A
Here,

bills

you
may
submit
those
written
comments
as
outlined
on
the
agenda
by
emailing
or
faxing
them
to
our
committee
manager,
and,
let's
see
we
will
now
open
the
on
our
agenda
we
are
going
to
here
today.
A
We
don't
have
any
bdr
introductions.
However,
we
do
have
one
bill:
sb
76,
which,
as
you
as
you've,
read
through
it
when
it
says
revisions
provisions
relating
to
education.
It
does
do
that
and
it's
got
a
lot
of
different
pieces
and
my
thought
was
that
we
would
hear
the
bill
today.
I
know
that
they
are
coming
with
some
amendments.
A
I
know
that
there's
some
other
concerns
and
others,
so
I
really
want
to
get
all
those
out
on
the
table
today
see
what
the
issues
are,
and
so
with
that
we
are
going
to
hear
from.
I
think
we're
going
to
start
with
the
superintendent
of
public
instruction
joan
eber.
F
F
You
know
for
the
first
draft,
and-
and
here
we
are
presenting
to
you
today
and
we
do
know
that
there
will
be
other
moving
parts
as
well,
so
this
bill
was
pre-filed
by
governor
sislak
on
behalf
of
the
department
of
education,
but
this
bill
was
drafted
on
behalf
of
our
district
and
school
partners,
our
valued
educators
and
staff,
as
well
as
our
stakeholders
at
the
foundation
of
this
bill
is
our
commitment
to
future
proofing
our
work.
F
We've
organized
our
presentation
today
in
three
buckets.
The
first
one
is
amendments
based
on
emerging
needs
that
the
department
has
identified
since
our
initial
pdr
was
submitted.
Amendments
based
on
stakeholder
consultation,
we're
always
open
to
ideas
for
improvement
and,
finally,
an
overview
of
the
original
proposal
that
has
been
maintained.
F
F
In
addition,
based
on
the
work
of
the
blue
ribbon
commission
for
globally
prepared
nevada,
we're
recommending
a
shift
in
our
work
around
the
competency-based
education,
our
stakeholder
engagement
in
advance
of
this
hearing
is
also
reflected
in
our
amendments.
The
statewide
council
for
financial
literacy
language
is
in
the
amendment
as
a
as
restored
language,
so
that
the
council
can
continue
to
fill
its
intent
with
a
sunset
proposal
date
of
december
2023.,
a
response
to
our
education
community
to
repeal
end.
Of
course,
exams
is
also
in
this
statute.
F
That
you
know
was
a
carryover
from
moving
from
college
and
career,
ready
assessments,
or
excuse
me
from
the
eocs
and,
of
course,
exams
to
the
college
and
career
ready
assessments,
and
so
there's
a
little
bit
of
duplicity
overlap
in
those
two
areas,
and
so
we
have
language
there.
We
also
added
language
for
dual
enrollment
credits
or
universities
outside
of
the
state
of
nevada.
F
We
also
shifted
the
approach
regarding
the
nevada
commission
on
mentoring,
so
their
work
remains
in
statute.
In
reviewing
this
language,
we
realize
it's
the
only
place
in
statute
that
we
have
the
work
of
the
commission
on
mentoring,
so
it
repeals
the
department
providing
the
administrative
support
which
allows
the
commission
to
operate.
F
Section
seven
replaces
the
annual
report
with
the
stip.
I
wanted
to
ensure
you
that
we
conducted
a
comparison
of
the
stip
and
the
annual
report
requirements,
as
well
as
the
state
accountability
report,
which
is
nrs
385,
a
.40
which
is
available
on
our
nevadareportcard.com
site
in
the
appendices.
You
can
see
that
I
also
gave
you
the
ability
to
look
at
how
to
access
the
report
card.
If
you
wanted
to
delve
into
that
information
as
well.
F
Section
6
of
sb
76
updates
the
safe
voice
reports
due
to
the
office
for
safe
and
respectful
learning
environment,
on
or
before
january,
1st
and
july
1st
of
each
year,
rather
than
quarterly,
as
informed
by
our
stakeholder
group.
As
conversations
continue
to
progress,
we
would
welcome
additional
recommendations
that
would
support
transparency
and
accountability
while
helping
make
our
education
system
become
more
agile.
F
We
need
to
have
productive
meetings
and
to
meet
only
when
the
work
requires
it,
not
because
there's
a
minimum
or
set
number
that
is
required
to
meet.
If
a
topic
has
risen
to
the
legislature's
attention,
it
is
fair
to
say
that
there
is
a
sense
of
urgency
and
the
need
to
act
on
behalf
of
the
students
and
educators.
F
F
Here
you
can
see
the
charge
of
the
commission,
which
grew
out
of
needs
identified
during
the
covet
19
response
and
recovery.
The
commission
built
upon
the
work
of
the
competency-based
education
network
noted
in
section
19
of
sb
76,
which
is
one
of
our
councils
that
has
struggled
to
advance
its
agenda
because
they
could
not
meet
quorum.
F
I
want
to
specifically
thank
our
chair,
senator
dennis
and
assemblywoman
monroe
moreno,
as
well
as
tolls
who
participated
in
the
blue
ribbon
commission,
as
well
as
the
legislative
staff
who
attended
to
gain
background.
Now
knowledge
of
policy
recommendations
forthcom
coming
in
this
session,
senator
dennis
I'd
like
to
invite
you
to
share
any
learnings
there
with
that
commission,
if
you
so
choose
and
then
we'll
move
forward.
A
Thank
you.
I
yeah,
I
think
it
was
a.
It
was
a.
It
was
a
an
effective
way
to
really
discuss
some
important
issues
in
a
quick
manner.
We
were
able
to
get.
You
know
folks
there
to
participate,
and
I
appreciate
you
know,
and
and
actually
I
have
some
of
the
work
from
that
committee-
I'm
bringing
forward
in
a
bill
on
competency-based
education,
so
it
was
a
good
way
to
bring
the
right
people
together
from
the
education
community
and
community
as
a
whole.
A
F
Thank
you,
chair
dennis.
Currently,
the
department
supports
more
than
two
dozen
statutory
boards
councils
and
commissions
with
more
members
among
them
than
we
have
staff
in
the
department
of
education.
Despite
our
best
efforts,
the
department
continues
to
encounter
significant
delays
and
obstacles
to
supporting
these
councils
and
the
work
required.
F
We
have
a
challenge
of
identifying
individuals
who
are
eligible
sometimes
to
meet
the
narrow
specifications
in
statute,
as
well
as
qualified
interested
and
available
for
the
meetings.
In
addition,
we
face
delays
in
working
with
appointing
authorities
to
confirm
appointments
if
and
when
qualified
individuals
have
applied
for
these
positions.
F
We're
also
concerned
that
the
need
for
formal
appointments
limit
the
pool
of
individuals
we
are
likely
to
attract
and
confirm
to
these
councils
or
supporting
25
councils
is
a
large
time
and
resource
burden.
But
our
most
critical
concern
is
that
the
need
to
focus
on
the
intended
outcome
of
supporting
student
achievement
and
educator
effectiveness.
F
Our
current
system
bases
the
success
of
a
council
on
how
well
they
meet
quorum,
how
many
legislative
appointments
they
have
secured
and
how
well
they
are
staffed.
It
takes
hundreds
of
hours
of
staff
time
to
organize,
facilitate
these
meetings,
creating
minutes,
managing
appointments,
processing,
travel
expenses
per
diem
and
actually
prepare
content
to
have
these
productive
meetings.
F
None
of
these
tasks
guarantee
progress
on
student
outcomes.
As
a
result
of
these
meetings,
we
spend
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
each
year
to
staff
and
report
on
counts
on
the
councils,
but
meeting
a
reporting
requirement
doesn't
increase
the
proficiency
of
our
students
and
it
simply
increases
the
number
of
advisory
groups
that
we
have
to
staff.
F
F
We
also
have
a
number
of
councils
that
regularly
have
to
council
meetings
and
have
not
been
able
to
take
action
for
months
at
a
time
or
the
inability
to
find
convenient
meeting
times
to
have
a
quorum.
So
today
I
have
an
example
for
you.
We
have
engaged
with
stakeholders
regarding
sb,
76
and
two
of
the
council
meetings.
Our
staff
were
scheduled
to
join
in,
did
not
make
quorum
and
therefore
they
did
not
have
the
opportunity
to
review
this
bill
of
the
past.
F
F
This
slide
provides
an
overview
of
the
extensive
work
that
our
stakeholders
engage
in
and
that
contribute
to
the
development
of
all
of
our
standards.
You
can
see
in
the
process
that,
on
the
right
on
the
right
that
we
have
folded,
two
items
which
involve
the
council
approval
to
review
standards
and
approval
of
recommended
revisions.
F
F
In
addition,
you
can
see
that
the
state
board
of
education
approves
standards
after
they
have
been
through
the
public
hearing
comments
and
edits
as
necessary
based
on
feedback.
So
we
do
have
an
oversight
group
with
the
state
board
of
education,
as
well
as
the
legislature,
always
looking
at
the
standards
and
our
expectations
for
our
children.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Let's
start,
I
I'm
going
to
start
with
vice
chair
donderly.
D
Thank
you
very
much
chair
and
thank
you
so
much
superintendent
ebert.
I
know
this
is
a
big
undertaking
and
some
of
it
is
hard
because
we've
had
those
commissions
and
boards
in
place.
I
did
want
to
ask
a
couple
of
questions
just
to
start
with
and
then
I'll
circle
back
around.
If
nobody
else
has
same
questions,
so
a
lot
of
work
has
been
done
over
the
financial
literacy
in
the
last
few
years,
and
I
know
that
we
really
haven't
even
had
the
financial
literacy
in
place
that
long.
D
F
Just
thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
A
Superintendent,
when
you,
when
we
talk
about
since
we're,
going
to
have
a
lot
of
different
issues
that
we're
talking
about,
if
you
could
refer
the
the
section
that
that
you're,
that
we're
talking
about
so
that
if
members
want
to
look
that
up
again.
F
It
so
financial
literacy
is
in
section
nine
and
actually
that
a
senator
loop,
I'm
glad
you
have
me
under
a
loop-
have
me
going
back
over
that
specific
section.
So,
initially,
looking
across
the
board
and
creating
efficiency
for
our
state,
we
looked
at
all
of
the
councils.
F
So
the
finance
council,
financial
literacy
council
was
one
that
we're
actually
putting
back
in
because
to
your
point
they
were
a
council
that
was
established
during
the
19
session
and
it's
a
perfect
example
the
appointments
and
the
count,
because
how
long
it
took
for
the
appointments
to
be
made
and
the
first
meeting
it
was
almost
seven
months
before
the
first
meeting
was
held
once
the
first
meeting
was
held
and
the
work
has
transpired
they've
been
moving
along
and
we
still
need
their
expertise
as
we
embark
on
this
work.
So
the
in
our
amendment.
D
F
F
They
will
just
not
be
in
the
structure
that
it
currently
is,
which
causes
the
backlog,
if
you
will
in
getting
the
work
done.
So
if
the
council
and
their
work
is
where
we
need
to
go
as
a
state,
they
absolutely
would
remain,
and
if
you
chose
as
a
legislature
to
keep
them
in
statute,
then
it
could
be
done
that
way
or
we
could
continue
the
work
through
the
department
of
education
with
our
own
staff,
as
well
as
the
expertise
of
the
business
community.
D
A
G
Thank
you
so
much
chair,
dennis
superintendent,
ebert
being
an
educator
myself.
I
sure
do
appreciate
you
know
the
whole
regional
professional
development
plan
and
you
synthesizing
that
or
taking
that
kind
of
under
your
wing
to
make
sure
that
the
needs
of
the
district
and
charter
schools
are
addressed
based
on
what
they
need
and
what
potentially
that
they
want
in
professional
development.
I
also
love
that
you're
synthesizing
this
because
it
does
seem
like
it's
quite
the
comprehensive
list.
G
Secondly,
if
I
may
share
how
how
do
you
guarantee,
then,
I
think
the
biggest
concern
is:
how
do
you
guarantee
that
you're
getting
input
from
all
these
stakeholder
groups
and
so
that
they
do
truly
have
a
voice,
but
yet
I
get
it
this
would
be.
I
mean
just
an
incredible
beast
to
deal
with,
and
so
I
appreciate
that.
F
Thank
you,
senator
bach,
it's
good
to
see
you
superintendent
ebert,
for
the
record
on
slide
13.
You
do
see
these
25
groups
that
we
currently
support.
A
Hold
on
one
second,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
they're
able
to
put
that
up
on
the
screen.
F
Not
able
to
see
the
powerpoint
from
department
of
ed.
A
C
A
F
So,
thank
you
again,
superintendent
ebert
for
the
record.
So
these
are
the
councils
task
force
that
we
support
if
you'll
notice,
not
all
of
these
are
are
being
asked
to
be
sunsetted
at
this
point
in
time,
for
example,
we
still
have
the
teep
number
13,
the
teachers
and
leaders
council.
F
F
F
Is
you
know
one
that
is,
is
beautiful
to
see
all
the
colors
all
the
people
that
we
support
across
the
languages?
F
It
is
incumbent
upon
us
as
a
state
and
all
of
you
to
make
sure
that
that
that
voice,
that
diversity
is
represented
and
so
making
sure
that
that
structure
starts
in
responsibility
with
the
department
of
education
with
you,
as
a
legislative
body
with
the
governor
that
when
we
pull
and
iterate
the
work
that
we
do,
I
think
one
of
the
things
and-
and
I
know
all
of
you
know
that
I
spent
four
years
in
new
york
and
it
was
a
great
structure.
F
I
think
some
of
it
you'll
see
that
I
have
here
is
making
sure
that
any
work
that
is
done
from
the
department
and
also
because
that's
what
I
am,
what
you
have
charged
me
the
governor
has
charged
me
with-
is
that
if
we
develop
things
and
expectations
that
the
voice
of
every
constituent
that
wants
to
be
involved,
there's
some
folks
that
don't
want
to
be
involved.
But
they
have
the
opportunity
to
review
and
that's
part
of
one
of
our
values
in
our
presentation
last
week.
F
Transparency
that
the
information
is
out
there
in
advance
just
like
this
bill
was
posted
over
two
months
ago,
and
we
had
the
opportunity
to
have
conversation
with
our
constituents.
I
am
aware
that
there
are
some
people
that
would
like
to
have
things
changed.
I've
asked
them
to.
You
know
great.
Let's
have
a
conversation,
let's
look
at
language
so
that
we
make
sure
that
as
the
adults
in
the
room
we're
doing
what's
best
for
children
and
that's
where
the
core
of
our
work
has
been.
H
Thank
you
very
much
chair
good
to
see
you
again
superintendent
and
I'm,
I
hope,
I'm
just
gonna
talk
candidly
with
you
a
little
bit
about
my
my
reading
of
the
bill.
I'm
gonna
get
to
my
my
question.
Actually
senator
lupe
dunderloop
actually
answered
one
part.
Well
the
question
one
question
I
had,
but
when
I
first
read
the
bill,
you
know
at
first
blush.
H
I
think
what
a
lot
of
people
are
reading
is
a
lot
of
this
stuff
that
a
lot
of
these
commissions
that
we've
created
or
counsels
we've
created
we're
going
to
just
put
them
under
the
nde,
and
it
just
seems
like
we're
putting
all
that
in
one
area.
Maybe
that's
too
much
and
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
people
probably
have
the
same
reaction.
Then
you
go
in
and
you
kind
of
read
a
little
bit
more
deeply
to
find
out.
You
know,
what's
going
on
there,
I
just
wanted
to
get
you
know.
H
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
I
like
I
like
plain
language,
and
so
it
sounds
like
your
answer
to
senator
donderol
loop
was
that
council
that
we're
gonna
sunset.
Like
any
other
council,
we
could
again
come
up
with
a
structure
and
say
that
you're
going
to
do
a
council.
The
council
has
this
task
to
do
and
the
people
who
are
going
to
make
up
the
council
are
a
b
c
d
e,
f
g,
making
sure
that
we
have
diversity
on
the
council
voices
from
all
over
the
place.
H
But
I
think
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
we
have
a
lot
of
commissions
and
count
in
in
councils
and
other
things
just
like.
We
have
statewide,
and
I
think
you
know
perhaps
we
have
too
many
of
them,
and
I
think
that
the
governor's
office
is
having
a.
They
must
have
a
difficult
task
in
trying
to
staff
every
one
of
these
and
I'm
hoping-
and
I
wish
I
could.
I
wish
I
could
change
this.
So
I'm
not
looking
at
myself,
and
I
could
see
that
your
reaction,
because
I
can't
get
this
picture
to
change
it's
frustrating.
H
But
anyway,
I
I
just
kind
of
look
at
it
and
I
think
you
must
be
also
having
a
difficult
time:
staffing
these
councils,
these
commissions
and
so
forth.
Am
I
right
in
saying
that
before
I
continue
on
with
my
question.
F
Thank
you,
senator
yes,
and
it's
it's
good
to
see.
I'm
sure
everybody
enjoys
seeing
your
face
as
well,
so
here
we
go
there
you
go
and
now
you
have
my
face.
F
That
being
said,
so
so
we
stat,
we
currently
staff.
All
you
know
your
first
comment
of,
oh,
my
goodness,
you
know
now
the
department's
going
to
have
all
this
work
to
do.
Well,
it's,
oh,
my
goodness,
all
the
department
does
already
have
all
we.
The
work
is
already
completed
with
the
department
as
the
lead,
and
so
the
work
and
intent
is
to
not
have
the
work
go
away.
It's
to
do
the
work
differently,
and
that's
why
the
blue
ribbon
commission
that
was
pulled
together.
F
Look
at
the
problem
that
we
have
bring
solutions
to
the
legislature
which,
as
senator
dennis
noted,
he'll,
be
bringing
a
bill
forward
out
of
out
and
we
brought
in
actually
national
expertise
and
called
upon
other
states
to
see
what
they're
doing
with
competency-based
learning,
especially
during
this
pandemic.
H
Yes
and
that's
what
I
was
kind
of
getting
at,
but
I
guess
one
of
the
things
that
came
to
my
mind
was
when
you
say
differently
when
and
you
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
when
you're,
when
you
give
an
answer,
but
when
you
were
when
you're
talking
about
differently,
if
you
do
a
board,
if
you're
staffing,
if
you're
putting
people
on
boards
and
commissions,
you
can't
you
can't
serve
on
too
many
in
the
state
right.
So
if
you
serve
on
one
board
or
commission,
you
can't
serve
on
two
three
four
five
boards.
H
But
if
we
do
it
differently-
and
we
put
all
this
under
your
auspice,
then
then
you
actually
can
use
people
more
than
once
you
can.
You
can
use
them
here
or
you
can
use
in
there
depending
on
their
availability
of
their
their
willingness
to
do
it
and
so
forth.
That's
one
I
kind
of
wanted
to
know
if
that's
correct,
because
I
think
that
that's
kind
of
what
we're
getting
as
with
that
flexibility
or
that
differently
model
is
about
getting
people
on
there
that
we
can.
H
You
know
from
just
staffing
them,
but
that
goes
back
to
the
senator
buck's
question
is:
how
do
we
maintain,
if
that's
true,
we
keep
putting
the
same
people
on
a
lot
of
the
councils
and
boards
and
commissions?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
we
still
have
that
diversity
of
opinion
coming
into
into
into
your
office?.
F
Thank
you,
superintendent,
ebert,
for
the
record,
so
that
is
not
the
intent.
I
think
again
with
transparency
posting
who
is
serving
personally,
you
know
I.
I
have
always
been
one
to
make
sure
that
there
are
diverse
voices
around
the
table,
and
I
you
know
if
someone
says
they're
not
at
the
table
and
they
need
to
be
we'll,
listen
and-
and
actually
I
want
to
say
too,
all
the
voices
will
be
heard
with
all
the
information
that
is
always
shared
in
the
feedback
gathered.
H
Would
we
also
be
getting
and
I'll
I'll
ask
this
last
thing
and
then
I'll
turn
it
over?
Because
I
know
other
people
have
questions
and,
like
senator
john
darrell,
loop
I'll
probably
have
another
one
later
on,
but
I
want
other
people
to
ask
questions
as
well.
Do
we
you
there
is
a
reporter
there's?
There
is
paperwork
that
comes
out
and
says
these
are
the
people
who
are
on
these
boards
and
commissions.
So
it's
transparent
people
get
to
see
that
and
that
comes
out
how
often.
F
So
those
are
posted
on
our
website
and
as
members
change,
they're
updated
so
almost
instantaneously.
You
went
to
our
website
you'll
see
the
members
of
any
committee
or
commission
at
this
point
in
time.
H
Yeah-
and
I
think
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
got
on
the
record
in
case
anybody
is
wondering
I
I
it
is
it's
available.
It's
always
out
there.
You
can
get
it
up
the
update,
so
everybody
knows
who's
on
these
boards
and
commissions.
So,
even
if
there
are
somebody-
and
I
guess,
there's
one
thing
that
I
didn't
get
an
answer
to-
and
that
is
if
it
is,
if
it
stays
as
is-
and
it's
a
board
commission
council,
is
it
true
that
you
can
only
serve
on
one
at
a
time?
F
Superintendent
ebert
for
the
record.
I
am
not
aware
specifically
if
that
is
in
statute,
that
people
cannot
serve.
I
would
need
to
ask
actually.
H
Fine-
and
I
can
wait
for
an
answer
later
on
as
well
or
senator
dennis.
C
H
Thank
you,
mr
killian,
and
so
I'll
turn
over
the
my
time
to
somebody
else.
So
thank
you,
chair
and
thank
you.
Superintendent.
A
Thank
you,
superintendent.
Can
you
a
couple
things
I
want
you
to
address.
You
know
the
the
bill
says
abolishing
right,
but
you're
not
abolishing
the
what
the
what
those
commissions
are
doing
correct.
A
F
Thank
you,
superintendent,
ebert,
for
the
record.
Yes,
what
I
would
offer
you
is
our
nevada,
digital
learning
collaborative
which
we
spun
up.
So
we
could
not
get
the
mission
on
educational
technology
together,
and
so
we
spun
up
the
digital
learning
collaborative,
which
has
been
amazing
teachers
coming
together
and
supporting
across
the
state,
the
movement
in
that
area.
So
yes,
that
work
that
was
given
to
the
commission
back
in
1996,
I
believe,
continues
in
a
much
different
way.
A
Yeah
and
so
yeah,
and
actually
that
just
that
brings
back
memories.
I
was
actually
a
parent
representative
on
that
first
commission
and
that
way
back
then
before
I
was
in
the
legislature,
but
the
the
the
other
question
that
I
would
ask
is
what
about
the
who
is
going
to
appoint
those
folks.
You
just
mentioned
an
example
with
the
commission
on
on
education
technology.
A
I
mean.
Were
there,
you
know
in
the
commission,
education
technology.
We
had
folks
that
were
parents
as
well
as
business
people
as
well
as
teachers,
and
how
is
that
part
going
to
continue
to
make
sure
that
you
have
that
in
all
all
the
different
things
that
you're
creating
the
groups
that
you're
creating.
F
You
pre-intended
ebert
for
the
record,
so
I
am
blessed
to
work
with
the
state
board
of
education
and
we
for
the
diversity
component.
We
actually
started
a
new
application
process
for
all
of
our
committees
and
commissions
that
ask
a
wide
range
of
questions
if
people
so
choose
to
self-identify
through
that
process,
and
so
that's
one
layer
to
make
sure
that
the
diversity
of
the
commission
also
too,
as
the
state
superintendent.
F
I
have
a
stakeholder
group
that
I
work
with,
which
is
represented
of
many
organizations
across
our
state,
inclusive
of
pta
some
of
the
unions
school
districts.
I
turn
to
them.
I
turn
to
the
rpdps
and
we
turn
to
many
other
organizations
that
work
with
us
across
the
state
to
make
sure
that
the
invitation
is
open
to
those
that
wish
to
serve
from
there.
They
fill
in
the
application
we
have
the
application
process
comes
in,
and
then
we
pull
together.
The
group,
as
we
did
with
the
dlc,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
and
the
blue
ribbon
commission.
A
So
so,
then,
the
only
other,
the
the
question
that
comes
to
mind,
then
is
so
you
know
we
love
the
work
you're
doing
we
love
what
you
do
and
but
you
know
in
the
future,
how
do
we
ensure
that
the
the
your
your
the
person
that
follows
you
is
going
to
continue
to
to
do
this,
because
you
know
right
now
the
way
that
it
sets
specific
things
have
to
happen
because
it's
in
the
statutes.
F
Thank
you.
So
it's
exactly
what
we're
doing
right
now
right,
I'm
sorry,
superintendent,
for
the
record
is
exactly
what
we're
doing
right
now,
you,
as
the
legislative
body,
the
governor,
set
the
expectation
for
the
state
as
a
whole
and
then
through
the
various
mission
or
excuse
me,
then,
through
the
legislative
committee
on
education
in
the
interim
session,
those
pieces
with
the
state
board
of
education,
as
well
as
the
u.s
department
of
education.
There
are
many
layers
within
the
educational
system,
for
accountability
and
or
the
enactment
of
new
regulations
or
policy.
A
Okay,
all
right
other
questions.
Who
else
has
questions
senator
john
darrell
loop.
D
D
Okay,
the
other
thing
is-
and
I
know
this
is
in
your
amendment
and
if
you'd
rather
wait
till
somebody
does
that
I'm
okay
with
it,
but
I'd
like
to
have
an
rpdp
discussion
and
how
that's
changing
and
what's
going
to
happen
and
where
will
our
school
districts
be
with
that.
F
Thank
you
vice
chair
superintendent,
ebert
for
the
record.
We
have
had
conversations
in
the
last
week
with
our
constituents
that
would
like
to
revisit
what
is
currently
proposed
in
senate
bill
76
in
regard
to
rpdp.
F
I'm
so
always
happy
to
have
those
conversations,
and
the
very
first
thing
that
I
always
ask
is
you
know
so
what
additional
language
amendments
would
you
like
to
see
move
forward?
My
understanding
is
that
we'll
have
some
conversation
in
the
next
week
over
some
pro
some
proposals
that
people
would
like
to
talk
perfect.
D
A
This
is
dennis
I
I
will
make
the
comment
that
I
know
that
there
are
going
to
be
some
recommendations,
perhaps
some
amendments
and
some
of
the
comments
that
will
come
after
from
folks.
So
I
know
rpdp
is
one
of
those.
So,
okay,
who
else
has
questions.
H
G
Oh,
it's
right
up
there.
Okay,
so
thank
you
chair
dennis,
so
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that's
gone
into
this,
but
I
I
personally
am
not
willing
to
give
up
yet
on
the
commissions.
I
think
that
these
groups
of
people
that
meet
well.
I
think
there
are
a
lot.
I
am
willing
to
look
at
making
the
numbers
smaller.
G
I
think
they
represent
people
in
nevada
that
have
a
stake
in
the
education
of
our
children
and
I
think
that's
really
important
and
I
think
that
bringing
all
of
it
to
the
department
of
education
in
some
ways,
mutes
the
voices
of
other
nevadans,
and
so
I
really
I
I
hear
what
you're
saying
I
just
have
some
some
personal
issues.
I
guess
with
that.
G
I'm
also
concerned,
as
I
look
at
this,
it
seems
like
the
let's
just
take
the
safety
on
the
safety
committee,
where,
like
getting
rid
of
the
whole
safety
committee,
I
just
feel
like
in
our
school
district.
Safety
is
a
huge
concern.
G
The
people
on
this
committee
are
all
really
important
people
and
I
just
it's.
I
think
we
should
have
more
conversation,
probably
on
what
committees
we
should
keep,
and
maybe
what
committees
maybe
aren't
relevant
at
this
point.
I
I
just
think
to
for
me
to
sit-
and
I've
spent
a
lot
of
time
reading
through
this,
but
to
sit
here
and
just
say
we're
going
to
get
rid
of,
and
this
I'm
just
going
to
throw
out
number
10
committees
or
councils.
F
Superintendent
ebert
for
the
record.
Thank
you,
senator
lange
in
section
five,
just
to
point
out
that,
since
you
brought
up
the
school
safety
instead
of
having
it
as
a
committee,
you
have
it
as
an
advisory,
so
that
work
would
continue
in
an
advisory
and-
and
yes,
you
know
looking
at
at
the
other
committees,
if
that's
the
will
of
of
this
group,
then
we
absolutely
would
do
that.
A
Okay,
well
senator
hardy,
do
you
have
a.
A
H
Yes,
I
do
have
one
additional
question
and
it
kind
of
this
is
regarding
your
slide
number
nine,
where
it
talks
about
the
section
six
and
the
reports
reporting
due
on,
see
you'd
see,
time
and
time
again
the
changes
to
reporting
requirements
in
some
cases
going
from
quarterly
to
you
know
to
every
six
months,
maybe
even
to
a
year,
and
so
I
I
and
when
it
pertains
to
safe
voice.
H
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
see
why
you
felt
the
need
to
change
it
from
a
quarterly
report
to
every
every
six
months.
It
looks
like
january
1st,
then
july
1st.
What
advantages
do
you
have
by
doing
that?
And
if
you
want
to
extrapolate
and
talk
about
reporting
in
general,
because
there's
a
lot
of
that
throughout
the
the
bill?
You
can
certainly
comment
on
that.
H
If
you,
if
you
feel
the
need,
I
can
go
offline
on
that
on
if
you'd
like,
but
this
one
in
particular,
I
just
want
to
kind
of
get
an
idea
of
what
you
were
coming
up
up
against
when
you're
thinking.
Maybe
every
six
months
is
better
than
every
quarter.
F
Thank
you,
senator
hammond
for
the
record
superintendent
ebert
that
actually
came
through
stakeholder
feedback
that
we
had
in
regard
to
the
reporting.
If
a
school
district
wanted
to
report
more
often,
they
absolutely
could
for
us.
These
are
reports.
You
know
twice
a
year.
We
still
want
the
data,
but
the
quarterly
reports.
F
The
timing
on
that
and
the
work
behind
those
our
stakeholder
group
said
that
moving
to
the
twice
a
year,
as
opposed
to
four
times
a
year,
we
would
still
gain
the
same
information
and
be
able
to
take
the
same
necessary
steps
that
we
needed
to
within
our
work.
I
would
also
say
that,
internally,
with
the
department
of
education,
we
actually
for
those
safe
voice
and
other
things
monitor
that
almost
on
a
daily
basis.
F
So
this
is
a
report,
not
a
tracking
and
system
that
we
can
react
to
in
real
time,
and
so
moving
it
from
quarterly
to
biannually
is
a
determination
that
we
would
like
to
move
forward
with.
H
And
I
appreciate
that
answer.
Thank
you
very
much
and
just
out
of
curiosity,
can
you
give
us
sort
of
a
sampling
of
some
of
the
stakeholders
you
had
involved
in
that.
F
Oh,
thank
you,
my
apologies.
I
was
unmuted,
so
we
have
the
largest
school
districts
in
our
state
as
well
as
nass
and
other
constituent
groups.
G
Thank
you
so
much
chair
dennis.
Thank
you,
superintendent,
ebert,
just
a
quick
comment.
You
know
being
a
building
leader
myself
and
then
a
system
leader.
The
reports
there's
so
many
reports
that
come
that
oftentimes.
Our
focus
is
so
I
can
see
where
you
would
get
that
result
from
your
constituency
miss
ever
and
then
also
you
know
whether
you
keep
combine
or
delete
rework
to
advisory.
It
sounds
like
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
the
work
will
continue
to
to
go
on
and
then
all
25
are
good
intentions.
G
I
think
at
the
time
and
I'm
sure,
but
25
separate
ones,
seems
to
overburden
the
work
with
too
much
minutia
and
that
gets
in
the
way
of
how
the
work
gets
done
for
students
and
I've
seen
it
from
the
building
and
the
building
level.
I've
seen
it
from
the
superintendency
level
or
or
executive
director
level,
and
so
I
do
appreciate
you
combining
and
and
just
making
it
more
simplified
so
that
people
can
be
involved,
but
it's
the
right
people
and
at
the
table
and
we
get
input
from
all
stakeholders.
C
One
of
the
challenges.
I
think
that
people
have
in
volunteering
as
it
were,
is
they
have
to
fill
out
financial
disclosures.
They
have
to
do
the
same
things
we
do,
and
you
know
be
subject
to
ethics
laws
and
open
meeting
laws,
and
so
with.
When
you
do
this
shift
to
advisory
groups,
what
is
their
obligation
or
does
it
go
away
for
their
advisory
groups
with
ethics
laws,
open
meeting
laws
and
financial.
F
Thank
you
senator
hardy
for
the
question.
That
is
a
one
area
that
we
would
not
you
know
have
ethics
as
you
do,
and
the
governor
does
with
his
appointments,
so
that
is
that
was
not
contemplated
in
this
work.
C
A
Thank
you,
okay,
any
other
questions,
just
let
me,
while
I'm
before
we
get
to
the
to
the
testimony
forward
against
a
neutral.
My
thought
today
was
that
we
would
hear
the
bill.
A
Let's
see
what
the
issues
are,
we're
going
to
hear
from
those
that
that
that
have
some
amendments
as
well
as
that
don't
like
to
build
loot
like
the
bill
or
neutral
on
it,
and
then
we'll
have
a
chance
to
ask
some
more
questions
after
that.
If
you
have
any
at
that
point
and
then
we'll
have
time
to
to
think
about
it
and
see
if
there's
something
that
that
that
works,
that
we
could
support.
A
So
that's
kind
of
the
process
just
and
there's
nothing
to
keep
us
from
having
another
hearing
on
this
once
we
get
all
these
amendments
and
put
those
all
in
and
perhaps
we'll
have
another
hearing
just
to
make
sure
that
everybody
knows
what's
in
there
because
there's
a
lot
of
things
in
there.
So
with
that
we
are
going
to.
If
I
could
find
my
notes,
we're
going
to
go
to
the
public
testimony.
A
A
We're
going
to
first
start
with
those
that
are
in
support
of
the
bill
and
see
if
I've
got
this
right,
so
those
that
are
in
in
support
of
senate
bill
76,
and
I
and
and
let
me
give
you
some
some
heads
up
for
those
that
are
testifying.
A
If
you
have
an
amendment
and
that
amendment
fixes
your
issue,
but
you
like
the
rest
of
it,
then
go
ahead
and
come
up
in
support.
If
you
you
know,
if
you
just
don't
like
the
bill
and
don't
you
support
it
at
all,
then
oppose
it.
If
you,
if
you
have
some
issues-
and
you
want
to
do
some
amendments
and
but
still
there's
some
other
issues,
there
then
do
neutral.
So
I
I
I
think
the
most
important
thing
is
just
kind
of
hear
your
thoughts
as
you
give
your
testimony
today.
A
I
I
I
I
I
C
C
We
are
in
support
of
this
bill,
but
our
president
will
be
giving
our
comments
on
support.
I
just
wanted
to
talk
to
you
guys
about
our
proposed
amendment,
which
can
be
found
under
the
exhibit,
and
so
first
I'm
going
to
apologize,
because
I
misspelled
amendment
at
the
top,
and
that
is
completely
on
me.
But
what
this
amendment
does
is.
C
It
is
seen
as
friendly
from
my
discussions
with
the
department
of
education,
but
we
are
asking
to
amend
section
31
c,
to
make
it
three
teachers
submitted
by
the
nevada
state,
education
association
and
the
creation
of
a
new
subsection
d,
in
which
one
teacher
would
be
submitted
from
a
list
of
nominees
from
the
clark
county,
education
association.
A
E
I
C
Good
afternoon,
chair
dentist
vice
chair
zanderaloop
and
members
of
the
senate
committee
on
education
for
the
record,
my
name
is
carl
cadoretta
last
k-a-r-l
catarata
c-a-t-a-r-a-t-a
and
I
serve
as
the
youth
commissioner
for
the
nevada
advisory
commission
on
mentoring
for
ncom.
For
short,
I
have
the
distinct
honor
to
represent
ncom
today
to
discuss
the
proposed
wording
in
support
with
nde's
current
updated
amendment
on
stakeholder
improvements
to
keep
ncom
specifically
on
behalf
of
ncom.
C
C
The
outcomes
of
young
people
in
nevada
have
been
of
a
great
concern
to
many
in
my
short
time
as
a
youth
commissioner,
I've
had
the
distinct
privilege
to
in
superintendent
ebert's
words
being
nimble
right
being
nimble
when
it
comes
to
collecting
stories,
collaborating
with
partners
and
strategizing
on
mentorship
outcomes
across
our
state
and
hearing
and
making
sure
that
how
we
find
hope
through
mentorship
during
this
difficult
time,
while
we
were
definitely
challenged
without
funding.
C
C
When
it
came
to
the
unv
college
of
liberal
arts,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
the
director
of
student
and
community
engagement
when
it
came
to
opening
up
new
pathways
for
students
to
get
more
internship
and
mentoring
opportunities
in
local
governments
that
helped
them
in
their
academic
studies
and
for
college
credit.
Encomp
specifically,
was
created
by
the
late
assemblyman
tyrone
thompson,
and
it
is
also
reflected
in
me
personally
when
he
was
my
mentor
in
my
time
as
a
youth
commissioner,
I
found
that
my
volunteer
experience
has
come
full
circle
now.
C
My
ncom
colleagues
and
I
will
continue
his
work
behind
the
scenes
so
to
close
off.
I
hope
that
you
all
consider
keeping
the
state
entity
that
regularly
brings
together
mentoring
leaders
across
our
state
and
vote
in
the
affirmative
for
the
ncom
amendment
this
session.
The
commission
is
always
willing
to
work
with
you
all
on
this
committee
and
nde
to
continue
successful
mentoring
outcomes
while
being
frugal
and
efficient
about
resources
for
our
youth
throughout
this
state.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
consideration
have
a
great
day.
A
I
E
E
We
are
the
largest
independent
teachers
union
in
the
country
and
in
the
state
of
nevada
and
the
bargaining
partner
of
the
clark
county
school
district.
We
promote
and
engage
in
bipartisan
advocacy
for
advancing
public
education
in
nevada.
Ccea
would
like
to
voice
our
support
for
senate
bill
76
and
would
like
to
thank
the
department
of
education
for
bringing
forth
this
bill.
As
citizens
of
nevada
have
witnessed
over
the
last
year.
E
It
is
important
for
our
educational
system
to
be
both
responsive
to
emerging
needs
and
efficient
in
carrying
forth
needed
adjustments
to
our
k-12
public
education
system.
Ccea
believes
that
the
removal
of
the
committees
that
are
duplicative
will
increase
the
department's
responsiveness
to
address
the
needs
of
our
students
and
our
teachers,
though
we
support
this
bill.
Ccea
cautions
the
department
that
the
removal
of
committees
may
also
lead
to
an
absence
of
educator
voice
in
the
decision-making
process
leading
to
misinformed
decisions
made
that
will
impact
educators
and
students
across
the
state.
E
E
Cca
looks
forward
to
developing
our
relationship
with
the
department
to
commit,
and
this
committee
with
every
stakeholder
in
the
state
of
nevada,
as
we
return
to
in-person
learning
and
work
towards
our
goals
of
workforce
development,
economic
diversification,
strengthening
the
k-20
education
delivery
system
and,
most
importantly,
supporting
the
needs
of
our
educators
to
enhance
the
opportunities
available
to
our
students.
Thank
you.
I
I
A
Thank
you.
Okay,
let's
go
to
now
we
hear
testimony
in
opposition.
I
B
In
addition,
with
proposed
cuts
to
class
size
reduction,
we
feel
sent
their
own
message
to
relax
reporting
requirements
and
variances
to
pupil
teacher
ratios.
At
this
time.
For
more
than
20
years,
the
academic
standards
council
has
worked
to
ensure
high
measurable
standards
in
english,
language,
arts,
mathematics,
science,
social
studies,
computer
and
technology,
education,
the
arts
and
health
and
physical
education.
These
standards
are
designed
to
help
improve
the
academic
achievement
of
nevada
students.
The
ongoing
existence
of
the
council
is
important
to
make
sure
deliberations
about.
Academic
standards
are
public,
with
representation
on
the
council.
B
That
includes
active
educators,
professional
development
programs
or
rpdps
have
been
a
lifeline
for
educators
across
the
state
of
nevada.
Our
pdp's
developed
curriculum
resources,
professional
learning,
individual
small
group
coaching,
along
with
support
for
teachers
in
grades
k-12
that
include
all
areas
covered
by
nevada,
academic
content
standards.
B
Rpdp
has
played
a
key
role
in
developing
the
state,
mandated
parental
involvement,
professional
learning
credits,
learning
supports
for
the
newly
adopted
computer
science
standards
and
extensive
training
and
support
for
math
ela
and
next
generation
science
standards
rpdps
have
also
been
a
great
resource
for
teachers
working
toward
their
national
board.
Certification,
elimination
of
the
rpdp
regional
governing
bodies
and
statewide
council
could
jeopardize
the
work
of
the
rpdps
and
would
eliminate
the
voice
of
active
educators
on
these
bodies.
B
Finally,
we
all
know
that
nevada
is
the
largest
class
sizes
in
the
country.
This
problem
has
been
an
ongoing
focus
of
the
legislature,
with
the
proposed
156
million
dollar
cut
to
class
size
reduction
in
the
next
biennium
nevada
could
see
ballooning
class
sizes,
given
this
right
now
might
not
be
the
best
time
to
relax
reporting
requirements
on
variances
granted
to
people-teacher
ratios,
while
class
size
variances
can
seem
like
just
a
formality.
Nfc
encourages
decision
makers
to
better
appreciate
the
impact
of
these
variances
on
the
teaching
and
learning
experience
in
the
classroom.
B
I
E
M-A-R-Y-P-I-E-R-C-Z-Y-N-S-K-I
and
I'm
representing
the
nevada
association
of
school
superintendents,
which
is
an
organization
composed
of
all
17
superintendents
in
the
state,
we're
in
opposition
to
fc
76,
as
as
it
is
currently
written,
primarily
because
of
the
the
bill
eliminates
the
regional
governing
boards
of
the
regional
professional
development
program.
The
rpdps
were
created
in
the
early
2000s
to
provide
professional
development
for
teachers
throughout
the
state.
E
Nevada
need
a
professional
development
to
meet
the
new
requirements
that
no
child
left
behind
districts,
especially
smaller
ones,
did
not
have
the
money
to
support
large
training
programs
and
so
governor
kenny
glenn
instituted.
The
rpdp
to
provide
professional
development
districts
went
together
to
create
the
regional
programs.
There
are
three
in
existence
now
and
each
has
a
governing
board.
The
governing
boards
consist
of
a
superintendent
from
each
of
the
districts
involved
in
that
region,
a
teacher
from
each
district,
a
representative
from
the
nevada
system
of
higher
ed
and
a
person
from
the
nevada
department
of
education.
E
We
oppose
the
bill
because
the
bill
eliminates
the
three
regional
governing
boards.
The
boards
facilitate
the
decision
making
necessary
to
respond
to
the
local
professional
development
needs
of
the
districts.
They
serve
each
district
is
unique
and
you've
already
heard
that
so
the
regional
approach
to
the
professional
development
has
really
worked
well,
rather
than
a
statewide
approach.
E
I
C
C
As
I
understand
that
came
from
a
student
within
the
washoe
county,
school
district
and
we'd
like
to
see
that
move
forward
for
her
benefit.
But,
as
you
heard
from
ms
pruzinski,
the
washoe
county
school
district
board
of
trustees
adopted
a
poor
board
platform
that
included
full
support
for
the
regional
professional
development
governing
boards.
We
believe
they
are
nimble
and
teacher
driven
in
order
to
meet
student
needs.
C
If
nothing
else,
I
think
our
district
would
like
to
see
those
meetings
at
least
be
in
public.
We
do
have
many
educators
that,
like
to
watch
and
listen
to
those
meetings
as
they
go
forward,
and
we
know
it
has
worked
in
the
past-
we've
seen
it
work
in
the
past.
C
I
remember
when
senator
debbie
smith
was
the
chair
of
the
council
to
develop
academic
standards
as
a
parent
representative,
and
so
we
know
it
can
work,
maybe
with
the
some
of
the
technology
that
we're
now
all
used
to
using
it'll
be
easier
to
meet
quorum,
but
we
certainly
understand
the
plight
of
the
department
of
ed.
We
ourselves
have
over
14
commissions,
that
report
to
our
board
of
trustees
that
are
all
subject
to
open
media
law.
C
I
I
I
B
In
addition,
I'd
love
to
tell
you
why
I
think
financial
literacy
is
such
an
important
issue
for
young
people,
as
well
as
the
history
of
our
work
promoting
this
issue.
Over
the
past
four
years,
I
advocated
for
better
financial
literacy
as
a
youth
legislator
in
high
school,
because
I
realized
that
arcade
through
12
edge
school
education,
did
not
include
sufficient
real-world
practical
skills.
B
My
peers
shared
similar
concerns
with
me.
Many
of
us
had
part-time
jobs
but
hardly
knew
about
taxes.
Many
of
us
were
enticed
by
tantalizing
credit
card
offers
without
fully
understanding
the
consequences
of
debt
and,
most
importantly,
many
of
us
did
not
know
how
to
keep
an
emergency
savings
fund
in
times
of
crisis.
B
My
deep
concern
about
financial
literacy
in
our
school
system
led
me
to
reach
out
to
former
senator
woodhouse,
who
sponsored
sb
220
in
2015
and
later
reintroduced
it
as
to
sb
249.
In
the
2017
session,
sb
249
was
signed
into
law
in
2017
and
expanded
financial
literacy
to
the
third
through
12th
grade
academic
standard
sb
314
in
2019,
further
improved
on
the
progress
we
made
by
giving
teachers
the
necessary
resources
and
training
to
provide
students
with
the
best
instruction
possible
on
this
topic.
B
However,
too
few
nevadans
have
adequate
knowledge
of
financial
literacy,
an
amazing
and
emergency
savings
account
or
other
systems
in
place
to
weather
such
a
crisis.
These
trying
times
precisely
underscore
the
need
for
financial
literacy
instruction
and
show
why
this
is
essential
to
the
well-being
of
nevadans.
B
I
remain
unwavering
in
my
commitment
to
financial
literacy
in
hopes
that
thousands
of
students
across
nevada
will
have
the
tools
to
think
more
prudently
about
their
financial
decisions.
Thanks
to
your
consideration
of
this
issue,
I
ask
you
to
please
help
us
ensure
the
continuity
of
this
mission
by
retaining
the
council
on
financial
literacy
and
sb76.
A
I
B
Thank
you,
chair
dennis,
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record.
My
name
is
david
dazzlich,
that's
d-a-z-l-I-c-h
and
I'm
the
director
of
government
affairs
with
the
las
vegas
chamber.
We
are
here
to
testify
in
neutral
today.
As
you
know,
the
chamber
has
been
engaged
on
improving
k-12
education
in
nevada
for
many
years,
and
while
we
had
initially
plans
to
oppose
this
bill
after
hearing
the
superintendent's
presentation
today
and
understanding
the
difficulty
associated
with
filling
these
commission
seats,
the
chamber
is
now
in
neutral
on
this
bill.
B
We
believe
it's
important
that
this
work
be
able
to
proceed
forward
in
a
timely
manner,
and
without
these
commission
seats
filled
in
the
ability
to
meet
quorum,
then
it
is
important
that
the
department
of
ed
move
forward
in
future
and
for
the
record,
we
would
also
like
to
offer
the
chambers
assistance,
whenever
necessary,
in
recruiting
qualified
individuals
to
fill
seats
on
these
boards
and
commissions
as
necessary.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So,
let's,
let's
bring
it
back
to
the
committee.
A
A
Donate
okay,
it
says
you're
unmuted,
but
I
don't
hear
you
so,
let's
see
nope
still
vps.
Do
we
oh
wait
now
it
says
you're,
muted,
then
I'll
unmute
and
see
if
it
starts
working
again.
C
Senator
donate
this
is
kim
with
bps.
There's
that
little
carrot
by
the
mute
button,
if.
E
You
toggle
what
it
says
at
the
top:
select
your
microphone
click
on
same.
C
As
system
then
go
back
into
the
carrot
and
go
back
to
microphone
and
that
should
jog
it
for
you
good,
did
it
work,
yay,
awesome,
okay,
the
only
thing
that
I
would
mention:
it's
not
really
a
question.
It's
more
of
a
comment.
C
I
would
reiterate
what
senator
buck
requested
earlier
regarding
getting
getting
us
a
list
of
what
isn't
saying
what
isn't
going,
just
a
breakdown
of
that
more
concretely
than
what
has
been
provided
and
with
that
that
way,
we
can
compare
with
what
the
amendments
are
proposing
and
then
just
as
a
recommendation
to
just
tried
lightly.
I
understand
the
sentiment
of
reducing
the
boards
and
why
that
is
sometimes
an
impediment,
but
also
the
need
for
diversity
and
making
sure
that
all
voices
are
heard.
A
Thank
you
and,
and
one
thing
on
that
list
before
I
forget
the
one
that
the
superintendent
showed
us
had
25
on
there,
but
I
believe
teachers
and
leaders,
capital
was
on
there
twice.
So
so,
if
you
yeah,
that
would
be
great.
If
you
could
get
us
a,
I
think,
a
breakdown
of
the
those
that
list
that
you
had
on
the
the.
I
think
we
have
that
power
that
presentation,
but
so
what
else?
So?
What
other
questions
do
we
have?
As
a
as
a
committee.
G
Thank
you.
I
guess
this
mine,
too,
is
just
kind
of
a
comment
I
think
oftentimes
when
we
take
away
committees
and
we
move
on
the
burden
of
whatever
we're
doing
to
an
organization.
G
Let's
just
say,
for
this
purpose
the
department
we
lose
voices
of
people
that
are
actually
doing
the
work
in
the
schools,
the
teachers
and
I
just
I
just
having
a
really
hard
time
losing
that
voice,
because
I
think
it's
so
important,
but
I
do
have.
May
I
ask
a
quick
question
chair.
G
Okay,
in
section
one-
and
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
what
senator
hammond
asked
before
and
if
it's,
if
it
is,
then
I
think
my
question
has
been
answered,
but
if
it
isn't,
this
may
be
new
in
section
one
number
two.
I
think
it
is
well
no,
it
goes
one
two
three
four,
oh
b.
G
I
don't
know
it's
kind
of
weird,
but
it's
on
page
it's
on
the
second
page,
where
it
says
on
it
before
march
31st
of
each
year
and
we've
changed
the
report
to
be
every
five
years,
and
I
just
wonder
if
the
superintendent
would
talk
about
that
a
little
bit,
because
I
think
things
change
a
lot
in
five
years.
I
think
students
changed
a
lot
in
two
years
and
five
years
seems
like
a
pretty
long
time
to
me.
F
Yes,
yes,
thank
you
senator
lang
for
the
question
state
superintendent
ebert
for
the
record,
so
we
were
looking
at
several
different
resources
as
far
as
best
practices
for
establishing
long-term
goals,
and
obviously
ten
years
is
too
long.
One
year
is
too
short,
and
so
we
pulled
business
practices
from
the
harvard
business
school
as
one
example.
G
Thank
you
and
chair.
I-
and
you
mentioned
this
just
a
minute
ago,
but
I
too
would
like
now
that
we've
heard
some
testimony
and
I'd
like
some
time
to
digest,
digest
this
and
come
back
to
it
again.
A
Yeah
that
that
was
the
intent
and
and
what
I
will
tell
you
is
if,
if
this
was
about
taking
away
voices
in
all
these,
you
know
that
we
currently
have.
Then
I
wouldn't
support
this.
I
don't,
and
I
won't
speak
for
the
superintendent,
but
I
don't
my
understanding
is
that
that
those
same
voices
would
continue
to
be
heard
and
perhaps
even
better,
because
in
some
cases
we're
not
hearing
their
voices
because
they're
not
able
to
make
quorum
in
some
of
these
so
yeah.
A
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
whatever
you
know,
if
this
sort
of
pass,
that
whatever
we
do,
that
those
voices
are
still
going
to
be
heard
so
because
I
agree
with
you-
I
don't
I
don't
want
to
take.
A
Many
of
these
commissions
are
ones
that
I
helped
support
and
in
some
cases
I
created,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
all
those
different
voices
and
the
opportunities
for
the
different
pieces
and
and
voices
throughout
the
state
have
that
opportunity,
whether
it's
teachers,
whether
it's
parents,
whether
it's
even
business
folks
we
have
those
on
there
and
and
administrators
and
others
so
want
to
make
sure
that
all
those
voices
are
there.
A
Comments:
okay,
so
with
that
superintendent,
would
you
like
to
make
any
final
comments
before
I
close
the
hearing
on
on
the
bill.
F
Thank
you,
chair
dennis
for
number
one.
The
opportunity
to
be
here.
The
team
in
the
nevada
department
of
education
spent
a
lot
of
time
with
our
con
constituents,
as
you
know,
trying
to
take
this
opportunity
of
the
crisis
to
make
sure
that
we
were
agile
that
were
responsive
to
our
constituents
that
were
inclusive
of
all
those
that
we
serve
and
in
a
timely
manner.
F
So
again,
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
hearing
our
voices
today.
I
also
want
to
reiterate
my
thanks
to
your
staff.
This
was
a
very
long
and
complicated
bill
and
they
were
very
helpful
in
in
giving
us
the
right
words,
the
technical
words
that
need
to
happen
to
make
this
work
happen.
So
thank
you.
I
will
also
add
that
we
will
continue
to
work,
definitely
heard
the
voices
with
the
regional
professional
development
programs
and
the
concern
to
make
sure
that
especially
I
mean
it's
all
of
our
districts.
A
Public
comment
is
limited
to
two
minutes
per
person
and
please
remember
to
state
and
spell
your
name
for
the
record
and
indicate
your
affiliation
if
any
we'll
broadcast
the
production
services.
Please
add
the
first
caller.
I
I
A
Well,
I
know
that
we
have
miss
anderson
and
miss
pricinski
and
they
normally
do
a
good
news
minute,
and
I
always
like
to
finish
with
that.
I
don't
know
if
they
want
to
if
they
have
a
good
news
minute
for
us
today,.
F
So
we
had
a
nation,
a
national
awardee
in
the
hall
of
fame
a-c-t-e
craig
statute.
Our
director
is
being
recognized
for
his
lifelong
work
to
support
career
and
technical
education,
not
only
here
he
was
formerly
in
the
clark
county
school
district.
He
now
is
leading
the
work
statewide
we're
so
glad
he
joined
our
team
and
he
was
recognized
for
his
work
in
the
local
state,
but
at
the
national
level,
and
so
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
recognize
one
of
our
team
members
who
supports
our
entire
students.
A
Thank
you.
That's
wonderful!
It's
always
good
to
see
that
we've
got
folks
that
are
influencing
education
across
the
country,
not
just
here,
but
what
we
do
here.
We
have
some
really
good
things
that
we
do
here
and
to
be
recognized.
For
that.
That's
great,
so
I
don't
know
if
we
have
it
anybody
sense,
connect
or
actually,
I
believe
we
have
mr
priscinsky
and
miss
anderson
on
our
video
thing
that
we
could,
if
they
want
to
come
on,
I
don't
see
them
unmuting.
A
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
all
right,
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
then-
and
so
we
have
no
further
items
to
come
before
us
at
this
time,
so
we
will
go
ahead
and
our
next
meeting
will
be
on
monday.
