
a
long,
I'm
sorry
there's
an
emphasis
on
integrated
operations
and
governance
whenever
possible,
so
as
to
achieve
better
outcomes
and
efficiency.
A
notable
example
of
the
proposed
integrated
governance
is
the
appointment
of
the
unr
president
to
voting
membership
on
the
renown
board
of
directors.
I
The
president
of
unr,
under
the
authority
of
the
board
of
regents,
is
the
appointing
authority
for
the
dean
who
also
serves
as
the
cao
the
chief
academic
officer,
but
with
substantial
input
and
consultation
and
agreement
from
the
renowned
ceo
and
the
reason
for
that
is
to
maintain
that
commitment
by
both
senior
officials
to
that
critical
bridge.
I
Primary
oversight
for
all
academic
activities,
as
is
clear
from
the
above,
is
the
responsibility
of
unrmed.
Primary
oversight
for
all
clinical
activities
is
the
responsibility
for
renowned
health,
clinical
operations,
leadership,
there's
a
reciprocal
integrated
governance,
and
that
is
that
a
senior
clinical
leader
at
renown.
I
So
there's
a
reciprocal
crossover
relationship
there,
university
health,
which
is
our
clinical
corporation,
a
separate
corporation
but
highly
integrated
with
the
school,
will
transfer
to
renown
through
a
member
substitution
agreement
so
that
the
corporation
as
a
whole
moves
over
to
renowned
health,
renowned
health
and
is
responsible
for
all
clinical
infrastructure,
all
clinical
staff,
but
not
faculty.
That's
a
key
distinction
so
responsible
for
clinical
staff,
but
clinical
faculty
members
continue
to
be
appointed
to
the
school.
I
I
All
clinical
staff
again
employed
by
renowned,
but
not
clinical
faculty
members
renowned
to
be
responsible
for
all
clinical
expenses
such
as
currently
leased.
Space
and
renowned
health
would
then
provide
reimbursement
to
the
school
of
medicine
for
the
clinical
portion
of
all
of
our
physician
faculty
services
and
finally,
to
wrap
up.
There
are
some
substantial
funds
flow
agreements
that
are
part
of
this.
I
In
this
case,
initially
renowned
has
committed
to
an
academic
support
payment
of
1.5
million
dollars
to
the
school,
to
support
academic
programs
that
then
support
clinical
distinction
and
grow
clinical
programs
in
the
community.
So
it's
an
example.
I
would
offer
of
how
academic
success
and
clinical
success
come
together
for
the
benefit
of
both
partners
and
for
the
community
and
finally,
scholarship
support
renowned
health
is
committed
to
350
000
a
year
at
the
moment
for
scholarship
support.
That
concludes
my
portion
of
the
contribution,
mr
chair.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
I'm.
I
am
going
to
turn
it
over
to
my
vice
chair
to
handle
the
rest
of
this.
The
meeting
as
we
get
going
in
my
in
my
haste,
to
get
the
meeting
going.
I
forgot
that
I
needed
to
have
her.
Do
it
while
I
was
doing
my
own
bail,
so
I'm
gonna
make
sure
that
she
can
handle
that
and
take
care
of
that.
So
do
we
have
other,
and
before
I
do
that,
is
there
anybody
else.
That
needs
to
give
comments.
I
E
E
We
are
excited
about
the
opportunity
to
develop
an
even
stronger
affiliation
that
we
believe
is
in
the
best
interest
of
students,
as
it
relates
to
their
clinical
education
and
the
community
for
their
health
and
their
health
care.
We
also
believe
that
we
will
be
able
to
work
together
and
strengthen
our
workforce
in
nevada,
as
we
continue
to
invest
in
the
health
and
healthcare
needs
of
our
communities.
E
This
is
a
contemporary
model
model
drawn
from
around
the
country
and
is
notable
because
we
will
now
be
able
to
work
together
to
help
improve
our
state's
health
more
efficiently
and
effectively
than
we
could
do
singularly
in
the
past,
and
this
bill
also
allows
the
reasons
to
do
good
things
that
enhance
our
community's
health.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
participate
today
in
support
of
this
bill
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
C
Thank
you
very
much
all
for
presenting
today
and
thank
you
for
being
here
and
committee.
I
would
ask
if
there
are
any
questions.
B
Thank
you,
madam
vice
chair.
I
have
to
disclose.
I
was
born
at
renowned
before
renown
was
renowned
and
my
firstborn
was
born
at
renown
before
redown
was
born
was
renowned
and
I
went
to
unr
when
it
was
a
two-year
school
and
that's
when
unr
was
unr
and
I
obviously
have
deep
ties.
I
think
this
is
a
wonderful
partnership
that
you're
doing
and
as
I
look
at
my
role
in
full
disclosure,
a
clinical
education
associate
dean
at
turo
university.
I
Tom
schwenk
for
the
record,
I
think,
you're
absolutely
right,
dr
hardy.
I
think
that
this
opens
up
tremendous
opportunities
across
the
state
and-
and
I
should
make
clear
I
neglected
to
do
so-
that
this
bill
is
expressly
written
to
include
both
unr
and
unlv,
because
we
believe
this
is
the
future
of
medical,
education
and
medical
research
across
the
state.
I
I
wouldn't
I
want
to
speak
directly
for
dean
mark
khan,
but
I
have
discussed
this
with
him
and
he
has
expressed
his
strong
support
and
and
looks
forward
to
the
time
when
unlv
may
take
advantage
of
this.
Although
I
will
say
that
their
relationship
with
umc
is
already
at
a
at
a
somewhat
higher
level,
and
I
suspect
he
would
like
to
to
do
even
more
in
that
regard.
I
I
I
think
that
we
would
be
very
receptive
to
more
cross-fertilization
of
students.
As
you
know,
residency
education
is
much
harder
because
there
are
very
strict
prohibitions
with
regard
to
where
residents
rotate
and
the
funding
sources
and
responsibility
for
those
residents.
Students
have
a
bit
more
breadth.
We
already
have
a
number
of
our
students,
of
course,
going
to
las
vegas
for
rotations
in
various
facilities
and
we'd
like
to
see
more
of.
B
Them
I
guess
I
didn't
hear
the
complete
answer.
When
roseman
comes
on
board
and
churros
on
board,
we
still
have
opportunities
to
do
clinical
rotations
with.
I
Medical
students-
I'm
sorry,
I
must
not
have-
I-
must
have
broken
up
yes,
medical
student
exchanges
are
very
welcome
in
in
any
of
these
partnerships.
I
think,
as
what
I've
said
was
that
residency
rotations
are
much
more
restricted
and
for
various
funding
and
and
other
reasons
that
medical
students,
I
think,
are
more
mobile
in
that
regard.
C
F
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
I'm
wondering
I
know
that
the
nursing
programs,
the
medical
programs
at
unr,
are
at
capacity
and
they're
really
difficult
to
get
into.
Will
this
partnership
allow
for
more
students
to
for
you
to
be
able
to
expand
the
program
and
have
more
students
get
into
the
program.
I
Yes,
tom
schwenk
for
the
record,
I
think
that's
part
of
the
plan.
I
would
say
that
we
have
to
you,
know,
go
carefully
and
make
sure
we're
developing
the
appropriate
teaching
platform
make
sure
that
we
have
provided
proper
faculty
development
for
hundreds
of
renowned
physicians
who
will
come
online
as
teachers.
I
We
continue
to,
of
course,
have
tremendous
relationships
in
the
community
with
hundreds
of
volunteer
community
physicians
and
those
who
continue
to
be
prized,
and
so
you
know
we're
very
selfish,
we're
looking
for
the
best
of
both,
which
is
to
have
excellent
relationships
in
the
community,
but
also
a
huge
input
from
the
large
renowned
health
system
and
renowned
medical
group.
So
that's
a
long
answer
to
say
senator
yes,
we
would
like
to
expand.
I
We
we
believe
that
we
and
you
and
now
unlv,
are
probably
two
of
the
very
smallest
medical
schools
in
the
country
and
we've
had
an
excellent
pipeline
of
nevada
students.
That
pipeline
has
increased
over
time
with
increasing
interest
in
the
two
schools.
So
we
would
like
to
serve
the
state
in
in
that
regard.
C
Is
that
it
senator
lange,
I'm
sorry,
yes!
Thank
you.
Okay,
thank
you.
I
believe
senator
donate
has
a
question.
G
Thank
you
vice
chair
don
darrell,
loop
and
nice
to
see
you
again
d
schwink.
G
I
just
had
a
quick
question,
so
I
started
doing
a
deep
dive
yesterday
as
to
like
some
of
the
research
between
healthcare
organizations
and
medical
schools
when
they
collaborate-
and
you
know,
there's
a
as
you
as
you
already
mentioned-
there's
wide
vari
variance
with
how
institutions
partner
with
external
organizations
when
I'm
reading
this
bill
does
this
limit
is
the
intent
just
to
for
like
a
university
system
to
go
into
an
agreement
with
just
one
entity,
or
would
it
be
what
I
open
the
opportunity
for,
for
instance,
right
now
to
partner
with
renowned
or
possibly
in
the
future,
for
the
unr
school
medicine
to
partner
with
other
organizations
in
similar
stances
just
to
start
meeting
the
needs
is
that
something
that
would
be
entertained
in
this
bill.
I
My
understanding-
and
there
are
experts
other
than
me
who
should
comment
what
this
bill
provides-
is
guard
rails
for
the
board
of
regents
to
guide
the
medical
schools
in
these
partnerships.
I
don't
think
it
speaks
otherwise
to
to
how
many
partnerships
or
exclusivity
or
other
issues.
It
just
gives
the
board
of
regents
some
some
guidance
in
in
how
to
construct
these
as
they
come
up.
I
I
see
and
she
general
counsel
joe
reynolds
is
unmuted.
He
may
want
to
respond
to
that.
C
Would
I'm
sorry
to
interrupt,
but
would
you
all
make
sure
to
identify
yourself
when
you
speak
it's
hard
for
the
secretaries
that
are
listening?
Thank
you.
B
Certain
certainly
my
name
is
joe
reynolds.
It's
j-o-e-r-e-y
j-o-e-r-e-y-n-o-l-d-s,
I'm
the
chief
general
counsel
for
the
nevada
system
of
higher
education
and
to
to
shortly
answer
senator
donate's
question.
The
answer
is
yes.
The
intent
of
this
is
to
provide
a
broader
opportunity
for
other
agreements
in
in
future
agreements,
both
at
unr
and
unlv.
G
Great,
thank
you
so
much
yeah.
I
just
one
last
comment.
I
think
that
this
is
a
really
good
bill
that
can
pave
the
way
for
increasing
access.
I
know
that
in
the
research
that
I
read,
you
know
a
lot
of
the
difficulty
that
comes
with
creating
a
new
partnership,
is
you
know,
variances
with
institutional
missions
and
what
your
priorities
are,
and
I
think
that
you
guys
did
a
really
really
good
job
of
outlining
your
internal
champions
that
can
help
facilitate
communication,
so
this
is
very
exciting.
So
thank
you
for
for
that
clarification.
C
Thank
you
very
much
additional
questions
from
the
committee.
C
And
if
I
don't
see
you
just
a
mute
for
me,
I
have
a
question
while
we're
letting
everybody
process-
and
I
don't
know
whether
president
sandoval
or
dr
schrank
want
to
answer
this,
but
the
mention
was
made
that
this
goes
hand
in
hand
with
unlv
as
well,
but
the
bill
itself
seems
to
speak
to
unr.
Is
it
can
you
kind
of
clarify
that
for
me
and
tell
me
how
that
will
go
about
and
why?
C
Why
we're?
Is
it
because
you
don't
have
that
partnership
yet
or
give
me
some
information
on
that?
Please.
I
I
C
Vice
chair,
I
I
I
don't
want
to
interrupt
you,
but
thank
you
so
much.
E
Thank
you,
madam
vice
chair,
brian
sandoval,
president
of
the
university
of
nevada,
reno,
for
the
record,
and
you
know
I
just
I'll
say
very
briefly-
absolutely
the
intent
is
for
this
to
apply
to
both
the
unitr
school
of
medicine,
as
well
as
the
unlv
school
of
medicine.
So
in
the
future,
if
the
unlv
school
of
medicine
wishes
to
have
an
affiliation
with
a
for-profit
or
non-profit
hospital
in
southern
nevada,
this
would
pave
the
way
for
it
to
do
so.
C
Thank
you
very
much,
president
sandoval,
and,
and
with
that
being
said,
would
these
be
able
to
partner
with
our
governmental
agencies
I
realize
up
in
reno
you'd.
I
believe
you
don't
have
a
county
hospital,
but
down
in
las
vegas
we
do
so.
Would
we
be
able
to
do
that
with
this
bill
or
would
be
only
private
entities.
E
B
C
Thank
you
very
very
much
for
that
information.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
partnering
with
all
our
inchi
pieces,
because
this
is
this-
is
really
an
important
piece
for
nevada
with
our
medical
schools,
and
I
I
recognize
that
being
that
I've
watched
it
happen.
So,
thank
you
very
very
much
and
dr
dubrava
thank
you
for
the
board
of
regents
for
working
with
chair
dennis.
A
C
A
J
Thank
you,
madam
vice
chair,
jen
sturm
committee
policy,
analyst,
based
on
some
collaboration.
I
did
with
our
legal
counsel.
J
The
board
of
regents
of
the
university
of
nevada
is
the
language
used
in
the
constitution,
which
is
why
it's
the
language
used
in
sb
342..
There
is
only
one
university
in
nevada,
so
that
does
include
the
campuses
in
reno
in
las
vegas.
C
Perfect,
thank
you
so
much
for
that
clarification.
I
appreciate
that
additional
questions
from
anyone.
C
A
No
go
ahead.
Do
the
comments.
C
Thank
you
very
much
all
right.
We
will
join
our
virtual
attendees
and
when
you're
ready,
we
will
go
to
support.
Thank
you.
J
F
S-A-B-R-A-N-E-W-B-Y
representing
the
university
of
nevada,
las
vegas
in
support
of
this
bill,
while
this
isn't
necessarily
a
option
that
we
want
to
take
up.
At
this
point,
we
are
thankful
to
the
university
of
nevada
reno
for
bringing
it
forward
and
adding
another
tool
in
the
proverbial
toolbox,
so
we
are
enthusiastically
supporting
their
bill
today.
Thank
you
very
much.
J
J
J
B
R-O-S-S-A-R-M-S-T-R-O-N-G
I'm
the
administrator
of
the
division
of
child
and
family
services,
I'm
testifying
neutral.
I
just
wanted
to
note
the
appreciation
in
the
sponsors
indicating
that
medicaid
patients
will
be
able
to
continue
to
benefit
from
university
services.
Our
universities,
both
unr
and
unlv,
create
have
great
partnerships
with
us
to
not
only
help
for
our
workforce
but
to
serve
some
of
our
neediest
kids.
I
look
forward
to
continued
additional
engagement
to
help
alleviate
any
outstanding
fears
there
that
future
partnerships
may
restrict
access
to
those
children.
C
A
Yes,
thank
you,
as
you've
heard
we've
heard
from
various
individuals
at
unr,
but
as
you've
heard,
this
is
something
that
can
be
used
both
at
both
medical
schools
and
it
can
provide
for
better
medical
education
and
also
better
services,
even
just
for
medical
services
for
the
community,
and
so
while
it's
it's
a
very
small
bill,
I
think
you
can
tell
what
it
does.
A
I
would
hope
that
we
could
get
support
to
get
the
bill
passed.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
adam
meister,.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
since
we've
got
since
we
just
heard
it
if
there's
interest
in
passing
the
bill
now
I'd
be
willing
to
take
a
motion,
but
I
want
to
hear
some
you
know
see
if
there's
any
concerns
from
the.
A
A
Okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
by
senator
hardy
in
a
second,
so
this
would
be
a
do
pass
and
a
second
from
senator
donate.
Is
there
further
discussion.
G
Senator
donate
sorry
about
that,
I
think
it
while
I'm
fully
supportive
of
it.
I
would
just
like
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
clarification
from
legal
that
I
know
in
the
writing,
and
I
think
this
was
what
vice
versa.
Luke
was
trying
to
get
at
in
the
writing.
It
says
profit
or
non-profit,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
governmental
institutions
like
umc
would
be
included
in
this.
If
you
don't
be
wanting
to
pursue
it,
so
it's
just
a
technicality.
G
I
don't
know
if
we
can
just
take
a
quick
look
at
that
before
we
pass
it,
but
I
am
supportive
of
the
bill.
A
Okay,
so
let's
let
me
put
it
on
hold
since
you
have
a
question
again,
I
I
I
I
should
have
asked.
That's
probably
what
you
were
asking
before.
I
took
the
second
right.
So
let
me
back
up
before
we
take
the
motion.
Is
there
a
possibility,
let's
see
where's
miss
stern,
to
see
if
we
could
get
legal
counsel
first
get
him
on
for
a
second.
J
Got
our
league,
I
can
clarify
that
john
sturm
committee
policy
analyst.
I
can
clarify
that
and
get
back
to
the
committee.
A
Okay,
so
we're
trying
to
figure
out
if
we
can
clarify
it
now,
then
we
can
take
a
vote
on
it.
So
that's.
Why
don't
want
to
do
it
later
in
life.
C
C
A
Yeah
so-
and
we
can
do
that-
that's
why
I
was
asking
questions
earlier
if
we
can
get
it
answered
today.
If
that's
the
only
question
that
we
have,
but
I
want
to
know
if
there's
other
questions,
because
I
that's
the
only
one
that
I'm
hearing
and
if
we
can
get
our
legal
counsel
on
and
we
can
get
that
answer
today,
then
we
can
move
forward.
I'm
just
yes,
miss
stern.
J
Thank
you,
madam
vice
chair
sheridan.
I
did
get
clarification
in
case.
This
helps
for
the
committee.
The
bill
allows
affiliation
agreements
with
any
publicly
or
privately
owned
medical
facility
or
related
entity,
whether
for-profit
or
not-for-profit.
J
A
Okay,
I'm
sorry
somebody
else.
B
I
think
one
of
the
challenges
was,
you
know
we
had
the
big
huge
copy,
but
not
the
small
version,
and
that
may
be
part
of
the
problem-
is
finding
the
actual
verbiage
it's
on
nellis.
But
I
wasn't
able
to
get
the
small
version,
but
I
got
the
big
version
that
may
be
part
of
the
consternation.
A
Okay,
so
let's
do
this
we'll
just
we'll
put
it
on
for
our
next
meeting
and
so
that
everybody
gets
a
chance
to
see
that
because
I
know
we
just
got
it
yesterday:
it's
not
a
very
big
bill,
so
you
could
actually
read
it
once
you
get
it,
but
because
there
there
there's
some
questioning
as
to
that.
Let's,
let's
hold
off
on
on
voting
and
we'll
bring
it
back
at
our
next
meeting,
which
will
it
will
be
next
monday.
So
we
can
bring
it
back
as
a
work
session
at
that
point.
A
So
if
you
have
any
other
questions,
make
sure
you
bring
those
forward
so
that
we
can
get
those
addressed
all
right.
So
with
that
I
see,
we've
got
senator
kikifer
here
and
senator
sivers.
So
let's,
let's
move
on
to
the
next
bill,
which
would
be
senate
bill
272,
which
provides
provision
relating
to
education,
and
I
believe
we've
got
senator
sivers
cancer
and
senator
keith
keffer
that
are
going
to
make
the
presentation.
K
K
A
K
Okay,
so
again,
senator
heidi
sievers
answer
for
the
record
presenting
senate
bill
272
70
bill
senate
bill.
272
is
part
of
a
foreign
bill
plan
that
senator
keith
kaffer
and
I
are
calling
nevada,
the
nevada,
education
recovery
plan
again,
the
nevada
education
recovery
plan
and
what
senator
kiker
and
I
have
done
is
we
spent
some
time
with
superintendent
joan
ebert
over.
I
think
I
was
able
to
talk
to
her
probably
three
times
and
then
at
least
two
or
three
times
to
try
to
figure
out.
How
do
I
help
our
students?
K
You
know
with
the
disruption
caused
by
covet
19,
our
students
are
experiencing
learning
losses
and
feeling
disengaged
learning
from
home,
and
we
have
some
information
about
learning
losses,
but
not
as
much
as
I
think
we'll
gain
over
time.
As
I
mentioned,
there's
four
bills
and
today
we're
presenting
senate
bill
272,
which
establishes
the
nevada
educator
corps.
K
The
next
bill
would
be
senate
bill
273,
which
is
around
literacy
and
then
I'll.
Let
senator
keith
keffer
talk
to
a
little
bit
about
senate
bill,
his
senate
bills.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Senator
thank
you,
mr
chairman
members
of
the
committee,
so
as
a
part
of
targeting
both
early
childhood,
as
well
as
graduating,
high
schoolers,
two
final
bills
beside
bill
312,
which
would
be
which
would
be
an
expansion
of
our
existing
pre-k
programs.
It's
a
it's
an
appropriation
bill
frankly
to
to
support
an
expansion
of
pre-k
statewide,
then.
D
Finally,
at
the
other
end
of
the
sort
of
pre-k
to
12
spectrum,
the
senate
bill
316,
which
would
create
a
pilot
fifth
year
program
for
small
pods
of
up
to
20
students
in
high
schools
to
help
them
with
get
get
all
their
needs
met
for
graduation,
do
some
dual
enrollment
sort
of
launch
towards
their
college
or
career
pathway.
D
So
that
is
those
are
two
other
bills
that
you
may
see
at
some
point
in
the
not
too
distant
future,
but
they're
all
meant
to
complement
the
first
two
bills
that
senator
sievers
ganshard
mentioned
as
well
as
support
the
excellent
work
that
senator
dunder
loop
has
done
with
her
proposal
and
senate
bill.
170.
K
K
All
right,
so
what
do
we
know
right
now?
There's
not
a
lot
of
data
out
there,
but
washa
county
was
able
to
present
a
report
in
february
of
this
year
about
the
critical
absenteeism
rates,
and
you
can
see
you
know
in
high
school.
The
rates
are
as
high
as
50
51
versus
17.
Last
year,
middle
schools
are
extremely
high,
so
we
know
kids
are
not
attending
or
not
attending
full-time.
K
And
then
we,
if
we
look
at
the
data
before
covid
in
fourth
grade
our
reading
scores
on
the
napes
test,
which
is
also
known
as
the
nation's
report
card.
We
were
finally
reaching
peer
levels
as
far
as
reading,
so
our
fourth
graders
were
reading
at
virtually
the
same
level
as
their
contemporaries
across
the
us,
and
this
was
the
first
time
ever
ever
for
the
state
of
nevada,
and
before
that
you
can
see
we're
kind
of
tracking
tracking
national
rates.
Then
you
look
at
eighth
grade
kind
of
the
same
thing.
K
We
were
tracking
national
rates
in
reading
and
when
I
go
back
to
the
fourth
grade,
the
turn
was
in
17,
so
in
2017
2014,
it's
easy
2015
2017.
All
of
a
sudden,
we
started
to
converge
for
the
fourth
grade,
reading
scores
and
what
I
thought
was
really
interesting
is
when
you
go
down
to
fourth
grade
math
scores.
If
you
look
at
2017,
that
was
also
a
big
turning
point
for
us.
K
So,
all
of
a
sudden
we
were
starting
to
gain
while
before
we
were
sort
of
tracking
just
along
what
the
national
averages
were
in
eighth
grade,
the
same
thing
in
math
we
were
kind
of
tracking
along,
and
so
so
something
that
we
want
to
keep
in
mind
is
we
were
making
gains
now,
we've
gone
through
this.
K
So
what's
the
the
state
of
our
schools
in
clark
county,
this
number
was
used
the
other
day
and
during
one
of
the
finance
meetings,
so
it
was
presented
that
114
559
public
elementary
school
students
are
not
reading
at
grade
level,
so
this
was
actually
across
the
state,
not
just
clark
county.
So
across
the
state
we
know,
we've
got
over
114,
000
kids,
who
cannot
read
green
level
grade
level
and
then
in
clark
county.
K
We
also
know
that
there
were
12
000
students
who
did
not
have
a
full-time
teacher
on
their
first
day
of
school
in
fall
of
2020,
recognizing
that
they
weren't
actually
in
school.
They
were,
they
were
online,
but
there
still
were
not
enough
teachers-
and
we
know-
we've
had
a
teacher
shortage
for
years,
but
when
I
saw
this
number
it
sort
of
brought
it
home.
K
What
the
magnitude
of
that
issue
is
so
when
I,
when
I
consider
that
or
when
we
consider
that
it
seems
like
there's
a
supply
side
problem
right,
we
don't
have
enough
teachers,
we
have
learning
losses,
we
were
making
some
gains,
but
we're
no
longer
making
those
gains.
So
what
can
we
do
about
that?
How
do
we
get
all
hands
on
deck?
How
do
we
help
these
students
to
recover
and
and
improve
the
outcomes
across
the
board?
K
K
They
haven't
been
around
their
friends
and
so
there's
a
social
emotional
piece
that
all
three
of
the
different
types
of
members,
so
current
retired
and
college
students
could
take,
and
then
the
students
who
are
the
third
category
can
also
have
some
lessons
on
pedagogy.
How
do
they
put
together
plans?
How
do
they?
How
do
they
tutor?
How
can
they
best
approach
that
it's
proposed
in
the
bill
that
the
regional
professional
development
programs
rptps
could
put
that
that
programming
together
and
that
programming
would
not
be
40
hours?
Necessarily
it
wouldn't
be
80
hours?
K
It
would
be
something
where
it
could
be
one
to
three
days
to
really
get
these
folks
up
to
speed,
so
they
can
address
the
needs
as
soon
as
possible
for
the
students
we
want
to
help
these
students
recover
from
learning
losses
due
to
covet
pandemic
and
maintain
and
improve
the
date
scores
again
that
we
were
finally
making
some
progress
on.
So
you
know
broadly,
we
know
our
students
need
help.
K
We
believe,
there's
a
supply
side
issue
that
we
don't
have
enough
teachers
already
and
we're
going
to
have
these
learning
losses
and
also
the
social
emotional
issues
that
come
along
with
what
we've
faced
over
the
last
year.
So
how
best
can
we
approach?
Is
we
really
think
this
nevada
educator
core
is?
Something
is
one
piece
of
this
broader
plan
to
help
our
students
recover
from
the
pandemic
so
centered
together?
I
don't
know
if
you
wanna,
I
don't
know
if
you
wanna
add
anything
right
now.
If
you
do,
that
would
be
great.
K
D
K
So
section
one
of
the
bill
introduces
the
concept
of
the
nevada
educator
core
and
I'm
in
section
1-1
and
having
the
department
which
be
the
department
of
education
establishing
a
database,
and
these
the
tutoring
services
would
be.
Potentially,
this
bill
is
actually
written
it's
during
and
after
school,
but
I
really
think
it's
mostly
after
school
and
potentially
over
the
summer
too.
K
The
individuals
who
are
eligible
are
in
section
one
three,
which
would
again
would
be
retired
teachers,
teachers
who
are
currently
licensed,
and
potentially
students
at
the
university
state
college
or
community
college
who've
had
at
least
30
credits,
and
if
they
are
3c
the
students,
they
would
need
to
get
a
special
license
which,
right
now
the
superintendent
through
regulation
can
actually
provide
for
a
special
license.
So
this
would
be
a
limited
license
for
a
period
of
time
to
be
able
to
do
this.
K
Tutoring
then,
when
you
go
drop
down
to
section
one
number,
four,
it
talks
about
payment
and
hours,
and
those
are
a
couple
of
things
that
I
there's
a
there's.
A
proposed
amendment
for
part
of
that
from
the
from
chris
daley
that
he'll
be
presenting
so
part
of
it
is
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
pay
these
these
members
enough,
but
we
don't
want
to
conflict
with
what
the
collective
bargaining
agreements
are
right
now.
K
So
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
pay
them
enough,
but
we
we
don't
get
in
conflict
and
then,
in
talking
to
a
couple
of
the
school
districts,
it
appears
that
they
typically
use
20
up
to
26
hours
per
week.
So
instead
of
700
hours
of
tutoring
over
the
course,
it
would
be
up
to
26
hours
per
week
so
that
we
again
could
keep
them
as
hourly
workers,
and
we
wouldn't
they
would
not
be
paid
benefits
dropping
down
to
five
this
term.
K
This
starts
to
discuss
the
training
and
the
training
would
need
to
be
differentiated
and,
as
I
outlined,
there's
a
social
emotional
trauma
informed
piece
that
all
the
different
members
would
need
to
cover.
But
then,
when
you
have
students
and
potentially
the
retired
teachers
are
inactive
teachers
they
may
want
to
brush
up
and
and
on
certain
subject
matter
or
on
the
pedagogy,
then
going
on
to
number
seven
that
contemplates
again
section
one
number,
seven
the
license.
K
So
if
if
we
have
someone
who's
inactive
and
their
license
isn't
current,
but
they
are
eligible
to
be
licensed,
they
would
be
able
to
get
their
license
for
free
and
then,
if
they
are
students,
they
would
be
eligible
for
again
a
special
license
to
make
sure
they
went
through
the
boot
camp
through
the
programming
that
was
available
in
section
two.
It
talks
about
the
funds
and
the
funds
right
now
in
the
bill
are
listed
as
general
funds,
and
I
apologize
for
some
of
these
amendments
potentially.
K
But
the
bill
dropped
just
a
couple
days
ago,
and
then
we
had
a
hearing
and-
and
as
you
know,
if
you're
offered
a
hearing,
you
just
take
it
so
in
section
two,
it
would
not
be
general
fund.
That
should
be
s
or
funds,
and
that
would
be
part
of
the
essa
funds
that
have
are
being
retained
by
the
state
of
nevada.
So
those
are
not
the
esser
funds
that
have
already
been
distributed
to
the
school
districts
or
will
be
distributed
to
the
school
districts.
K
So
I
appreciate
being
able
to
present
this
today
and
the
work
that
I've
been
able
to
do
with
senator
keith
heifer,
as
well
as
the
input
that
I've
received
from
superintendent
ebert.
Although
we
haven't,
we
haven't,
had
a
chance
to
talk
to
her
specifically
about
this.
We've
talked
just
in
general
about
how
we
can
help
kids
recover
from
the
pandemic
and
continue
to
to
have
better
outcomes,
achievement
outcomes
like
we
saw
we
were
doing
before
the
pandemic
hit.
K
C
C
Lots
of
them
so
we
heard
your
bill
on
the
nevada
educator
core,
I'm
senator
gansert.
So
I'm
wondering
is
this:
just
a
combination
of
that
bill.
K
For
the
record
senator,
how
do
you
see
for
cancer?
I'm
not
sure,
so
this
is
one
bill.
This
is
one
piece.
This
is
sb272.
K
We've
been
thinking
more
broadly
about
how
we
can
help
our
students
recover
and
improve
achievement,
the
achievement
in
the
state
of
nevada,
and
so
that's
why
I
introduced
that
there's
actually
more
and
then,
of
course,
your
bill
talks
about
summer
education,
which
I
think
absolutely
we
need
to
be
able
to
do
that.
There's
it's
it's
like
it's
all
hands
on
deck.
How?
How
many
different
ways
can
we
approach
and
can
we
help
students
at
different
levels?
So
again,
this
one
is
around
tutoring
for
the
students
that
are
k-12.
K
We've
got
fifth
year,
students
that
we
know
we're
going
to
have
because
we
some
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
finish
this
year.
Some
were
not
sure
exactly
where
they
are,
so
some
may
not
be
passing
all
their
classes
and
some
are
not
being
located.
We
have
the
the
pre-k,
that's
senator
keith
heifer's
bill
again
and
then
I've
got
a
bill
on
literacy
because
we
were
finally
making
some
progress
on
literacy
and
I
think
we
should
re-look
at
how
we're
approaching
that.
K
C
So
I
have
a
couple
other
questions,
so
retired
teachers
who
hold
a
license.
I
would
be
that
person,
so
that's
a
school
district
piece.
They
need
to
identify
those
teachers
in
hard
to
fill
positions,
just
like
we've
done
in
the
past,
with
math
or
science
or
title
one
school,
so
that
wouldn't
I
don't
think
that
that
is
a
state
regulation.
I
believe
that
that's
a
school
board
regulation
and
your
30
hours
of
coursework
those
teachers
would
be.
C
I
think
I
believe
it
now
that
that
at
least
in
clark
county
they
have
to
have
60
hours
to
substitute,
so
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
where
the
difference
is
there.
So
if
you
could
address
that,
I
would.
K
Appreciate
it,
thank
you
for
the
record
senator
heidi
seifer's
cancer.
So
the
core
is
meant
to
support
classroom
teachers
and
when
you
look
at
the
students,
those
are
not
teachers
they're
not
considered
teachers,
they
would
be
considered
part
of
the
core
and
they
would
be
tutors,
and
so
it's
really
trying
to
have
these
students
get
some
training
to
be
able
to
help
these
students
because
of
the
supply
side
issue.
We
do
not
have
enough
teachers
in
the
classroom,
full-time
teachers.
We
can't
hire
enough.
K
We
do
have
some
retired
teachers
who
have
tremendous
qualifications
to
be
able
to
do
this.
This
is
really
about
supporting
the
classroom
teachers
because
I
think
it's
just
going
to
be
really
a
really
heavy
lift
with
the
learning
losses
that
they've
experienced
and
again
that
social,
emotional
piece
too.
How
do
you
help
these
students
get
back
into
the
classroom
and
start
to
to
catch
up?
So
it's
not
intended
to
be
an
alternate
route
to
licensure.
It's
not
they're,
not
intended
to
be
long-term.
Subs
they're,
intended
to
be
part
of
this
core
to
help
with
tutoring.
C
K
Thank
you
again
for
the
record
senator
how
you
see.
First,
cancer.
I've
actually
had
conversations
with
both
school
districts
and
because
this
bill
just
came
out,
it's
been
in
the
recent
past,
but
we've
discussed
what
this
could
look
like
how
it
would
fit
with
what
they
have
been
doing,
what
they're
planning
to
do
and
how
we
could
support
the
teaching
in
the
classroom
and-
and
I
believe
that
they'll
testify
once
we're
open
for
comment.
C
And
when
you
talk
about
the
database
of
of
teachers,
I
guess
I'm
wondering
is
that
something
that
already
exists
in
the
nevada
department
event
is
that
something
they
would
have
to
create?
Would
they
need
software?
To
do
that?
I
know
they
keep
everybody
who
has
a
license
in
a
database,
but
how
would
that
work
exactly.
K
Thank
you
for
the
record
senator.
How
do
you
see
first
cancer?
So
I
would
believe
I
believe
they
have
a
database
already
of
currently
licensed
teachers
and
probably
inactive
teachers,
and
so
concerning
the
students.
Those
would
be
potentially
an
ad
and
that
may
be
messaging
to
the
college
of
education,
probably
at
unlv,
nevada,
reno,
nevada,
state
college
and
maybe
the
community
colleges
to
try
to
see
who's
interested
in
something
like
this
and
again.
This
is
about
tutoring,
so
it's
not
about
replacing
teachers,
it's
not
about
alternative
route
to
licensure,
it's
not
or
long-term
subs.
D
As
a
parent
of
currently
two
students
in
high
school,
I
could
say
that
finding
qualified
tutors
is
not
always
the
easiest
thing
to
do
and
having
access
to
tutors
who
have
been
had.
Some
training
are
put
forward
by
the
school
as
as
qualified
in
the
subject
matter.
That
you're,
looking
for
as
well
as
having
had
some
experience
in
in
providing
tutoring
services
would
be
an
incredible
help
to.
K
Thank
you
senator
heidi
seifer's
cancer
for
the
record,
and
I
appreciate
your
comment-
senator
keith
keffer,
because
I
believe
we
have
students
who
are
disproportionately
affected
and
low-income
students
of
color
because
they
haven't
been
able
to
get
the
resources
they
some
of
them
didn't
have
the
technology
and
then
hopefully
they
were
able
to
get
the
technology
to
the
different
school
districts,
but
they
don't
have
access
like
more
fluid
affluent
students
who,
if
their
parents
can
help
or
or
maybe
there's
tutors
that
they
can
hire,
and
so
I
think
there
really
is
a
greater
impact
for
low
income
and
children
of
color,
and
this
this
really
could
help
them,
and
that
would
be
something
I
didn't
message
or
mention
is
that
the
schools
would
be
identified.
K
The
students
are
prioritizing
students
who
need
the
most
help
and
those
students,
then,
would
be
assigned
tutors
to
be
able
to
help
the
individuals,
but
but
there
would
be
a
process.
Potentially
they
could
use
the
map
testing
right.
They
could
use
the
math
assessment
to
see
who
needs
the
help.
It's
my
understanding.
Those
are
given
four
times
a
year,
so
what
students
need
most
the
most
help?
K
Schools
can
identify
them
and
then
they
can
be
assigned
tutors
and
in
the
tutoring
sessions
it
could
be
online.
It
could
be
in
person,
it
could
be
one
student,
it
could
potentially
be
three
students
from
the
same
classroom
it
would.
The
schools
themselves
could
help
to
decide
how
that
would
actually
work
to
make
sure
that
we
could
help
as
many
children
as
possible.
C
Correct
I
understand,
I
know
that
cis
and
boys
and
girls
club
and
several
other
after-school
programs
do
these
types
of
things.
So
would
the
nevada
department
of
education
sub
grant
this
to
the
districts
or
are
they
hiring
these?
Are
you
hiring
these
tutors?
C
K
Senator
heidi
sievers
counsel,
for
the
record,
so
the
way
that
it's
contemplated
right
now
is
the
database
is
established
by
the
department
of
education,
but
and
it
would
be
s
r
funds
that
are
held
back
by
the
department
of
education.
So
the
department
of
education
would
probably
work
together
with
the
school
districts,
identifying
the
tutors
and
then
I'm
not
quite
sure
how
the
paychecks
would
roll
out.
If
that's
the
question
is,
how
do
you
actually
pay
them?
K
I'm
not
sure
if
I
think
that
would
be
something
that
we
could
work
on
between
the
school
districts
and
the
department
of
education
it
may
it
may
be
the
school
districts,
but
you
know
what's
kind
of
different
now
that
we
haven't
seen
before.
Is
that
we're
in
this
online
mode?
So
there
may
be
tutors
who
live
in
a
certain
region
in
nevada
that
can
help
students
based
on
their
their
knowledge
base
and
the
type
of
work
that
they've
done.
That
may
be
somewhere
else
in
the
state.
K
C
Sure
yeah-
because
I
I
just
worry
about
specifically-
I
know
that
not
only
is
the
nde
short
on
staff
and
and
are
working
overtime,
but
the
school
districts,
hr
departments-
I
just
don't
know
how
they
would
manage-
how
everybody
would
manage
to
the
tutoring
jobs
and-
and
I
guess
you'd
have
to
identify-
I
mean
I'm
trying
to
think
through
it.
I
guess
you'd
have
to
identify
that
that
the
esser
funds
were
to
pay
for
this
because
they
may
have
already
earmarked
us
or
funds
for
other
things.
C
Or
what
have
you
so
I
was
just
trying
to
think
through
that
part.
So
yeah.
K
For
the
for
the
record,
senator
heidi
severs
cancer.
No,
I
appreciate
that,
because
those
are
the
details
we
need
to
work
out
and
this
is
really
about
kids.
How
do
we
help
our
students-
and
I
know
you've
been
thinking
about
that?
That's
why
you
brought
forth
your
bill.
How
do
we
help
our
students
with
the
the
learning
losses
that
they're
experiencing,
and
how
do
we
get
back
on
that
trajectory
where
our
students
are
are
improving,
how
the
they're
starting
to
meet
peer
or
maybe
exceed
their
peers
across
the
state?
K
And
so
it's
really
about
getting
them
back
to
where
they
were
and
raising
the
bar
and
what
I
do
know
about
the
esser
funds,
the
47.7
million
dollars
that's
being
held
back,
2.4
million
of
that
is
allowed
for
administration.
So
there
is
a
portion
of
those
dollars
that
is
set
aside
for
administration
that
I
I'm
sure
will
help
with
any
of
the
programs
that
they
end
up
moving
forward
using
those
funds.
C
K
For
the
record
senator
heidi
stevens
cancer-
I
completely
agree
with
you.
They
are
working
overtime
to
try
to
help
our
students
and
try
to
think
of
ways
to
help
our
students
and
again
senator
keith,
heifer,
and
I
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
with
superintendent,
joan
ebert
brainstorming.
K
What
are
the
types
of
programs
that
could
help
our
kids
and,
and
we
do
know,
we
have
substantial
funds
from
the
federal
government
that
are
coming
down
and
just
out
of
the
esser
funds.
I
think
there
were
430
million
dollars
that
were
processed
through
an
ifc
the
other
day
and
then
the
47.7
million
that
went
straight
to
the
department
of
event.
So
there
is
funding
available,
it's
how
we
use
it.
K
This
is
one
of
the
ideas
of
several
and
we'll
probably
have
more
right
to
try
to
help
our
students,
and
I'm
just
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
to
consider
this
and
to
think
about
how
we
can
accomplish
that.
F
Thank
you,
chair,
dennis
senator
lang
for
the
record
send
receivers
gasket.
I
was
just
wondering
so.
For
instance,
I
have
a
lifetime
teaching
certificate.
I
could
teach
k-12
any
subject
and
it's
reciprocal
with
a
lot
of
different
states,
but
would
I
be
eligible
and
would
other
retired
teachers,
because
a
lot
come
to
nevada,
be
eligible
under
3a
to
be
a
part
of
this
program.
K
Thank
you
for
the
record.
Senator
heidi
severs
cancer,
like
absolutely
you're,
a
highly
credentialed
teacher-
and
I
know
you're,
retired
or
inactive
right
now,
but
you're
the
type
of
person
who
can
help
a
lot
of
students
and
we
need
more
people
like
you
and
because
this
is
a
limited
like
er,
so
they
would
fall
back.
Probably
if
they
were
out
of
state.
K
They
would
most
likely,
I
think,
go
to
the
special
license
category,
so
they
wouldn't
be
licensed
as
a
regular
teacher
in
the
state
of
nevada,
but
it
could
be
the
limited
special
license
specifically
for
tutoring,
and
we
know
we
have
a
shortage
just
in
regular
teachers
right.
So
how
are
we
going
to
help
support
those
classroom
teachers?
So,
yes,
great.
L
Chair
dennis,
thank
you
so
much
my
question.
Just
actually
it's
a
comment
and
then
a
question.
21St
century
monies
have
always,
you
know
been
available.
You
apply
for
them
in
a
grant
form
for
before
and
after
school
tutoring.
It
helped
me
with
when
I
was
principal
of
sewell
and
then
moving
to
pine
crest.
We
also
applied
for
those
dollars
for
before
and
after
school
tutoring,
and
I
saw
the
difference
that
it
made
for
students.
L
Then
my
question
is:
we've
always
talked
about
how
we
want
to
encourage
people
into
the
profession
and
especially
that
sub
category,
of
course,
bringing
retired
teachers
back
and
and
having
them
be
back
in
support
of
that
classroom,
teacher
and
of
student
learning,
but
also
the
people
that
are
at
the
university
say
working
on
their
teacher
credential,
utilizing
them
to
get
them
into
the
profession.
So
how
do
you
see
this
as
helping
the
teacher
pipeline,
which
is
a
crucial
problem
here
in
nevada.
K
Thank
you
for
the
record,
senator
heidi
sievers
cancer.
I
absolutely
think
this
will
expose
some
folks
who
students
who
maybe
didn't
think
about
education
to
to
get
into
education.
I
also
think
the
nevada
teach
program
that
we
have
at
several
institutions
in
nevada.
I
think
it's
at
nevada,
reno
and
at
nevada.
State
college
is
helpful
too
and
that's
when
you
get
a
dual
credential
or
you
get
credentialed
for
teaching,
but
you
also
graduate
in
a
a
stem
degree
with
a
stem
degree.
K
So
so
I
think
this
will
expose
more
individuals
to
teaching
and
have
that
experience
with
the
students
and
see
how
much
they
can
help,
and
I
just
think
it's
all
positive.
I
guess
to
me
it's
all
outside
having
more
people
involved
with
students
who
who
have
a
background
and
some
education
to
be
able
to
do
that.
D
Been
key
cover
for
the
record,
mr
chairman,
and
just
to
follow
up
on
that.
If
you
look
at
you
know,
suburb
paragraph
three
or
paragraph
c
and
subsection
three
section
one,
you
know
if
you
have
30
hours
of
credit
that
can
be
in
any
subject
that
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
be
in
in
education.
You
don't
have
to
be
an
education
major
to
qualify
for
this
and
I
think,
exposing
more
college
students
to
the
that
role
of
of
a
teacher
student
of
helping
a
a
younger
person
with
their
education.
D
L
Thank
you,
chair
dennis,
and
just
one
more
comment
I
like
how
this
is
really
a
supplement
and
it
doesn't
supplant
it.
It
really
is
to
add
additional
help
for
students
and
like
with
marilyn
donderolu
vice
chair
dunder
loops
bill.
I
I
think
that
this
would
add
a
great
caveat
to
get
those
needed
educators
into
this.
So
thank
you.
G
Thank
you,
chair
dennis,
and
to
senator
c
bruce
cancer
and
senator
kiker
for
presenting.
I
like
the
idea
and
the
conversation
on
tutoring.
Would
you
consider
increasing
the
credit
amount
in
what
is
this
section?
One
subsection
3c,
I'm
looking
at
the
part
where
it
says
a
student
at
a
university
state
college
or
community
college
in
the
state
who
has
completed
at
least
30
credits,
hours
of
coursework
and
a
piece
of
special
license
to
teach.
Pursuant
to
this
chapter?
G
Would
you
consider
removing
the
special
license
requirement
in
exchange
for
increasing
the
credit
amount,
and
my
reasoning
for
this
is
that
you
know
when
I
think
back
to
my
undergrad,
a
lot
of
my
tutors
and
calc,
and
you
know
bio,
like
a
lot
of
them
were
just
grad
students
that
were
just
doing
this
as
a
side
job,
and
I
think
it
could
open
up
a
really.
G
I
don't
want
that
special
license
requirement
to
be
a
bearer
to
students
who
probably
don't
have
access
to
get
a
good
job
and
just
want
to
do
this
on
the
side
to
support
their
finances.
You
know
maybe
there's
a
mediation
where,
like
we
require
them
to
be
at
least
upperclassmen
in
college,
or
you
know.
I
think
that
would
be
a
good
conversation
that
we
can
have
and
allowing
more
students.
But
I
just
I
just
I
think
that
there's
a
we
can
create
a
barrier
if
we
require
a
special
license.
K
Thank
you
for
the
record,
senator
how
you
see
first
cancer.
I
don't
think
we
want
to
create
barriers,
but
I
do
think
we're
in
a
very
unusual
time,
with
sort
of
the
social,
emotional
and
the
trauma
that
students
have
had
that's.
My
understanding
is
that
it's
going
to
be
hard
for
them
to
get
back
into
the
classroom,
and
so
I
don't
think
we
want
to
create
an
obstacle,
but
I
do
think
we
need
some
basic
training,
particularly
for
those
students,
and
I
I'm
not
so
worried
about
the
credit
hours.
But
I
am.
K
I
do
think
that
they
have
to
have
some
training
and
that
the
threshold
we
don't
want
to
set
the
threshold
too
high.
As
I
mentioned
at
the
beginning,
it
could
be
a
day
to
three
days,
maybe
it's
five
days,
but
it
wouldn't
be
a
lot
of
training,
but
it'd
be
enough
to
prepare
them
to
make
sure
that
they
can
help
these
students
and
they
understand
how
to
convey
things.
And
I
can
tell
you
when
I
was
an
undergraduate.
I
I
one
of
my
jobs
was
tutoring.
K
K
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
have
some
training
threshold
is
not
going
to
be
extremely
high
because
we
don't
want
to
create
an
obstacle.
We
want
to
get
as
many
individuals
as
possible,
but
knowing
how
to
present
the
material
and
having
some
knowledge
about
how
to
respond
given
what
the
students
are
facing
and
what
we
know
is
happening
with
depression
and
suicide
rates
and
so
forth.
So
thank.
K
A
Okay,
I
don't
see
any
other
questions,
so
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
the
the
hearing,
the
the
here
testimony
and
support
opposition
and
neutral
on
the
bill
so
and
just
a
reminder,
two
minutes
for
each
person
and
don't
forget
to
state
and
spell
your
name
for
the
record.
So
first
we
will
hear
testimony
in
support.
J
A
Okay:
let's
go
to
anyone
wishing
to
testify
who's
neutral
on
the
bill.
J
E
J
E
So
we've
submitted
language
in
lieu
of
the
20
per
hour
rate
to
make
the
rate
equivalent
to
the
average
pay
for
similar
extra
duty
delineated
in
those
employment
agreement,
agreements
between
districts
and
associations
representing
licensed
educators.
We'd
also
add
that
we
believe
that
active
licensed
educators
should
be
given
priority
for
available
positions
with
this
work.
A
All
right,
let's
go
back
senator
ganser,
do
you
have
any
closing
comments
or
senator
either
either
one
of
you
or
both
of
you?
Thank
you.
K
D
Just
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
for
taking
the
time
to
hear
the
bill
today
and
to
the
committee
members
for
your
good
questions.
As
always,
I
know
you're
all
laser
focused
on
helping
students
overcome
the
challenges
that
they've
faced
over
the
past
year
and
a
half
here,
and
we
appreciate
it.
A
A
A
B
A
Okay,
senator
dunder
loop,
any
any
discussion.
A
Okay,
let
me
do
I
think
I'm
gonna
do
all
three
of
these
in
in
and
then
we'll
just
take
one
vote,
so
we
don't
have
to
go
through
everybody
on
each
one
of
these,
so
the
next
one
is
and
actually
so,
we'll
come
back.
A
Actually
we'll
do
we'll
do
one
motion
with
all
three
when
we
do
that
when
we
get
done
the
next
one
is
bdr
34-528
an
act
related
to
education,
requiring
the
department
of
education
to
review
examination
and
assessments
for
certain
information
requiring
the
department
to
adopt
regulations
that
prescribe
certain
limitations
on
examinations
and
assessments
authorizing
the
board
of
trustees
of
a
school
district
or
governing
body
of
a
charter
school
to
request
a
waiver
from
the
state
board
of
education
for
certain
limitations
authorizing
the
state
board
to
grant
a
waiver
in
certain
circumstances
providing
other
matters
properly
relating
there
too.
A
A
Third,
one
is
bdr
34-842
inaccurate
in
education,
providing
for
the
inclusion
of
an
indicator
to
recognize
public
schools
that
reduce
the
frequency
of
suspension,
expulsions
and
removal
of
pupils
from
school
in
the
statewide
system
of
accountability,
requiring
the
department
of
education
to
develop
a
statewide
framework
for
restorative
justice,
providing
for
the
inclusion
of
unaccompanied
pupils
and
certain
procedures
related
to
the
discipline
of
pupils
providing
for
the
consideration
of
homelessness
in
the
discipline
of
people.
A
A
All
right,
so
we
have
a
motion
from
senator
hardy
to
to
introduce
all
three
second
from
vice
chair
dondero
loop,
any
further
discussion,
all
right.
So
if
the
secretary
will
take
take
the
vote.
C
F
L
A
A
Let's
open
up
the
public
comment.
Bps
could
open
up
the
public
comment
and
allow
the
first
person
to
to
speak.
J
J
E
L-I-N-D-S-A-Y-A-N-D-E-R-S-O-N
for
the
washoe
county
school
district,
with
a
good
news
minute
that
I
think,
is
relevant
to
your
both
of
your
hearings
today.
So
I'm
excited
to
share
this
with
you.
The
de
monte
ranch
high
school
leadership,
students
put
together
550

being
an
outstanding

right,
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
close
public
comment,
no
other
business
to
come
before
us.

next
meeting
will
be
on
monday,
and
that
concludes
our
meeting
for
today.
Thank
