A
All
right
welcome
to
the
joint
interim
standing
committee
on
Education
meeting
today
this
August
30th.
This
is
our
10th
meeting
of
the
joint
interim
standing
committee
on
education
and
will
the
secretary
please
call
the
roll.
D
A
Here,
thank
you.
It's
exciting
we're
all
here
together
today,
especially
on
this
one,
where
we're
gonna
on
the
other
ones.
We
were
learning
a
lot
of
stuff
about
education
and
getting
reports
and
things,
and
today
we're
going
to
be
voting
on
some
things.
A
So
it's
good
to
have
everybody
here
all
together,
we
are
first
just
the
reminders
about
the
electronic
devices
put
them
on
silent
and
identifying
yourself
for
the
record
each
time
you
speak
and
then
test
it
when
testifying
turn
the
microphone
on
and
off,
just
want
to
keep
that
clear
for
the
record
and
then
also
the
sign
in
table,
if
you
are
here
or
in
Las
Vegas
sign
in
at
the
table
near
the
front
location
and
any
materials
received
prior
to
the
meeting
have
been
uploaded
to
our
committee's
web
page,
and
you
can
receive
electronic
notifications
of
the
committee's
agendas
minutes
and
final
report
by
signing
up
on
the
Nevada
LED

A
Legislature's
website
also
at
least
know
that
during
the
committee,
the
zoom
chat
features
only
to
be
used
for
technical
assistance
for
our
broadcaster
Production
Services.
Colleagues,
we're
all
here
today,
so
that
probably
doesn't
even
it's
not
as
a
big
an
issue,
but
with
that
we're
going
to
start
with
the
public
comment
I
actually
before
we
get
to
public
comment.
Let
me
just
make
a
couple
really
quick
comments.
So
today
is
different
than
all
the
other
meetings
that
we've
had
as
I
alluded
to
we're
going
to
get.
A
These
are
all
things
that
we
will
discuss
as
we
go
through,
but
I'm
just
for
the
for
the
public
I
wanted
you
to
know
how
this
would
this
part
will
go.
So
it's
a
little
bit
different
because
we'll
be
voting
on
some
things
today.
So
with
that,
let's
go
to
public
comment
and
first
we
will
hear
anyone
here
in
the
Carson
City
office
wishing
to
give
public
comment
come
forward,
not
seeing
anybody
here,
let's
go
down
to
Las
Vegas.
A
Anyone
wishing
to
give
public
home
in
Las
Vegas
go
ahead
and
come
forward
and
I
think
we
have
do.
We
have
two
or
three
seats.
There
looks
like
we
have
two
two
I
think
there's
two
mics.
So
as
you
speak,
and
we
will
we'll
just
go
we'll
start
with.
Let's
see
it
would
be
I
guess
your
left,
we'll
start
with
the
person
on
the
left
and
and
then,
as
you
finish
when,
when
they
leave
the
next
person,
can
just
come
up
and
take
the
seat
and
we'll
just
keep
going
until
we're
done
there.
E
Good
afternoon,
chair
Dennis
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Dr
Brenda,
Pearson
and
I
represent
the
Clark
County
Education
Association.
Before
this
committee.
Today
you
will
hear
recommendations
for
legislation
of
which
none
are
more
important
than
those
centered
around
the
work
of
the
commission
on
school
funding.
This
commission
oversees
the
implementation
of
Nevada's
pupil-centered
funding.
E
E
E
E
E
A
Boy,
you
were
just
like
right
on
I
forgot
to
mention
we're
doing
two
minutes
for
public
comment
today
and
you
finished
perfect.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
recommendation.
Let's
go
to
the
next
one.
E
Okay,
my
name
is
Bill
Hanlon
I
know
you'll,
be
looking
at
the
big
picture
today
in
terms
of
education,
but
a
lot
of
parents
are
concerned
about
the
little
picture,
and
that
is
to
answer
a
simple
question,
and
that
is
what
are
you
going
to
do
to
help
my
children
learn
to
be
clear
outside
the
parents
do
to
outside
of
parents?
E
Students
classroom
teaches
the
most
important
factor
in
a
child's
education,
a
teacher's
knowledge
of
content,
how
to
teach
that
content
having
the
strategies
and
resources
that
support
that
content
and
the
knowledge
of
how
to
a
fairly
assess
student
learning
is
important
for
Student
Success.
While
Nevada
has
experienced
a
documented
teacher,
a
math
teacher
Charlotte
since
1985.
that
problem
has
been
exacerbated
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic.
The
need
for
professional
development
has
always
been
there,
but
now
too
many
of
our
students
are
being
taught
by
fill-ins.
E
The
need
is
so
much
greater
than
it
has
ever
been
and
to
be
absolutely
care
clear
without
success.
In
math,
our
students,
chances
for
success
in
science,
engineering
and
Technology
are
pretty
low.
The
district's
response
typically
is
to
buy
another
program
as
a
cya
to
say
they
have
addressed
the
problem
and
mistakenly
think
the
training
on
how
to
use
their
programs
as
professional
development.
It's
not
that
typically
fools
such
groups
as
local
Chambers
of
Commerce,
but
it
doesn't
fool.
E
Anyone
who
understands
that
programs
are
only
as
good
as
teachers,
then,
with
the
local
District's
response
of
ignoring
the
problem
of
teacher
call
Quality.
We
have
principals
evaluating
classes
like
math
who
have
less
knowledge
in
the
feelings
they
are
supervising.
Just.
How
does
that
improve
instruction
of
student
achievement
as
a
legislature?
I
think
you
can
do
four
things
one.
You
can
encourage
the
governor
to
restore
increase
the
professional
development
funding
to
pre-recession
levels
in
this
proposed
budget.
Two.
You
could
support
that
increase
and
move
funding
that
does
three.
E
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Let's
go
to
the
next
caller
actually
before
you
go,
I
want
to
take
a
personal
privilege,
because
Mr
Hanlon
I
know
he's
a
math
teacher
has
taught
for
many
years
and
that
just
reminded
me,
I
just
attended
a
funeral
of
my
eighth
grade.
My
ninth
grade
pre-algebra
teacher
and
got
me
thinking
about
how
you
know
he
taught
I
think
for
like
42
years,
because
there
was
such
a
need
for
Math
teachers
and.
A
And
he
was
he
so
so
I
appreciate
all
teachers,
but
I
know
that
we
have
such
a
huge
need
for
Math
teachers.
So
I
appreciate
Mr
Helen,
his
advocacy
for
Math
teachers,
so
I
just
started
for
the
detour
there
for
a
second.
But
let's
go
ahead.
C
C
E
E
Good
afternoon,
chair
Dennis
committee
members,
my
name
is
Marie
nices
and
I'm.
The
president
of
the
Clark
County
Education
Association
ccea,
is
the
only
official
educator
Union
recognized
by
the
Clark
County
School
District
I'm,
here
to
speak
to
agenda
item.
23.
CCA
looks
forward
to
the
report
that
the
committee
will
issue
regarding
the
composition
of
school
boards
and
will
actively
engage
in
the
next
legislative
session
for
constructive
change
for
the
school
board
governance.
E
Over
the
last
several
years,
the
community
has
had
a
front
row
seat
to
the
dysfunction
and
internal
fighting
among
the
CCSD
Board
of
Trustees.
The
trustee's
number
one
focus
should
be
making
sound
student
and
staff
focused
decisions,
but
instead
some
trustees
attack
one
another
during
the
school
board
meetings
and
on
social
media.
The
community
has
witnessed
the
school
board.
Meetings
become
a
focus
of
personal
agendas
rather
than
focusing
on
students.
The
board's
dysfunction
has
negatively
impacted
both
CCSD
students
and
staff.
E
G
E
H
F
E
E
E
E
Unr
and
Columbia
University
to
assess
our
state's
assets,
Workforce
pipelines,
K-12
education
system
and
Regulatory
environment
that
will
ultimately
produce
legislative
proposals
centered
on
improving
our
Workforce
and
strengthening
the
economy
phase.
One
of
the
study
has
just
wrapped
and
we
look
forward
to
sharing
this
work
with
members
of
the
committee.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
chair
Dennis
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
Jana
wilcoxlavin
I'm,
the
CEO
of
opportunity,
180.
we're
a
non-profit
committed
to
increasing
the
number
of
high
quality
schools
in
Nevada
that
ensure
our
students
are
leaving
High,
School,
College
and
Career
ready
prepared
to
live
whatever
life
they
dream.
B
One
of
the
core
lovers
of
our
work
is
good
governance
and
among
our
work
in
advocating
for
good
governance
in
our
education
systems,
opportunity
provides
training
opportunities
for
charter
school
board
members.
We
help
match
individuals
with
potential
educational
organizations
where
they
can
serve.
We
also
watch
school
board
meetings
across
the
state
provide
synopsis
of
these
to
engage
more
people
in
what's
happening
in
governance
in
our
K-12
system
and
next
week,
we'll
be
launching
our
voter
guide
on
CCSD
School
Board
trustees
to
learn
more
about
the
candidates
on
the
final
on
the
final
ballot.
B
We
believe
that
good
governance
within
our
education
system
is
critical
for
student
achievement
and
for
our
state
to
continue
to
work
towards
improving
student
outcomes.
As
we've
shared
with
this
committee
before
and
others,
we've
been
working
with
a
small
group
of
Representatives
that
we
hope
continues
to
grow
where
we
can
hear
more
voices
to
put
forward
a
framework
for
good
governance
for
our
community
in
K-12,
anchoring
on
three
guiding
principles.
The
first
representation
ensuring
the
composition
of
the
board
represents
the
diversity
of
our
constituents.
Second
is
qualifications.
B
Ensuring
the
composition
of
board
members
represents
the
expertise
aligned
to
the
role
of
the
board
and
accountability
methods
on
how
School
Board
trustees
are
selected
to
the
board
and
ensure
board
members
can
carry
out
their
commitment
to
the
state's
goals
on
student
achievement
achievement
as
outlined
both
in
our
federally
approved
Essa
plan
and
our
state
Improvement
plan.
We
believe
that
these
guiding
principles
in
K-12,
School,
Board
trustees,
will
help
create
the
conditions
to
ensure
that
our
schools
are
best
serving
students
for
their
future
success.
E
E
Of
Nevada,
representing
over
62
000
students
all
across.
A
E
To
improve
the
level
of
education
for
all
the
veterans
here,
thank
you
very
much.
E
Good
afternoon,
chair
Dennis
and
members
of
the
interim
Community
Education
for
the
record,
my
name
is
Alex.
Bybee
I
serve
as
the
chief
strategy
officer
for
communities
and
schools
of
Nevada,
a
Statewide,
evidence-based
non-profit
organization.
Providing
integrated
student
supports
to
90
000
students
in
the
Clark
Elko
Humboldt
and
Washoe
County
School
Districts.
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
offer
public
comment.
I
E
Declining
nationally
and
in
Nevada,
as
well
by
1.2
1.2
percent
last
school
year,
we
are
asking
the
committee
to
vote
in
the
affirmative
to
adopt
the
recommendation
that
communities
and
schools
of
Nevada
submitted
to
include
a
statement
similar
to
this
committee's
final
report.
In
the
last
interim,
expressing
support
for
Appropriations
for
the
reinstatement
of
funding
for
wraparound
services.
C
A
I
know
I
have
in
Las
Vegas
Miss
Rudy
who's,
our
LCB
research,
our
Deputy
research
director,
it's
Rudy.
Is
there
anyone
else
there
coming
forward.
A
Thank
you
and
there'll
be
another
opportunity
at
the
end,
also
to
give
public
comment
and
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
are
limiting
it
to
two
minutes
today.
Let's
go
to.
A
E
E
E
Our
worry
within
our
community
is
that
if
this
is
not
a
legal
requirement
that
high
schools
won't
actually
be
able
to
be
held
accountable
for
not
allowing
our
native
students
to
participate
using
their
regalia.
But
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
make
this
public
comment
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here
today.
E
I
do
not
believe
that
a
letter
addressed
to
school
districts
will
be
able
to
guarantee
that
I
will
be
able
to
fully
celebrate
myself
on
the
day
that
should
be
dedicated
to
my
academic
success.
I
strongly
believe
that
a
law
should
be
considered
to
allow
students
to
celebrate
and
express
themselves
on
graduation
day.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
It's
always
good
to
have
students
give
us
their
opinion.
So
thank
you.
Let's
go
to
the
next
caller.
E
E
C-H-R-I-S-T-I-N-E-S-A-U-N-D-E-R-S
and
I'm
the
policy
director
with
Progressive
leadership
Alliance
in
Nevada
I,
just
wanted
to
put
on
the
record
our
support
for
our
partners
at
nsca
in
regards
to
items
number
25
and
55
the
time
for
20
and
respect
educator
tax
proposal.
In
addition,
I
wanted
to
also
extend
our
support
for
item
21
and
let
this
proposal
to
ensure
native
students
to
wear
cultural
attire
during
their
graduation
ceremonies,
because
Bill
drafted,
and
not
just
the
letter
of
recommendation
to
ensure
that
all
Native
students
forget,
regardless
of
their
school
district,
have
this
opportunity.
Thank
you.
E
Good
afternoon
and
the
committee
this
is
Dora
Martinez
representing
the
disability,
pre-action
Coalition
I
was
going
to
come
to
Carson
City,
but
my
service
dog
decided
that
he
it's
his
vacation
date
since
it's
his
birthday,
so
I'm
calling
in
instead,
so
I
want
to
Echo
the
the
prior
callers
regarding
the
native
attires.
E
We
support
that.
I
also
want
to
thank
everyone,
especially
the
Talman,
who
was
talking
about
the
choral
Academy
Schools.
E
My
daughter

taking
pre-cal
because
of
the
formative
years
in
Coral

but
she
I
want
to
thank

and
those
who
started
the
Nevada
guarantee,
Nevada,
promise

and
all
the

are
available
to
nevadans,
because
my
kids
are
were
able
and
are
using
those
scholarship,

Nevada
Reno

kudos
to
the
coral

E
Teaching

I
also
want
to

a
half.
So
thank
you
for
all
that.
You
do
and
we
appreciate
your
time,
take
care.
E
Good
afternoon
Chris
Bailey
Nevada
State
Education
Association,
the
voice
of
Nevada
Educators
for
over
120
years
for
most
nfca
is
specified
to
this
committee
and
others
about
Nevada's
dire
educator
shortage.
Now,
with
student
staffing
school,
we
still
have
near
record
shortages
of
teachers,
other
licensed
professionals
and
education
support
professionals.
Even
satter.
The
state's
response
has
been
like
bringing
a
bucket
of
water
to
a
five
alarm.
Fire
ability
has
been
tracking
vacant
positions
across
Nevada
school
districts.
Most
alarming
CCSD
still
lists
nearly
2
000
vacant
positions
about
the
same
number
listed
a
month
ago.
E
The
issue
is
not
limited
to
Clark.
County
Washington
still
lists
over
360
vacancies,
and
there
are
still
hundreds
of
vacancies
across
Nevada
from
rural
counties.
Earlier
this
month,
the
economic
policy
Institute
released
their
report
on
teacher
pay
in
2021.
they
found
the
pay
gap
between
teachers
and
other
college.
Educated
professionals
reached
an
all-time
high
in
Nevada.
That
Gap
is
20.4
percent.
E
Nfc
has
been
calling
for
bold
action
to
address
this
crisis,
to
adequately
fund
public
education
in
Nevada
and
to
respect
and
retain
our
experienced
Educators
it's
time
for
20..
That
means
a
20
increase
in
educator
paid
at
least
20
an
hour
for
the
workers
who
make
our
schools
run.
This
is
the
right

we'll
get
Educators.
E
The
pay
they
need
to
make
ends
meet
lack
of
competitive
pay
is
a
big
cause
of
our
vexing
educator
shortage,
but
poor
working
conditions
are
another
major
factor
with
some
of
the
largest
class
sizes
in
the
country.
Time
for

nscas
unveiled
the
respect,

E
This
includes
real

for

committed
against
Educators
and
giving
Educators
the
tools
they

The

calls
for
the
creation
of
a
monitoring
committee,
including
Educators,
from
across
the
state
legislators
and
nde,
to
gain
a
clear
understanding
of
the

of

secure

for

It's
also
a
key
component
of
the

Educators
act.
This
includes
parenting,
Educators,
have
their
professional

E
Discretion

other

greater
autonomy
regarding
student

are
able
to
better
enforce
student
attendance
requirements
and
also
have
Fair.
A
Okay,
so
that
looks
like
it
seems,
like
we've
gotten
all
those
that
want
to
get
public
comment
at
this
point
and
as
I
said,
there
will
be
another
opportunity
at
the
end.
Also.
A
A
Have
a
motion
by
Vice
chair,
Bill,
Perry,
Axelrod,
second
from
Senator,
Don,
Daryl
Loop,
and
any
further
discussion
on
on
the
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
of
June
15th
and
July
29th
hearing
men,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
and
impose
say,
nay,
okay,
the
motion
passes
and
the
minutes
are
approved.
A
We'll
now
go
to
item
number
agenda:
number
four
appointment
of
replacement
member
to
vacate
position
to
the
Nevada
state,
teacher,
Recruitment
and
Retention
advisory
task
force.
If
you
will
recall
back
in
at
our
first
meeting
in
February,
we
appointed
the
members
of
the
Nevada
teacher,
Recruitment
and
Retention
advisory
task
force.
A
You
will
see
a
list
in
you
in
your
materials
on
the
agenda
of
eligible
applicants
who
applied
for
the
position
on
the
task
force
earlier
this
year.
Their
qualifications
are
also
outlined
in
the
exhibit
for
this
agenda
item.
So
it's
the
same
list
that
we
looked
at
back
in
in
February
and
I
will
tell
you
that,
as
as
we
went
through
and
looked
at
those,
we
had
a
lot
of
applicants
actually
from
the
Elko
area.
A
A
We
had
one
of
the
things
that
we
didn't
was
someone
that
had
a
veteran
or
military
spouse
status,
and
so,
as
we
looked
at
that
Elko
list,
the
the
person
that
was
second
on
that
list,
when
we
were
considering
back
in
February,
was
Alicia
Logan
who,
in
addition
to
to
having
that
veterans,
military
status,
also
29
years
as
a
special
ed
teacher
and
has
taught
both
in
elementary
middle
school
and
high
school
level,
and
so
I
want
us
to
consider
that
one
but
I
do
if
there's
any
other
ones
that
you
that
you
wanted
to
look
at.
A
We
can
consider
those
or
have
a
discussion
about
that
at
this
point.
Yes,
Miss
Miller.
F
A
F
A
A
It's
right,
correct,
yeah
I
was
going
to
mention
that
thank
you
for
for
bringing
that
up
yeah.
She
has
accepted
a
position
in
administration
which
makes
her
ineligible
to
be
on
the
teacher
recruitment
task
force
so
and
that's
why
we're
making
the
change
at
this
point
so
any
other
discussion,
if
not
I,
will
take
a
motion
from
Vice
chair,
Bill
mayax
run.
Thank.
A
Okay,
all
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
post,
say,
nay.
The
motion
passes
the
appointment
of
Alicia
Logan
as
the
replacement
is
approved.
Thank
you
very
much.
They
do
some
great
work
and,
as
you
see
as
we
go
through
our
material
today,
they
give
us
some
great
recommendations
coming
from
that
committee.
So
we
appreciate
the
teachers
and
and
being
able
to
tell
us
what
their
needs
are.
A
A
As
you
recall,
this
was,
from
a
bill
from
last
session,
actually
happened
to
be
one
that
I
sponsored
and
working
with
the
treasurer's
office
to
look
at
how
do
we
fund
and
to
help
us
see
if
there
are
ways
as
we
move
forward,
that
we
could
find
more
permanent
funding
for
the
different
scholarships
that
we
offer
so
with
that
I
believe
we
have
our
state
treasurer.
It's
at
conine
and
Dr
Kenneth
Red,
Sea
Director
of
Education
policy
from
the
Gwen
Center
here
to
do
a
presentation.
E
Good
afternoon,
chair
and
committee
members
I
have
the
pleasure
of
being
Zach
konine,
your
Nevada
state
treasurer
thanks
for
allowing
us
the
time
to
present
and
thank
you
chair
for
presenting
this
bill
in
the
first
place.
By
way
of
background,
my
office's
College
savings
division
operates
the
navigate
program
where
we
help
nevadans
plan
for
save
for
and
pay
for,
post-secondary
Education
through
navigate.
We
offer
a
variety
of
programs
and
services
for
the
benefit
of
veterans
such
as
the
Nevada
college,
Kickstart
program,
Nevada's,
529
savings
plans,
the
prepaid
tuition
program
and
more.
E
Our
team
is
responsible
for
the
administration
of
the
governor
win
Millennium
Scholarship
program.
This
merit-based
scholarship
Awards
up
to
ten
thousand
dollars
to
the
state's
best
and
brightest,
to
help
them
pay
for
tuition
and
Nevada's
higher
education
institutions.
Since
its
Inception
in
2000,
the
program
has
continued
to
grow
and
outpace
its
original
funding
sources,
the
tobacco
settlement
dollars
and
a
annual
7.6
million
dollar
transfer
from
the
office's
unclaimed
property
program
and
has
recently
had
to
rely
on
increasingly
more
significant
One-Shot
Appropriations.
E
Given
this
fact,
our
office
work
closely
with
Senator
Dennis
chair
Dennis
during
the
2021
legislative
session.
On
Senate
Bill
128,
which
directs
our
office
to
contract
with
the
vendor,
to
study
the
effectiveness
and
costs
associated
with
Nevada's,
publicly
funded
scholarship
and
Grant
programs,
I'm
joined
today
by
Dr
Kenny
retzel
from
the
Gwyn
Center,
whose
team
was
tasked
with
the
study
and
who
will
walk
you
through
our
findings
before
I
hand
it
over
to
Dr
retzel
I
just
want
to
thank
again
chair
Dennis
and
the
committee
for
your
ongoing
support
and
collaboration
on
this
subject.
E
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
teams
of
the
Gwen
Center
and
enchi
for
their
partnership.
It
was
a
team
effort.
We
couldn't
have
done
it
without
their
hard
work
and
the
dedicated
education
professionals
who
are
here
with
you
today,
I'd
also
like
to
thank
our
staff,
specifically
our
chief
staff,
Kirsten
Vander
eye
and
Dr
Tia
Mathis
Coleman,
who
runs
our
College
savings
division
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Dr
retzel.
I
Chair
Dennis
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Kenneth
retzel,
with
the
Gwen
Center
and
I'm
just
going
to
give
you
a
quick
background
on
the
discussion
today.
First,
we're
going
to
go
over
some
data
and
methods
talk
just
very
briefly
about
the
programs
that
we
analyzed
and
then
we're
going
to
go
over
our
findings,
which
very
briefly
from
the
report
which
you
do
have
available
to
you,
which
goes
into
greater
detail.
I
I
So
I'm
going
to
we'll
go
over
the
these
big
findings,
but
do
it
very
briefly
and
I
am
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
at
the
very
end?
D
Mr,
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
Jalen
Hendricks
with
the
Gwen
center
for
the
record,
going
into
a
little
bit
of
the
background
of
the
data
and
methods
behind
this
study.
For
this
study
we
analyzed
three
different
State
financial
aid
programs,
the
first
of
those
being
the
governor
Gwynn
Millennium
Scholarship,
and
that
is
the
longest
running
program
that
we
studied
and
that
began
in
1999.
The
Nevada
promise
scholarship.
That's
most
recent.
I
And
Kenny
wrestle
for
the
record
one
quick
note
on
this
slide
in
addition
to
thanking
enchi
and
the
treasurer's
office,
I
do
want
to
give
a
special
Kudos
and
thank
you
to
Jose
Martinez
with
NC's
office,
who
actually
pulled
the
1.2
million
observations
for
us
and
set
with
me
a
number
of
times
to
help
make
sense
of
the
data.
So
thank
you
Jose.
I
So
again.
Our
first
finding
is
that
the
data
suggests
that
Nevada's
state-funded
financial
aid
programs
are
effective
at
increasing
the
percentage
of
students
that
complete
a
program
of
study
and
I
think
before
I
go
on
and
go
through
the
individual
programs
themselves.
It's
important
to
note
that
this
finding
holds
against
every
single
program
that
we
analyzed
the
three
programs
we
analyzed
as
well
as
across
two
and
four-year
institutions,
and
if
you
look
at
the
report
that
these
these
differences
that
you're
about
to
see
are
statistically
significant.
I
First
first
up
is
the
governor
Gwen,
Millennium
Scholarship,
and
so
what
you
have
here
is
two
different
charts,
one
for
two-year
institutions,
that's
on
the
left
and
one
for
four-year
institutions
on
the
right.
And
so
what
you
actually
see
here
is
is
that
at
two-year
institutions,
for
instance,
Governor
Gwen,
Millennium,
Scholarship
recipients,
outperform
non-recipients,
and
so
at
those
two-year
institutions.
The
difference
between
recipients
and
non-recipients
that
complete
a
program
of
study
is
16.6
percent
or
16.6
percentage
points.
So
you're,
seeing
a
quite
a
substantial
increase
for
those
students
who
received
the
governor,
Gwen
Millennium
Scholarship.
I
Similarly,
at
four-year
institutions,
the
difference
is
7.9,
so
recipients
receive
some
sort
of
diploma
in
a
7.9
percentage
points
higher
than
non-recipients.
The
Nevada
promise
scholarship.
This
one
is
a
little
bit
unique
and
I
won't
talk
too
much
about
it.
I
And
then
the
Silver
State
Opportunity
Grant
is
the
last
one
that
we
were
tasked
to
look
at
and
so
at
two-year
institutions.
The
actually
Silver
State,
Opportunity,
Grant
recipients,
completed
a
program
of
study.
22.2
percentage
points
greater
than
non-recipients
and
it
is
available
at
one
four-year
institution
at
Nevada,
State,
College
and
so
those
students,
those
recipients,
also
graduated
at
a
significantly
higher
rate
than
non-recipients
and
again
I,
know
I
breezed
through
that
pretty
quick,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
at
the
end.
I'm
also
welcome
you
to
look
at
the
study
itself.
I
The
cost
of
these
programs
continue
to
increase,
and
so
here
you've
got
a
a
figure
showing
that
change
in
total
costs
of
these
scholarships
from
the
2011-12
Academic
Year
to
the
20
20
21
Academic
Year,
and
you
see
that
it
has
increased
over
28
or
approximately
28
million
dollars.
It's
important
to
note
also
that
these
are
truly
scholarship
costs.
I
There's
very
little
administrative
costs
associated
with
these
programs
that
institutions
for
the
most
part
absorb
any
of
the
administrative
costs
that
are
related
to
it,
and
so
what
you're
seeing
is
actually
dollars
going
to
students
and
the
yellow
line.
The
Gray
Line
is
the
sum
of
the
three
different
programs
and
the
yellow
line
you
see
tracks
pretty
closely
to
it,
and
that
is
the
governor
Gwen,
Millennium
Scholarship,
and
so
again,
while
these
programs
work,
we
also
see
that
Inc,
the
expenses
are
continuing
to
rise
over
time.
I
And
so
with
that,
I
will
pause
for
any
questions
that
the
committee
might
have
happy
to
answer
them
and
again
remind
you
that
the
poll
report
is
available
if
you're
interested.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much
I'm
going
to
ask
members
if
they
have
any
questions.
I'll
start
it
off.
First,
a
couple
things
as
you
looked
at
this:
did
you
look
at
how
these
programs
have?
A
I
Kenneth
wrestle
for
the
record
Senator
does.
That
is
a
a
key
question.
However,
the
data
just
isn't
there
like
the
data
and
this
isn't
a
fault
of
of
NG
or
anyone
in
the
state,
but
the
decision
of
why
a
student
attends
college
is
a
very
personal
one
and
we
don't
collect
that
data
on
incoming
forms
of
like
I
decided
to
attend
college,
because
I
had
money
available
to
me.
I
The
national
literature
that
we
did
look
at
does
suggest
that
financial
aid
is
a
significant
predictor
of
a
student
going
on
to
college
and
so
I
think
it
would
be
a
fair
statement
to
suggest
that
these
scholarships
or
these
programs
do
encourage
students
to
attend
college.
However,
unfortunately,
I
can't
point
to
any
specific
Nevada
data
to
suggest
that,
however,
again
National
studies
do
suggest
that.
A
And
then
the
second
part
of
that
is,
did
you
know?
Did
you
see
because
I
there's
a
requirement
in
some
of
these
to
to
fill
out
the
FAFSA
or
an
equivalent?
Did
we
see
our
our
applications
for
FAFSA
dollars
go
up
in
Nevada
because
we
have
these
programs
in
place.
I
So
kind
of
threatful
for
the
record
Senator
Could
you
expand
out
like
because
these
programs
are
in
place.
Do
we
see
more
students
applying
for
FAFSA?
Is
that
the
the
question
right.
A
Because
I
think
when
you
know
when
we
had
a
lot
of
the
discussions
about
these
different
ones,
I
know
specifically
on
on
promise
scholarship
but
I
think
the
Silver
State
Opportunity
Grant.
We
we
talked
about
that
that
we
were
leaving
a
lot
of
dollars
on
the
table
because
kids
weren't
students
weren't
applying
for
FAFSA
and
but
they
were
eligible
and
many
of
them
thought
that
they
couldn't
go
to
to
college.
But
because
now,
if
they
apply
for
these
scholarships,
they
have
to
do
that.
I
Kenneth
wrestle
for
the
the
record
and
thank
you
for
the
clarification.
So
we
didn't
look
specifically
at
the
increase
in
FAFSA
applications.
Again,
the
FAFSA
provides
the
the
underlying
data
as
to
what
expected
family
contribution
might
be,
and
then
it
does
to
your
point.
Senator
Dennis
play
into
many
of
these
programs
themselves
as
to
how
much
a
student
might
qualify
for,
but
unfortunately
we
didn't
look
to
see
what
the
impact
might
have
been
on
the
the
submission
of
FAFSA
documents.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
the
only
reason
I
bring
these
up
is
because
I
think
that
when
we
as
we
look
to
move
forward
and
try
to
find
funding,
we
can
also
look
at
the
the
investment
that
that
we
make
is
really
bringing
us
a
lot
more
than
what
we're
putting
in
at
least
face
value,
because,
because
I
think
that
we're
getting
more
FAFSA
dollars
in
into
Nevada
now
because
kids
are
having
to
apply
for
that,
so
I
think
there's
a
you
know
some
of
these
other
benefits
that
sometimes
we
don't
think,
but
as
it
as
this
comes
up
in
the
future
for
the
legislature,
hopefully
they'll.
A
D
For
being
here,
I've
really
enjoyed
looking
at
these
materials,
a
grateful
parent
for
the
Millennium
Scholarship,
eight
children,
all
eight
recipients,
Southern
Millennium,
Scholarship
and
all
eight
college
graduates.
So
I
am
very
grateful
for
for
that
assistance.
My
children
have
had
I
did
two
things.
Would
you
just
for
the
record
and
for
those
listening
Define
program
of
study,
so
that
so
it's
clear
what
that
means?
It
doesn't
mean
degree.
I
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Kenneth
dretzel
for
the
record,
so
a
program
of
study
can
be
any
number
of
things
you
see
at
two-year
institutions
that
they
have
skill
certificates,
that
they
have
certificates
of
achievement
and
Associate's
degrees,
and
so
a
program
of
study
is
just
one
of
that.
A
student
completed
one
of
those
sorts
of
programs
whether
or
not
they
completed
six
months
or
one
semester.
Sorry
one
year,
two
years
or
receive
their
four-year
degree.
I
I
Specifically,
we
don't
know
that
a
student
would
go
in
with
the
Assumption
of
wanting
to
obtain
a
four-year
degree
but
detoured
off
and
ended
with
a
certificate
of
achievement
right
or
vice
versa,
that
they
started
out
wanting
to
just
go
for
one
semester
and
ended
up
getting
their
associate's
degree,
and
so
we
defaulted
to
if
they
received
any
sort
of
certification
that
they
could
go
out
into
the
workforce
with.
D
Thank
you
for
that
and
just
a
question
about
I
mean
these
numbers
are
very
impressive,
but
there
is
a
little
bit
of
a
disconnect,
so
the
Millennium,
the
the
Gwyn
Millennium
you're
well
over
the
50
percent
in
two-year
and
and
almost
over
60
percent
in
the
four-year
institutions
and
with
silver
state
opportunity
again
pushing
60
percent
on
the
two-year
and
54
I
think
it
is
54
on
I'm,
sorry
two
year
and
then
54
on
the
four-year.
D
But
then
we
drop
on
Nevada
promise
into
the
38
and
32
percent
range
I
I'm,
just
curious.
Why
not?
That
kind
of
I
mean
it's
still.
It's
still
helpful,
but
I'm
wondering
why
the
difference
of
of
double
digits.
I
I
Unfortunately,
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
pieces
of
data,
so
what
we
have
found
from
the
national
studies
is
is
that
financial
aid
helps
a
student
determine
whether
or
not
they
want
to
attend
college
or
if
they
can
attend
college,
and
then
their
likelihood
of
success
is
how
they
perform
in
college
or
at
a
two
or
four
year
institution.
It
also
could
be
based
on
the
the
rigor
of
their
High
School
experience
as
well,
and
so
there's
a
kind
of
a
gimmicky
line
in
there.
I
But
then
the
second
part
is
is
that
when
you
look
at
specifically
those
two
programs
that
you
suggested
as
having
high
outcomes
or
positive
outcomes,
the
governor
Gwen
Millennium
Scholarship
is
based
on
a
student's,
High,
School
academic
record,
and
so
they
have
to
perform
a
certain
level
at
a
certain
level,
at
at
high
school
and
similar
with
ssog
or
the
Silver
State
Opportunity
Grant,
those
students
have
to
be
coming
in
and
before
they
receive
the
funding,
they
have
to
be
determined
to
be
College
ready
and
whereas
the
Nevada
promise
scholarship.
I
This
is
not
critiquing
anything
about
it,
but
the
underlying
requirement
is
is
that
the
student
qualify
in
terms
of
financially
but
also
like
the
only
kind
of
academic
piece
is
that
they
have
to
know
that
they
want
to
go
to
college
fairly
early
on
and
so
you're
getting.
You
might
be
picking
up.
Some
of
that
of
actually
the
the
application
for
that
for
next
year
is
actually
coming
up
here
in
several
weeks
and
so
I
think
that's
where
you
might
be
seeing
it.
I
But
unfortunately
we
don't
have
data
out
of
the
K-12
institutions
just
to
kind
of
look
at
that
rigor
as
well
as
we
don't
didn't,
have
access
to
those
grade
level.
Details
that
are
at
the
individual
institutions,
NG
institutions
to
be
able
to
test
that
that
finding
further.
A
A
And
then-
and
secondly,
when
we
put
the
promise
scholarship,
it
was
to
try
to
attract
those
kids
that
you
know
because
they
aren't
the
valedictorians.
They
aren't
the
ones
with
the
High
gpas
to
to
allow
them
to
go
to
college
when
they
think
that
they
can't,
because
maybe
they're
greats
and
they
couldn't
get
scholarships
so
I-
think
that
you're
going
to
see
a
difference
there.
Because
of
that
also,
okay,
other
questions
yeah.
B
Thank
you,
chair,
I,
too,
have
daughters
that
were
recipients
of
these
scholarships.
The
Millennium,
Scholarship
and
I
know
many
of
their
friends.
That
was
a
factor
in
their
decision,
whether
or
not
to
attend
a
school
in
Nevada.
So
I
know
that
some
many
kids
do
make
a
decision
based
on
that,
so
very
grateful
for
these
programs.
My
question
is:
do
we
have
a
way
to
kind
of
project
and
see
if
the
costs
and
expenditures
for
these
scholarships
are
going
to
continue
to
increase
at
the
rates
that
they
have?
You
know
going
forward.
E
Thank
you
for
the
question
Treasurer
Conan
for
the
record.
Obviously,
a
number
of
features
go
into
determining
whether
or
not
the
cost
will
continue
to
increase
at
the
same
rate
such
as
the
number
of
kiddos
who
go
to
college
as
well
as
just
population
and
the
cost
of
the
cost
of
instruction,
of
course,
in
the
Millennium
Scholarship
we're
at
ten
thousand
dollars
per
student
right
so
that
doesn't
necessarily
increase
as
costs
increase.
It
just
becomes
less
effective.
E
A
A
You
know
way
of
funding
them,
but
you
know
we
needed
to
know
that
they
that
they're
accomplishing
what
they're
set
out
to
do
and
that
there's
a
value
there
so
that,
as
we
have
these
discussions
on,
how
do
we
fund
this
going
moving
forward
and
we
will
have
that
information.
So,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
for
the
report.
A
We
have
no
further
questions,
so
thank
you
very
much.
We
don't
there's
nothing
to
really
vote
on
there
other
than
you
know.
We
will
include
that
information
will
be
part
of
our
record
of
this
committee
that
has
met
some
over
the
interim.
So
thank
you
all
right.
A
We're
going
to
now
go
to
item
number
seven,
which
is
our
work
session
agenda
item,
and
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
just
explain
it
real,
quick
and
then
we're
going
to
take
a
break
for
a
minute
so
I'm
we
kind
of
broke
it
up
into
a
couple
sections
here,
as
you
look
through
the
material
it's
done
by
topic
and
then
also
at
the
very
end,
the
the
anything
that
we
talked
about.
A
That's
a
possible
bdr
is
at
the
very
end,
and
we
have
the
ability
to
do
up
to
10.
Bdrs,
also
keep
in
mind
that
we
have
the
ability
to
combine
some
of
these,
because
some
of
these
are
the
same
subject.
We
could
put
them
all
into
one
bdr.
Should
we
choose
to
do
that
and
the
first
part
of
this
are
things
that
came
up
in
our
meetings
and
I.
Think
we
had
I
can't
remember
the
number:
was
it
70,
how
many
different
recommendations?
A
We've
we've
combined,
you
know
some
of
those
we
were
able
to
combine
into
into
some
things,
and
so
we
will
look
at
those
and
those
are
done
by
topics,
and
so
what
I
intend
to
do
is
to
and
those
are
ones
that
either
we're
going
to.
We.
We
have
the
ability
to
send
a
letter
to
to
either
like
the
governor's
office
or
to
Department
of
Ed
or
to
the
legislature
and
and
say
hey.
We
looked
at
this.
A
We
think
that
you
should
take
a
look
at
this
or
we
think
you
should
do
this
or
you
know
those
kind
of
recommendations
in
the
form
of
a
letter.
In
addition
to
that,
some
of
the
items
in
that
first
part
of
that
first
list
are
also
things
that
we
could
decide
to
include
in
our
final
report
that
get
is
given
to
the
to
the
legislature
and
to
anybody
else.
That
wants
to
look
at
those
items,
and
so
what
I
will
do
is
I'll
do
each
subject.
A
They
have
anywhere
from
five
to
ten
I,
think,
probably
in
that
range
of
items
there
and
what
I
would
like
from
you
is
ones
that
you
think
that
we
should
discuss
for
possible
vote
to
to
include
either
as
a
letter
or
as
a
recommendation
and
in
this
first
section
and
so
so
we're
gonna.
A
We
will,
when
we
start
we'll
start
on
page
two
of
the
work
session
document
and
where
it
starts
at
the
top
recommendations
for
drafting
letters
and
statements
in
the
joint
interim
standing
committed
education,
final
report,
and
so
we're
going
to
start
with
that
higher
ed
one
first,
but
before
we
do
that,
I'm
going
to
take
just
like
a
three
minute
break.
A
If
you
need
to
use
restroom
or
anything
else
or
if
you
just
need
to
put
your
thoughts
together
or
bring
your
notes
together,
what
I
will
do
is
I
will
ask
the
ones
that
you
want
to
do
if
there's
some
that
we
don't
want
to
do,
then
we're
not
going
to
take
them
up.
We
will
just
we
just
won't
do
anything
on
those,
but
they'll
still
be
I
mean
they're
on
our
materials,
and
people
can
look
at
those
and
see
what
we
talked
about
in
that
respect.
So
with
that,
let's
take
a
three
minute
break.
A
Okay,
we
are
back
from
back
from
recess.
We
are
going
to
start
off
on
page
two
of
the
work
session
document
at
the
very
top
if
you'll
notice,
it
says,
relating
to
higher
education.
So
what
I
intend
to
do
is
just
do
each
section,
so
the
higher
education
section
is
on
page
two
three
and
the
number
nine
on
the
top
of
page
four
I'm
just
going
to
run
through
these
real
quick
and
then,
if
any
of
these,
you
want
to
pull
off
to
discuss
we'll
I'll
ask
for
that
from
the
members.
A
The
item
a
number
one
related
to
higher
education
is
Workforce
Development
and
you
can
read
through
there
what
that
is,
and
we
will,
if
we
decide
to
do
we'll,
we'll
get
more
details
on
that.
The
second
one
is
college
missions,
the
third
one,
that's
not
admissions,
but
the
mission
of
the
institutions
and
clarifying
that
number
three
is
Workforce.
Development
Fund,
these
are
so
far.
A
These
are
all
letters
that
we
would
send
to
the
you
can
see
who,
who
there
and
then
number
four
is
behavioral
health
personnel,
Workforce
pipeline
number,
five
Workforce
incentive,
Grant
pilot
program
and
or
and
that
one
has
a
couple
different
options.
There
number
six
would
be
Hispanic
and
minority
serving
institutions
that
would
that
one's
a
statement
that
would
go
in
our
final
reports
same
with
the
number
five
number
seven
is
on
Career
and
Technical
education.
A
So
with
that,
what
I
want
to
hear
from
from
you
from
the
members
what
which
ones
you
would
like
to
discuss
to
possibly
send-
and
some
of
these
could
be
combined
also,
but
anybody
want
to
start
off.
D
List
at
just
a
general
question:
we
talk
about
sending
letters.
Statements
from
the
committee.
Can
you
this
is
my
first
time
serving
on
the
interim
joints.
Can
you
kind
of
tell
us
what
that
entails?
I
mean
we
send
a
letter
to
superintendents
or
to
the
governor
and
then
what
what
I
mean
I
understand,
what
we're
hoping,
but
how
does
it
work
great.
A
Hey
this
committee
looked
at
this
and
we
want.
We
think
that
you
should
do
something
about
that
or
at
least
consider
something.
You
know
we
can't
tell
them
to
do
anything,
but
we
could
just
say
at
least
we
looked
at
this
issue
and
we
think
it's
important
something
you
need
to
look
at.
The
third
thing
is
to
include
it
in
our
in
our
report,
our
final
report,
so
we
could
have
a
statement
and
they're
saying
hey.
A
We
think
that
this
is
important
enough
to
put
it
in
the
final
statement,
even
though
all
of
the
things
that
we've
talked
about
are
all
part
of
the
record,
but
in
that
final
report
that
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
really
condense
all
these
things
that
we've
we've
talked
about
and
say
you
know.
We
think
that
this
needs
to
happen.
So
that's
that's
my
that's
my
explanation
of
it
now.
Let
me
ask
Steph:
is
there
did
I
cover
everything?
A
Okay,
so
that
so
that's
how
that
works.
So
if
we
think
that
you
know
that
we
need
to
do
some
of
this,
then
that's
what
that's
what
we're
doing
today,
so
so
on
on
this
higher
education
one,
do
we
have
any
of
these
that
that
feel
that
we
should
yeah
Assembly
women
built
by
actually.
G
Sort
of
piggyback
on
my
colleague
from
the
north,
for
example
the
Workforce
Development
and
I,
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
I'm
clear
on
this
as
well
so
I
in
favor
of
this,
but
because
we're
sending
it
to
the
governor
and
because
we're
sending
it
to
the
committee
on
ways
and
means
we're
kind
of
pushing
that
as
a
priority.
G
If
you
will
right
and
asking
possibly,
maybe
it
might
be
included
in
the
governor's
budget
and
that
assembly,
Ways
and
Means
might
find
the
money
for
it
is,
that
is
that
correct,
am
I
that
so
we're
pushing
a
little
bit
further
on
some
of
these,
then
we're
making
a
statement
on
some,
but
then
we're
sort
of
pushing
for
this
to
be
a
priority
on
others.
Would
that
be
a
fair
statement.
A
A
But
if
we
think
it's
really
important,
then
then
we
send
a
letter
if,
if
we,
otherwise
they
could
just
read
it
in
our
report
and
they
can
find
out
that
it's
important
so
the
things
that
we
really
want
to
say:
hey,
we
looked
at
this
and
it's
it's.
This
is
critical.
We
think
that
you
should
look
at
this.
That's
what
we
would
want
to
do,
Atlanta
for
or
include
in
in
our
final
report,
yeah
some
of
them
in
Miller.
F
Thank
you,
chair,
Dennis,
and
and
with
that
to
expand
the
conversation
that's
currently
going.
The
challenge
for
me
is
is
that
when
we're
talking
about
letters
and
setting
priorities
and
such
but
some
of
these
items,
we've
actually
already
passed
into
law.
F
So
when
we've
already
and
we've
discussed
them
session
after
session,
you
know
we're
talking
about
dual
credit
pilot
programs,
we're
talking
about
competency-based
education,
there's,
so
many
of
these
items
that
have
already
been
passed
into
law.
So
in
that
case,
can
the
nature
of
these
letters
change
into
more
compliance
expectation,
because
we're
not
saying
we
support
this
we've
passed
this
we've
created
these
laws
but
they're
not
in
often
in
many
cases
being
complied
with
or
with
full
Fidelity.
F
A
So,
yes,
and-
and
that
also
brings
up
another
Point-
we
can
change
these.
Also
right
I
mean,
if
there's
one,
that
we
think
it's
really
important,
but
maybe
what
we
have
here
is
not
what
we
want,
or
maybe
there's
some
additional
things
we
want
to
add.
For
example,
you
know
you
gave
the
example
of
the
Dual
credit.
We've
already
done,
some
things
on
Dual
credit
and
we
might
want
to
say
Hey.
You
know,
we've
we've
we've
already
passed
this.
A
We
think
that
you
know
you
need
to
really
look
at
this
because
we've
passed
this
and
it
needs
to
go
so
yeah.
So
that's
a
that's
a
good
point
and
there
might
be
some
things
that
maybe
we
didn't
put
in
here
and
got
left
off,
and
you
want
to
amend
that
in.
We
can
also
have
that
discussion.
A
Part
of
this
is
to
have
a
discussion
about
the
ones
we
think
are
important.
We
still
may
end
up
saying
we
don't
need
to
send
a
letter
for
that.
Maybe
there's
a
different
thing
we
can
do,
but
but
we
could
at
least
have
that
discussion
and
and
so
right
now
what
I'm
asking
is.
G
I
I
was
just
saying,
I,
I,
think
all
of
these
letters
and
statements
are
are
valid
and
I
think
we
should
move
forward
with
all
of
them
I'm
and
then
to
my
my
colleague's
point
on
some
of
them
just
really
pushing
the
fact
that
they've
already
been
passed
into
the
lawn
we
need
compliance.
Is
that
that's
a
further
on
conversation
right.
A
That
would
be
part
of
the
discussion
that
we
have
so
so
okay.
So
since
you,
you
would
like
to
look
at
all
of
these.
Let's,
why
don't
we
move
forward
we'll
we
can
do
these
and
I'll
have
staff
go
through
and
then
once
we
do,
one
you'll
kind
of
get
a
feel
for
what
we're
talking
about
and
then
and
then,
as
we
move
forward.
E
A
Might
not
want
to
do
all
of
them
on
all
the
rest
of
them,
but
you
might
want
to
right,
as
we
do
that
so
so,
let's,
let's
with
this
section,
why
don't
we
do
that
I'm
going
to
have
our
staff
go
through
through
that
and
we've
got
Miss
drostoff?
Who
will
walk
us
through
these?
So
if
you
want
to
start
with
A1.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
I'm,
Alex,
strasdoff
committee
policy,
analyst
with
the
legislative
Council
bureau's
research,
Division
and
as
non-partisan
legislative
staff.
I
can
neither
support
nor
oppose
any
proposal
that
comes
before
the
legislature.
This
work
session
document
has
copies
available
at
both
locations
and
it
has
been
posted
as
an
exhibit
to
the
committee's
website
under
agenda
item
6..
A
G
A
Is
there
any
any
further
discussion
on
I
mean?
Is
there
anything
you
want
to
change
about
this
or
any
other
concerns
about
sending
a
letter,
yeah
Senator,
Don,
derolube.
C
A
A
Not
yet
no
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we
have
to
do
each
one
I
mean
we
could
have
a
discussion
and
then
do
a
blanket
thing
on
the
letter.
We
can
do
each
one
individually,
but
yeah
she'll
she'll
read
each
one
and
we
could
wait
till
we
get
to
the
and
then
just
do
a
thing
to
approve
all
of
them
if
we
want.
But
let's
do
this
one
first
and
then
we'll
go
from
there.
So
other
discussion
on
this
specific
one
section,
A1,
Workforce,
Development,.
A
So,
okay,
so
I'm,
assuming
that
everybody's
okay
with
it.
Otherwise
it
would
be
saying
they
have
issues
right.
Okay,
so
let's
I
think:
let's
try
this
we'll
just
go
through
each
one
and
then
we'll
just
do
one
blank
one
at
the
end,
so
we
don't
have
to
vote
on
each
one
individually
unless
there
are
ones
that
we
have
issues
with
and
then
we'll
pull
those
so
so,
let's
go
to
to
then
let's
move
to
the
next
one
item:
A2
College
missions.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
Alex,
drozdoff
recommendation
A2
is
to
send
a
letter
to
the
NC
Chancellor,
urging
entry
to
clarify
the
missions
of
two
and
four-year
colleges,
including,
but
not
limited,
to
aligning
service
zones
to
reflect
Nevada's
economic
geography,
elevating
Great,
Basin
College
to
a
full,
four-year
status
and
deterring
Mission
creep.
Mr
chair.
A
C
C
A
To
have
Mr
Killian.
J
Thank
you,
Mr
chair
Asher,
Killian
committee
Council.
So
looking
back
at
Mr
damore's
presentation,
it
looks
like
slide
number
10
on
his
presentation,
discusses
this
issue
and
there
there
are
a
couple
slides
before
the
touch
on
it
as
well.
J
But
it
seems
like
the
the
point
that
he
was
getting
at
was
that
there
are
particular
economically
important
areas
in
the
state
that
have
ties
and
can
be
separated
into
different
zones,
and
the
idea
seemed
to
be
that
each
Community
College
in
the
state
should
be
focusing
on
providing
services
to
one
of
those
particular
economic
zones,
so
kind
of
realigning
the
service
areas
from
instead
of
serving
necessarily
just
the
neighborhoods
around
them
to
serving
the
economic
zones
that
they
are
located
in
I.
C
Unfortunately,
not
because
because,
as
you
read
on
it
says,
elevating
Great
Basin
College
to
a
full,
four-year
status
and
deterring
Mission
creep,
I
I
just
don't
feel
like
I
I.
Just
personally
don't
feel
like
it's
real,
clear
and
maybe
I'm
the
only
one
that
feels
this
way.
I
don't
know
I
just
don't
feel
like
it's
real
clear
and
it's
not
I
understand
reaching
out,
but
my
concern
would
be
I,
don't
know
like
in
in
Washoe
County
and
Las
Vegas,
both
Clark
County.
We
have
many.
C
We
have
many
too
and
and
for
your
college
opportunities.
And
so
how
would
you
keep
that?
How
would
you
do
that?
Economic
geography?
C
You
know
where
you
have
Great
Basin.
There
isn't
a
slew
of
neighboring
universities
or
colleges
where
in
Clark,
County
and
I
mean
we've
got
TMCC
a
stone's
throw
from
UNR.
We
have
you
know
Community
College
of
Southern
Nevada
and
Nevada
State
College,
which
is
on
the
docket
to
be
Nevada
State
University
in
a
stone
throw
from
UNLV.
So
how
are
you
going
to
align
that.
A
So
the
way
I
understand
that
what
this
letter
would
do
is
basically
say
to
clarify
what
is
the
mission
of
those
particular
institutions.
So
if
you've
got
several
like
in
Clark
County,
the
Clark
County
is
part
of
that
service
Zone.
That
has
certain
economic
things
that
are
going
on
so
their
institutions.
The
mission
would
include
that,
whereas
you
know
the
mission
like
you
mentioned,
Great
Basin
great
basins
might
be
specifically
to
whatever
that
economic
driver.
So
let's
say
it's
mining.
A
You
know
we
might
have
several
things
that
we,
you
know
were
working
on,
which
would
include
like
Health
Care,
maybe
gaming,
or
you
know
those
kinds
of
things
you
know
so
I
think
that
that's
what
he
was
talking
about
when
he
was
talking
about
this,
that
that
just
to
clarify
whose
mission
you
know
so
you
wouldn't
have,
for
example,
Southern
Nevada
necessarily
doing
a
bunch
of
things
on
mining
when
most
of
that
economic
stuff
is
happening
in
the
northern
part.
C
A
C
My
concern
is:
is
that
if
I'm
in
Elko
and
I'm
going
to
Great,
Basin
I
may
want
to
be
a
health
care
provider
and
they
also
need
health
care
providers
there
or
I
may
be
in
Las,
Vegas
and
I
may
want
to
go
into
mining,
so
I
don't
want
to
distinguish
to
tightly
and
then
end
up
with
students
not
being
able
to
achieve
what
they
need
to
achieve
in
that
specific
spot.
A
So
the
way
I
would
look
at
it
is
that
the
institutions
would
have
input
into
what
they
you
know
like,
because
I
agree
with
you,
you
know
Healthcare
is
needed
everywhere
in
the
rural
areas
as
well.
So
I
would
think
that
that
would
be
part
of
their
need
for
that
area,
but
I
I
think
if
I
remember
right
when
Dr
damore
was
speaking,
is
that
he
was
just
basically
saying
that
it's
just
unclear
now
what
the
mission
of
the
institutions
are
and
are
they
you
know?
A
Are
they
doing
some
things
that
really
don't
aren't
to
the
benefit
of
the
economic
area
and
so
I.
C
A
So
we
do
have
I,
don't
know
if
he's
still
there
but
down
in
Las
Vegas.
We
have
the
chancellor
I,
don't
know
if
he
wants
to
come
up
and
maybe
speak
to
that.
A
Even
though
this
wasn't
necessarily
something
that
came
from
energy,
we
would
be,
this
would
be
something
that
we
would
be
sending
them.
Can
Rudy
and
is,
is
chancellor,
does
he
happen
still
be
there.
A
Oh
there
you
go:
okay,
okay,
hey
good
afternoon,
you
kind
of
been
hearing
this
discussion.
What's
your
thoughts
on
this
I
mean
obviously
we're
talking
about
sending
you
a
letter,
but
it
is
an
important
discussion
and
I
think
that
apologies.
E
Through
you
to
the
senator
and
to
the
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
I'm
Dale
erkiaga
and
the
acting
Chancellor
of
the
Nevada
system
of
higher
education,
I
appreciate
the
question.
Senator,
Loop
and
I
understand
your
confusion
and
let
me
Begin
by
saying
I
would
be
happy
to
receive
a
letter
from
this
committee,
so
nothing
that
I
say
after
that
should
be
construed
in
any
other
way.
I
think
what
is
at
issue.
I
Here
are
a
couple
of
things,
probably
a
couple
of
things
at
issue.
E
There
was
a
time
in
the
not
too
distant
past
when
the
Nevada
system
of
higher
education
had
sort
of
attendance
zones
for
lack
of
a
better
term
where
institutions
primarily
served
certain
population
areas.
The
regions
changed
that
some
years
ago.
So,
though
those
lines
no
longer
exist,
sometimes
I
hear
folks
say
they
wish.
Those
lines
were
still
clearer.
That
students
who
are
here
ought
not
go
there
and
vice
versa.
We
believe
that
all
the
institutions
in
the
Nevada
system
of
higher
education
serve
the
entire
State
and
to
your
point.
E
Students
ought
choose
where
they
wish
to
go
and
we
ought
do
our
best
to
provide
commensurate
programs
and
degrees
for
their
choice.
This
specific
report
and
I
cannot
speak
for
the
professor
from
UNLV,
but
I
have
read
the
report.
I
think
that,
as
that
issue
talks
about
three
economic
zones
in
the
state
and
that
those
zones
do
have
certain
industries
or
business
types
that
are
principally
the
the
work
of
those
Geographic
zones
and
so
I
think
what
this
is
getting
about
is
some
of
the
question.
E
I
would
represent
to
you
that
that
that's
a
perfectly
acceptable
request
of
the
system
and
that
we
would
still
ensure
that
we're
meeting
all
the
needs
of
the
community,
even
though
in
perhaps
rural
Nevada,
where,
as
you
know,
Senator
and
Mr
chairman,
where
I
was
born,
we
might
not
have
a
particular
economic,
a
business
that
leads
the
way
there,
but
we
might
aspire
to
participate
in
it
as
a
young
person
and
so
I
think
it
would
be
our
job
if
this
letter
were
to
be
sent
to
us
to
sort
of
balance,
both
the
needs
of
the
community
and
the
clear
needs
of
the
states
growing
economy
as
it
continues
to
diversify
so
I'm
happy
to
receive
the
letter.
E
I
think
we
could
work
through
the
details
of
the
letter
without
any
adverse
circumstances
and
I
appreciate
the
suggestor's
intent
about
Mission
Clarity.
We
we
have
renamed
institutions.
As
you've
noted.
There
is
an
institution
proposing
a
name
change
next
week,
and
so
those
things
should
cause
us
all
to
think
about
the
the
distinct
Mission
we
have
R1
universities
today,
which
is
not
something
we
had
in
my
day.
So
I
think
the
letter
is
well
intended
and
we
would
be
I
think
both
able
and
pleased
to
comply,
I
hope
that
helps.
C
C
And
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
students
who
wanted
to
learn
about
fire
safety
that
could
go
to
TMCC
and
could
also
go
to
Great
Basin
and
could
also
go
to
community
or
College
of
Southern.
Nevada
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
weren't
specifying
the
lines
so
strict
that
we
couldn't
cross
over
because
in
this
state
we
need
we
need
and
want
and
and
encourage
all
students
to
do
the
best
they
can
some
moving.
E
A
F
Thank
you,
chair,
Dennis,
I,
I'm
still
conflicted
along
the
same
reasons.
My
colleague
was
again.
It
seems
that
you
know
we
really
need
to
mature
in
Nevada
when
it
comes
to,
especially
our
higher
ed
and
working
in
silos
is,
is
not
the
way
to
do
it.
I've
never
heard
of
you
know.
States
talking
about
this
college
serves
these
kids,
and
this
is
for
this
area.
F
It
needs
to
be
that
we
are
one
state
and
we're
going
to
serve
all
of
our
students
with,
and
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
and-
and
there
are
two
different
missions
between
a
four-year
College,
a
university
and
a
two-year
College
Community
College,
and-
and
we
can't
leave
it's
not
just
about
filling
jobs
there.
It's
also
an
academic
and
a
research
component
as
well,
and
two-year
colleges
generally
already
have
that
flexibility
to
respond
to
those
economic
and
Workforce
needs.
A
Do
we
want
to
have
staff
that
can
I
mean
I
could
give
the
quick
version
Mission
creep,
I
I
would
think
would
be,
or
you
have
one
institution
you
know
that's
that
would
that's
focusing
on
like,
for
example,
mining
you
got
UNR,
that's
doing
Mining
and
then
also
UNLV
decides
they
want
to
do
mining.
D
F
Back
because
I
know
often
in
work
sessions,
we
forget
we're
we're
just
talking
about
letters
and
possible
drafts,
we're
not
voting
we're
not
setting
policy
and
laws,
but
just
for
the
intention.
You
know
we're
in
a
state
where
we
only
have
one
law
school.
We
only
have
you
know
we're
now
getting
other
medical
schools
and
stuff,
and
that's
not
what
really
produces
a
a
thriving
economy
or
state.
So
if
we
had
two
universities
offering,
you
know
mining
what's
wrong
with
that.
Why
and
why
are
we
competing
amongst
each
other
and
I
guess?
A
And
I
think
if
I
remember,
Dr,
damore's
presentation
was
all
that
that,
because
of
limited
funding
that
sometimes
you
have
to
focus
your
you
know
some
things
in
certain
areas,
not
that
you
want
to
limit
anybody
from
doing
anything
and
as
I
think
we've
already
had
this
discussion.
I,
don't
think
this
is
not
saying
that
we
would
only
want
you
know
this
institution
to
do
these
things,
but
the
the
their
mission
would
include
an
emphasis
on
that
particular
thing.
Would
they
happen
to
be
an
economic
driver
in
that
area?
I!
A
Think
that's
what
but
I
agree
with
you.
What
we're
talking
about
here
is
a
letter
we
don't
I
mean
we
don't
even
have
to
do
it,
but
so
anyway,
so
that's
that
I
think
we
have
something
from
71,
Bill,
Ray,
Axelrod.
G
The
idea
was
in
slide
number
six,
that
I
know
that
Asher
just
sent
us
around
his
presentation
and
it
really
does
talk
about
those
metropolitan
areas
instead
of
us
thinking
of
North
and
South,
which
is
what
we
have
done
for
years
and
years
and
years.
Basically
since
Nevada
was
created,
was
this
north
and
south.
And
if
you
look
at
this,
it's
just
so
striking
to
me
that
you
look
and
you
see
that
where,
where
we
are
in
Carson,
City
is
further
west
than
Los
Angeles
and
so
their
area
really.
G
If
you
want
to
learn
about
mining
you
should
you
could
be
able
to
learn
about
money,
you're,
never
going
to
learn
about
mining
in
Las
Vegas,
the
way
you're
going
to
learn
about
mining
in
Elko.
You
just
I
mean
that's.
Why
we
go
on
those
tours.
So
that
was
the
idea,
but
I
don't
think
we
need
to
and-
and
thank
you
interim
Chancellor
but
I
I
was
just
so
passionate
about
this,
so
I'm
glad
we
were
able
to
and
I
don't
know
if
we
could
include
this.
G
This
picture
in
the
in
our
record,
but
I
think
this
is
an
important
factor.
A
I
think
all
these
reports
are
part
of
the
record
of
all
of
our
meetings.
So
definitely
so
so
the
question
is:
do
we
want
to
send
a
letter?
Yeah
I,
don't
hear
anybody
saying?
No,
so
we're
going
to
move
to
the
next
one.
Hopefully
we
like
and
and
I
I
want
us
to
have
robust
discussion,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
we
also
get
done
on
time
today.
So
so,
let's
go
to
the
next
one,
which
is
Workforce
Development
Fund.
H
Recommendation
A3
is
to
send
a
letter
to
the
governor,
the
senate
committee
on
finance
and
the
assembly
committee
on
ways
and
means
of
the
2023
legislative
session,
encouraging
the
creation
of
a
Workforce
Development
Fund.
That
requires
matching
contributions
from
industrial
partners
that
are
aligned
with
regional
Economic
Development
priorities,
furthermore,
encourage
the
governor,
Senate
finance
and
assembly
Ways
and
Means
to
Grant
the
governor's
office
of
Economic
Development,
the
authority
to
carry
forward
unspent
Workforce
dollars.
Mr
chair.
A
A
H
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair,
strasdoff
recommendation
A4
is
to
send
a
letter
to
the
governor,
Senate,
finance
and
assembly
Ways
and
Means
of
the
2023
session,
encouraging
increased
funding
for
higher
education,
training
programs
and
expanding
the
pipeline
development
for
school-based
behavioral
health
personnel.
Mr
chair.
A
Thank
you.
So
this
one
was
recommended
by
Jessica
shearin,
president
of
the
Nevada
social
school
psychologist.
You
know
we
had
several
presentations
on
the
importance
of
that
and
you
know
we
can
a
lot
of
times.
We
talk
about
yeah,
we
need
to
do
this
right
and
but
we
don't
have
the
workforce,
and
so
this
is
one
of
those
things.
That's
encouraging
that
Workforce.
So
any
questions,
yes,
some
of
them
in
Hanson.
D
Thank
you,
chair,
Dennis,
I'm,
actually,
just
a
comment,
I'm
supportive
of
sending
the
letter,
but
you
know
we're
encouraging
increased
funding
for
higher
education
training
programs
to
expand
this
pipeline
I.
As
I
recall
the
discussion
and
I'm
I'm
kind
of
personally
familiar
with
this
having
a
daughter
who
did
a
Master's
in
psychology
I,
don't
know
that
we
fully
got
the
answer.
I,
don't
know
necessarily
as
a
funding
issue
as
much
as
it's
a
getting
people
into
the
program.
D
It's
a
very
a
heavy
lift
the
clinical
hours
required
so
I'm
almost
wondering
if
I
I
support
sending
the
letter,
but
just
for
our
our
thought
processes.
Sometimes
it's
a
matter
of
what
are
the
requirements.
Maybe
that
needs
to
be
examined.
Are
we
making
this
so
onerous
that
people
are
deterred
from
these
programs?
D
Therefore,
limiting
how
many
professionals
we
have
in
school
psychologists
or
just
in
mental
health
professionals
in
general,
so
I
I
just
question:
is
it
a
funding
problem
or
is
it
a
very
heavy
onerous
program
at
the
University,
the
level
that
does
deter
and
do
we
re-examine
what
those
requirements
are
and-
and
hopefully
it
wouldn't
give
us
a
less
quality
product
I
think
those
are
conversations
that
need
to
be
looked
at
as
far
as
the
coursework,
just
just
my
thoughts.
Thank
you
yeah
and.
A
I,
don't
I
mean
this
doesn't
limit
to
that
part
of
it
either.
This
is
just
looking
at
the
one
I
mean
when
they
have
come
and
talked
to
us
before.
They've
talked
about
that
funding
is
one
of
those
issues
so
that
they
can
offer
more
scholarships
and
things
that
entice
people
to
to
do
that.
But
I
would
hope
with
all
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
over
the
last
few
years,
that
also,
if
there's
other
roadblocks,
that
we
figure
out
ways
to
get
rid
of
those
roadblocks.
F
Thank
you,
chair,
Dennis
and,
along
with
my
colleague,
one
of
the
another
roadblock
and,
and
this
will
be
consistent
for
everything
in
higher
ed
and
K
through
12.,
any
pipeline
issue
that
we
discuss
without
talking
about
increased
salary,
because
the
amount
of
money
that
a
psychologist
can
make
outside
of
the
school
the
amount
of
money
that
a
nurse
can
make
outside
of
the
school
and
and
again
that
teachers
compared
to
other
professions
where
often
teachers
have
actually
more
degrees
and
and
more
education.
F
So
again,
if
we're
not
talking
about
working
conditions
and
increased
salary,
all
of
that
needs
to
be
included
in
in
all
of
this
that
we're
talking
about.
So
it's
not
just
having
the
funding.
It's
not
just
the
curriculum
or
the
program
that
the
students
are
going
through.
The
question
starts
at:
why
don't
we
have
more
people
trying
to
enter
those
programs
because
they're
not
trying
to
enter
those
professions
because
they
see
those
chat
of
the
financial
and
the
working
condition
burdens
in
the
challenges
I'd.
F
A
Okay,
let's
go
on
to
the
next
one
unless
there's
further
discussion
or
anybody
not
want
to
pull
that
one
off.
Okay,
the
number
five
Workforce
incentive
grants.
H
Extra
stuff
recommendation
A5
on
page
three
of
the
packet,
is
to
include
a
statement
in
the
committee's
final
report,
indicating
its
support
for
the
workforce,
incentive,
Grant
pilot
program,
a
need-based
program
attracting
students
to
participate
in
critical
Workforce
programs,
including
teaching
programs
and
other
occupations,
and
or
send
a
letter
to
the
Angie
Chancellor
requesting
a
presentation
to
the
2023-2024
committee
on
education.
Regarding
its
report
on
the
wig
program,
including
various
key
metrics
Mr
chair.
A
G
A
Anybody
not
agree
with
that.
Okay,
let's
move
on
to
the
next
one
and
we'll
do
a
and
b
number
six
Hispanic
minority
institutions.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
Alex
strasdoff
recommendation
A6
is
to
include
a
statement
in
the
committee's
final
report
indicating
its
support
for
the
continuous
development
and
success
of
Nevada's
Hispanic,
serving
institutions
and
minority
serving
institutions,
and
to
continue
to
improve
Student
Success
initiatives
and
Partnerships
in
these
areas.
Mr
chair.
E
H
Specifically,
this
study
should
investigate
nil
issues
relating
but
not
limited
to
resources
and
Personnel
at
junior
colleges
and
funding
and
opportunities
for
nil
deals
for
junior
college
student
athletes.
If
such
a
study
is
conducted
and
she
may
submit
a
report
of
the
results
of
the
study,
including
any
recommendations
for
legislation
to
the
committee
on
education
on
or
before,
June
30th
2024.
Mr,
chair.
A
Okay,
so
this
one
was,
we
had
a
committee
that
actually
looked
at
these
issues,
and
this
is
one
of
the
things
that
they
thought
was
that
maybe
didn't
get
looked
at
as
much
because
we
kind
of
tend
to
focus
on
the
four
years.
She's
got
the
big
Sports
programs
and
things,
but
are
you
okay
with
that?
A
It
was
just
also
a
name
image
and
likeness
Nevada's
gaming
industry.
This
one
was
also
from
the
committee.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
Alex,
drozdoff
recommendation
A9
is
to
send
a
letter
to
the
gaming
control
board
and
the
gaming
commission
urging
the
Border
commission
to
conduct
a
study
concerning
nil
implications
for
the
gaming
industry
in
Nevada.
Specifically,
the
study
May
investigate
what,
if
any
possibilities
exist
for
nil
deals
between
student
athletes
and
the
gaming
industry.
The
study
may
also
investigate
the
possibility
of
deals
with
student
athletes
as
brand
agents,
among
other
deals
and
the
implications
of
such
deals.
H
A
Thank
you.
This
is
probably
one
of
the
few
times
you'll
ever
see
this
committee
sending
a
letter
to
the
gaming
commission
I,
don't
know
that
we've
ever
done
that,
but
but
it's
an
interesting
issue
that
you
know
we
haven't
had
to
deal
with
this
before,
because
this
is
a
whole
new
issue.
That's
you
know,
and
there's
Federal
stuff
coming
out
also
Federal
legislation
and
regulations
that
they're
talking
about
so
any
everybody,
okay
with
this
one,
okay.
G
A
A
And
six
19
different
or
number
10
through
19
that
talks
about
each
one
different.
So
is
there
any
of
these
specifically
or
specifically,
that
you
would
talk
like
to
maybe
it'll
be
easier
to
say?
Is
there
any
of
these?
You
don't
want
to
that.
You
don't
think
we
need
to
support
or
send
a
letter
or
whatever
it's
it's
and
actually
let
me
go
through
them.
Real,
quick.
First
one
is
10
social,
emotional
learning.
Mental
health
supports
number
11
with
school
psychologists.
A
So
any
any
of
these
that
we
don't
want
to
consider.
A
Okay,
let's
go
to
the
question:
senator
I'm,
sorry,
assemblyman
Miller
thank.
F
You
chair
Dennis,
because
the
questions
will
help
the
decision
so
I
just
want
to.
Are
we
going
to
go
through
read
each
letter?
Are
we
still
going
to
go
through
that
process?
Read
each
the
definition
of
each
letter,
because
I
just
have
two
brief
questions
about
two
of
the
different
letters.
If.
A
Question
we'll
go
through
yeah:
okay,
we'll
go
through.
So
if
there's
any
of
these
that
you
don't
think
we
need
to
then
we'll
okay,
because
I
mean
there
might
be
some
that
we
just
don't
want
to
consider
at
some
point.
But
if,
let's
so
with
that,
then
let's
just
go
to
10B
social,
emotional
learning
and
mental
health
supports.
A
H
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
Alex,
strasdoff
recommendation
b11
is
to
include
a
statement
in
the
final
report,
encouraging
the
expansion
of
additional
graduate
training
programs
in
school
psychology
to
support
the
expansion
of
the
number
of
school
psychology,
training
programs
and
the
number
of
licensed
and
trained
School
psychologists
in
Nevada.
Furthermore,
the
committee
supports
the
expansion
of
evidence-based
mental
health
and
wellness
programs,
including
programs
relating
to
the
prevention
of
mental
health
crises.
Mr
chair.
F
Thank
you,
chair,
Dennis,
I,
I,
do
have
a
question
on
this
when
it
comes
to
the
truancy,
I
mean
first
of
all,
at
least
in
the
public
schools.
The
families
are
being
notified
of
truancy,
I
mean
literally
people
go
to
their
school,
go
to
their
homes.
We
have
current
officers
that
go
so
it's
not
that
families
aren't
notified
of
chronically
absent
pupils,
but
my
question
is:
it
says:
working
with
a
local
Chamber
of
Commerce
to
solicit
support
from
employers,
so
that
could
go
a
few
different
ways.
F
Could
you
tell
me
which
direction
and
how
it
would
be
it's
specified?
Are
we
looking
for
businesses
to
help
support
families?
Like
you
know,
often
students?
You
know
when
the
same
students
20
minutes
late
to
school
every
single
day.
That's
because
that's
the
time
they're
getting
dropped
off
at
school
or
they're
an
hour
late,
every
single
day.
So
are
we
looking
at
asking
business
to
accommodate
work
schedules
so
that
parents
can
get
the
kids
to
school,
or
are
we
looking
at
this
as
a
punitive
means?
A
So
just
keep
in
mind
that
this
is
just
an
example
of
something
that
that
they're
saying
that
this
is
an
example
of
something
that
could
be
that
they
could
do
as
opposed
to,
because
the
letter
itself
would
be
just
ways
to
address
chronic
absenteeism.
But
then
it
gives
an
example
because
I
think
that's
what
they
gave
when
they
gave
the
presentation.
A
So
we
do
I
think
this
came
from
the
Association
of
school
superintendents
and
as
that
Miss
Brzezinski.
Is
that
something
that
you
brought
you
kind
of
heard?
What
the
question
was.
Is
that
something
you
can
answer.
E
E
Of
school,
superintendents
I
think
your
understanding
is
the
same
it.
This
was
an
example
of
what
might
work
in
some
communities
and
it
wasn't
necessarily
a
statement
that
every
District
had
to
work
with
their
Chamber
of
Commerce,
because
it's
it's
different
in
every
district,
with
a
chronically
absent,
so
I.
G
E
D
Chair
Dennis,
thank
you
for
being
at
the
table,
so
I
can
ask
this
question.
My
understanding
or
my
interpretation
of
maybe
the
mention
of
Chamber
of
Commerce
would
be
maybe
there's
some
incentive
programs
that
businesses
would
offer
to
students
if
they
attend
school.
If
they
are
there
a
certain
percentage,
they
could
get
a
free
pizza
or
they
could.
That
was
what
my
take
was
on
it,
but
please
correct
me:.
E
Know
part
of
the
absentee
issue
is
important
to
Chamber
of
Commerce,
and
so
the
depending
on
what
the
community
is
Chamber
of
Commerce
is
something
that
people
should
be
looking
at,
and
schools
should
be
looking
at
either
as
an
incentive,
or
it
may
take
a
a
different
route.
If
there
are
certain
businesses.
E
A
Actually
I
could
think
of
some
other
I
I.
Remember
High
School
in
Vegas
I
think
it
was
Clark
High
School.
They
actually
worked
with
the
businesses
around
the
neighborhood,
where
kids
were
hanging
out
instead
of
being
in
class,
and
the
businesses
helped
them
to
try
to
get
those
kids
into
class.
So
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
different
things
that
could
be
done
there
in
that
respect.
Other
questions
on
this
one
all
right.
A
A
C
Thank
you
very
much
chair.
Since
we
have
somebody
from
Department
of
Ed
from
this
this
area.
Could
we
just
have
some
clarification
as
to
if
we
have
any
of
this
in
place.
A
Yeah
I'll
also
note
that
I
mean
if
we
do
need
the
department.
The
department
is
actually
online
also
if
we
need
them
at
some
point
in
all
of
this
yeah.
But
if
there's
somebody
here
definitely
love
to
have
you
come
forward.
A
Great
thank
you.
Senator
buck.
B
Thank
you,
chair,
Dennis
I
was
just
wondering.
Is
this
a
curriculum
that
would
go
into
every
student's
curriculum,
or
would
it
be
more
a
need
based
curriculum.
A
I
think
in
the
presentation
that
was
given
to
us
could
be
wrong,
but
I
was
thinking
that
this
was
something
similar
to
what
we've
done
like
with
the
financial,
where
every
student
would
have
some
kind
of
curriculum
when
it
comes
to
help.
You
know
coping
skills
and
recognizing
unhealthy
ones
and
those
kind
of
things
not
positive,
but
I
think
that
that's
what
he
he
was
suggesting,
and
of
course
this
would
be.
A
B
A
Yeah
so
I
think
and
I
think
yeah
I
think
we
can
I
think
that
we
can
definitely
craft
that
into
whatever
the
letter
and
I
would
say
that
the
statement
that
would
go
in
would
talk
about
supporting
proposed
mental
health,
Wellness
curriculum.
It
doesn't
necessarily
mean
we
have
to
create
new
curriculum,
but
they
could.
You
know
the
curriculum.
You
know
some
type
of
curriculum
that
could
be
taught
to
students
that
that
would
help
them.
In
this
issue
of
learning
to
help
you
know
healthy
ways
to
cope
with.
You
know
with
issues
other
questions.
A
G
Yes,
I
will
make
the
motion
that
I
we
recommend.
Let
me
get
this
right
section
B
relating
to
health
and
safety,
all
things
10,
11,
12
and
13..
A
We
have
a
motion
from
someone
building,
second
from
Senator
John,
Darrell
Loop,
and
that
would
include
either
statement
in
our
final
report,
I
think
all
or
a
letter
I
think
most
of
these
were
statements,
but
yes,
okay,
further
discussion
on
the
motion,
all
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed
saying
a
okay
motion
carries
okay.
Now
we're
gonna
go
to
section
c
relating
to
pupils.
A
J
H
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
Alex
strasdoff
recommendation
c14
on
page
five
of
the
packet
is
to
include
a
statement
in
the
committee's
final
report
supporting
the
following
actions
to
help
reduce
achievement.
Gaps
in
K-12
for
pupils
in
the
Hispanic
community
recruit
and
retain
diverse
teachers.
Improve
food
security,
provide
additional
resources
to
close
the
remote
learning,
Gap
support
family
friendly
immigration
policies
and
promote
Fair
scheduling,
Mr
chair.
F
Thank
you,
chair
I,
have
questions
on
support,
family
fem,
family,
friendly
immigration
policies,
I
mean,
obviously
those
are
federal
and
the
schools
now
don't
participate
in
in
any
immigration
issues.
Right
now,
so
I
would
like
some
clarification
on
that
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
you
know.
Schools
are
not
reporting
students
and
families
and
such,
but
it
is
a
challenge
because
we
also
have
families
who
don't
fill
out
free
and
reduce
lunch
forms
or
FAFSA
forms,
because
they
do.
They
are
concerned
about
immigration
and,
of
course,
so
that
so
that's
a
concern.
A
Okay,
I'll
talk
first
on
item
D
support
family
from
the
immigration
policy.
I
remember
this
is
including
a
statement
in
our
final
report.
So
for
the
legislature
and
many
times
we
can
influence
our
federal
counterparts
and
when
they're
working
on
immigration.
So
really
this
is
just
saying
a
statement
that
we
we
think
that
that
there
needs
to
be
more
family-friendly
immigration
policies
as
they
work
on
them
and
be
able
to
support
those
kinds
of
things
so
I,
that's
I,
think
what
she
was
saying
there.
D
Thank
you
chair
and
my
colleague
assembly
woman
Miller
covered
a
couple
of
the
ones
and
did
you
say
we're
going
to
come
back
to
Fair
scheduling,
yeah
the
improving
food
security?
Absolutely
I,
you
know,
I
have
a
sister-in-law
that
teaches
in
Clark,
County
and
and
we've
talked
about
this.
You
know
kids
come
to
school
hungry,
but
I
was
curious
because
I'm
kind
of
out
of
the
loop
on
all
the
food
services,
I
thought
I
know
some
schools
do
provide
breakfast
lunch
and
dinner
am
I
wrong
on
that.
A
B
Thank
you,
chair,
Dennis
I
was
just
wondering
why
our
black
community
was
not
involved
in
or
included
in
this,
our
poor
White
Community.
A
So,
keep
in
mind
that
this
was
from
a
presentation
from
Dr,
Magdalena,
Martinez
and
I
believe
she
was
talking
specifically
on
needs
in
the
Hispanic
Community.
It's
it's!
So
that's
the
only
reason
that
these
these
are
specifically
their
their.
That
doesn't
mean
we
can't
add
those.
But
that's
why
yeah
go
ahead.
Senator
debug.
B
Thank
you,
chair
Dennis,
just
a
quick
follow-up!
Yes,
because
one
in
10
black
males
are
not
proficient
I,
mean
and,
and
so
I
think
that
we
should
add
to
this
as
opposed
to
just
isolating
one
community.
E
H
E
E
Mentioned
the
when
she
said,
promoted,
Fair
SK,
promoting
Fair
scheduling
she
said,
particularly
that
there
are,
it
was
referenced
in
the
report.
The
ambiguity.
J
D
Some
of
the
discussion
is,
is
leading
me
to
wonder
if,
if
we
are
being
too
narrow
in
the
focus
of
the
community
and
from
my
for
a
lot
of
my
concern
over
this
interim
and
just
serving
on
education
in
the
regular
sessions,
there's
a
gap
period,
there
there's
a
learning
Gap
across
the
board
in
the
state
and
I
quote
it
almost
every
meeting
so
I'm
wondering
if
we
almost
kind
of
redo
this
in
a
different
manner
that
we
are
going
to
talk
about
achievement
gaps
for
students
K
through
12.
D
I've
cited
before
that
you
know
we
have
students,
whether
it
be
an
Elko
or
in
Sparks,
and
some
of
my
districts,
where
you
know
the
graduation
rate
is
up
like
91
92
percentile
is
where
it
is,
but
in
high
school.
But
then
the
math
achievement
is
26
percent.
So
there
is
an
achievement.
Gap
and
that's
something
I
I
haven't
seen
reflected
in
this,
that
we
have
a
study
or
we
we
address
it
with
a
letter,
and
maybe
this
is
the
place,
instead
of
being
so
specific
with
just
and
believe
me.
D
I'm
sensitive
to
the
Hispanic
community's
needs,
but
I
think
it's
just
almost
bringing
to
mind
that
we
have
across
the
board
achievement
gaps
period
in
the
state
academically
granted.
Other
communities
have
food
insecurity.
Some
of
these
other
issues
that
they're
dealing
with
but
I
I
would
maybe
propose,
if
there's
a
way
for
us
to
instead
of
giving
a
bullet
point
of
items,
we
just
address
achievement
gaps
for
K-12
pupils
in
Nevada
and
that
we're
looking
for
some
study
or
further
information
on.
Why
is
there
a
91
percent
graduation
rate
in
some
of
our
high
schools?
D
A
So
I
that
could
be
something,
though,
that
we
could
include.
Do
we
have
any
other
items
later
on
that
address
that
I,
don't
remember
specifically
I
I
I
will
address
yeah
the.
A
Let
me
address
the
the
Hispanic
one.
That
was
a
specific
report
because
there's
a
specific
need
in
that
Community
and
when
we
tend
to
to
Jumble
everything
all
into
one
thing,
then
we
miss
the
point
of
providing
those
specific
helps.
For
that
you
know,
and
and
with
the
Hispanic
Community
it
happens
to
be
you
know,
many
of
our
classrooms
could
be
up
to
90
percent
of
the
students
in
that
that
class
and
so
I
think
that's
why
there
was
that
specific
report
done
for
that.
F
Yes,
thank
you,
chair,
Dennis
and
and
sensitive
to
the
same
questions
and
concerns
of
my
colleagues
when
it
comes
to
achievement
gaps
for
all
different
students,
whether
it's
lower
income,
families,
rural
communities,
all
different
races
and
nationalities.
We
we
know
those
are
present
and,
of
course,
a
statistic:
I
love
to
brag
about
all
the
time
every
chance
I
get
is
the
last
report
that
I
had
from
last
school
year
from
CCSD
is
that
CCSD
students
last
year
spoke
90
different
languages.
F
So
we
know
that
diversity
is
a
huge
part
of
our
state,
our
Hispanic
and
Latino
students,
of
course,
being
the
largest
population.
But
I
did
notice
because
again
the
concern
about.
Why
are
we
addressing
and
not
addressing?
And,
as
chair
said,
this
is
a
specific
report
for
a
specific
Community,
with
special
with
specific
needs,
but
I
believe
in
if
we
skip
over
a
little
further
and
I,
don't
I'm
not
saying
to
discuss
it,
but
just
to
point
out
where
my
comfort
level
is
under
Section
e
item
24,
where
it
talks
about
diverse
teaching
Workforce.
F
There
is
an
acknowledgment
there
for
all
students
of
diverse
students,
letter
C,
says,
to
create
and
support
professional
development
for
serving
a
diverse
student
population,
including,
but
not
limited
to
unconscious
bias,
training
and
culturally
relevant
pedagogy.
So
I
think
that,
as
chair
was
just
saying,
do,
are
we
touching
this
somewhere
else?
F
I
think
we
are
touching
some
of
that
elsewhere,
because
again,
this
would
include
all
of
our
diverse
students,
all
of
our
students,
English
language
learning
students,
all
of
our
again,
not
some
of
the
Geographic
or
economic
challenges,
but
at
least
when
we're
talking
about
diversity.
I
think
we
have
addressed
it
there
as
well.
A
And
if
somehow
we
missed
it,
we
can
include.
You
know
we
can
include
this
as
we
go.
If
we
see
that
we're
missing
something,
that's
definitely
where
we
could
add
things
and
I
think
Steph
was
gonna.
Were
you
gonna
address
whether
we
I
can't
remember
whether
we
covered
that
the
the
Gap
in
any
other
section?
A
Okay,
okay?
Well,
we
see
that
there
definitely
is
some
other
areas
where
we're
covering
this
as
we
go
through.
So
let's
make
sure,
and
what
we
can
do
too
is
just
keep
a
list
of
some
of
these
things
and
when
we
get
to
the
end,
there's
nothing
that
I,
don't
think
that
keeps
us
from
them
and
adding
any
additional
ones,
but
as
we
go
through
so
I
think,
let's
kind
of
keep
I
call
it
a
parking
lot
but
list
but
cheaper
Gap.
D
Thank
you,
chair
and
I
appreciate
the
Indulgence
I
don't
mean
to
keep
revisiting
this,
but
I
want
us
to
be
able
to
get
get
it
right
that
we
can
all
feel
comfortable
enough
and
and
to
the
point
of
my
colleague,
some
woman,
Miller
I,
get
that
yeah
that
we
do
address
the
diverse
teachers
in
another
section
and
I
with
d
support,
family
friendly
immigration
policies.
I
too,
have
some
concerns
about
us.
I
know
we
send
messages
to
the
federal
delegation,
but
I
think
that
one
is
kind
of
fraught
with
some
issues.
D
Are
we
are
we?
What
are
we
promoting?
What
are
we
encouraging?
Are
we
encouraging
things
that
are
legal,
not
legal,
I,
just
think
that
might
be
a
pool.
We
need
to
stay
out
of
per
se,
especially
if
the
schools
aren't
reporting
and
identifying
those
kids
are
you
know
there
and
being
supported
and
also
Fair
scheduling,
or
do
we
want
to
be
in
the
business
of
telling
companies
you
need
to
change
your
work
schedules?
It
seems
like
the
schools
are
trying
to
work
at
that.
D
Some
of
them,
in
my
mind,
are
starting
too
early
for
kids,
but
I.
Don't
know
that
I'm
comfortable
with
having
d
and
e
I'm
fine
with
a
b
and
c,
and
even
if
we
needed
to
take
off
a
because
we
address
it
somewhere
else,
but
that's
just
my
thoughts.
Thank
you.
A
One
of
the
things
I
I
co-chair
a
bipartisan
committee
for
ncsl
on
immigration
policy,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
to
keep
in
mind
is
how
you
know
the
the
federal
government
by
them.
Not
addressing
this
issue
are
basically
pushing
it
down
to
the
States
to
take
on
these
costs
to
take
in
and
all
the
issues
associated
with
it.
A
So
do
we
as
a
state,
you
know,
want
to
make
a
statement
that
that
really
needs
to
be
addressed
by
them,
because
it's
impacting
us
and
our
budgets
and
our
you
know
so
I
think
that's
where
something
like
this
could
be
helpful,
because
it
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
that
on
how
important
it
is
for
States,
because
we
can't
do
immigration
that
has
to
be
done
at
the
federal
level.
A
So
I
think
that
that's
what
that's
about
the
the
promote
Fair
scheduling,
I,
don't
I
think
that's
probably
more
promoting
that
that
the
legislature
at
least
make
available
the
information
to
businesses
and
others
that
that
what
they
do
does
impact
education
and
and
we've
seen.
You
know,
business
more
and
more
wanting
to
get
involved
in
education
and
because
that's
their
Workforce,
so
I
think
that
that's
where
that
plays
in.
But
other
discussions.
A
H
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
Alex,
drozdoff
recommendation
C15
is
to
include
a
statement
in
the
final
report
expressing
support
for
increased
Early
Education
per
child
funding
to
implement
policy
supporting
quality,
Early
Learning
opportunities.
Once
funding
is
available
Additionally,
the
committee
supports
increasing
access
for
pupils
who
are
four
years
of
age
to
attend
the
Nevada,
ready,
State
pre-k
program
and
expand
the
eligibility
of
the
program
to
pupils
who
are
three
years
of
age.
Mr,
chair.
A
Okay,
so
that
was
by
a
recommendation
by
Tara
Raines
as
the
Director
of
kids
count
initiative,
discussion,
questions.
A
H
H
F
I
just
want
to
clarify
this
is
asking
nde
and
the
charter
school
authority
to
pay
attention
to
this
data.
I
guess
my
real
question
is
I
want
to
make
sure
the
data
is
not
going
elsewhere,
but
that
we're
asking
nde,
which
I
believe
is
already
monitoring
these
items
is,
is
this
what
this
letter
is
asking.
A
If
I
remember
the
discussion,
there
was
concern
that
there's
monitoring
the
data,
but
not
specifically
for
English
language,
learners
and
I,
mean
I,
think
they
overall
they
are
for
all
students,
but
it
there
to
see
if
there
was
something
some
anomaly
within
the
English
language
Learners
that
were
was
causing
kids
to
be
chronically
absent.
That
may
not
exist
in
the
population
as
a
whole.
I
think
that's
what
that
was.
D
Thank
you
chair
just
to
clarify,
do
we
have
somebody
from
nde?
Did
you
say
was
online?
Maybe
that
are
they
monitoring
all
students
and
we're
worried
about
the
ell
or
we.
A
Do
have
if
we
need
the
department,
they
are
online,
the
cameras
off,
but
they
if
they're,
they're,
they're
monitoring
and
if
they
hear
us
still
turn
their
camera
on.
A
Maybe
they're
not
at
the
moment,
I
just
so
that
you
I
mean
just
so
you're
aware,
they're
they're
working
on
a
deadline
on
some
budget
issues
that
have
to,
and
so
they
are,
they
are
monitoring,
but
at
the
same
time
we
don't
want
to
slow
them
down
so
that
they
can
get
that
budget
done.
So
we
might
be
able
to
grab
them
here
in
a
second.
Yes,
some
women,
Hanson.
D
D
A
That
was
my
understanding
of
it.
I
mean
it
doesn't
read
that
way
in
the
in
this
particular,
because
it's
got
the
word
and
but
I
think
that
that's
the
way
I
understood
it
and
I
and
that
stuff
seems
to
be
doing.
C
B
Thank
you,
chair
Dennis
I
know
that
on
the
Nevada
school
performance
framework,
if
you
have
over
10
ell
students
in
a
subgroup,
your
school
tracks,
those
students,
and
so
that
can
impact
your
rating
on
the
star
system,
I'd
like
to
add
I'd
like
to
know
SGP
rates
and
then
act
rates.
B
E
Mr
chair:
yes,
this
is
Jonathan
Moore
Deputy
superintendent,
with
the
Nevada
Department
of
Education,
oh
hey,
I
heard
you
were
having
technical
issues.
Yes,
I'm
glad
that
you
can
hear
me
hear
me
now.
Yeah
I
send
a
response
to
the
conversation.
Yes,
chronic
absentee
chronic
absenteeism
rates
are
posted
to
the
Nevada
report
card
on
that
data
is
disaggregated
along
the
lines
of
race
and
ethnicity.
E
E
It
is
data
that
we
use
quite
frequently
in
our
work
in
terms
of
prioritizing
resources
and
supports
for
our
schools
and
school
districts,
as
well
as
our
Educators.
When
it
comes
to
professional
learning,.
A
So
it
sounds
like
so.
Are
you
saying
that
you're
you're
monitoring
data
with
regard
to
English
language
Learners,
specifically
since
they're
part
of
that
special
group.
E
E
Mr
chair,
this
is
Jonathan
Moore.
That
is
accurate.
Yes,
that
is
a
part
of
the
data
on
our
report
card.
That
is,
a
data
set
that
we
do
use
when
we
look
at
how
we
leverage
various
supports
for
English
Learners
Jonathan
Moore
for
the
record.
Okay,.
B
E
Jonathan
more
for
the
record,
yes
per
Federal
requirements.
We
are
required
to
disaggregate
data
along
the
lines
of
not
only
race
and
ethnicity,
but
also
special
populations,
which
would
be
defined
as
our
migrant
students,
our
students
who
identify
as
English
Learners
our
students
who
need
free
and
reduced
price
lunch,
as
well
as
other
populations
or
students
experiencing
homelessness.
So
that
data
is
disaggregated
once
again
along
the
lines
of
race
and
ethnicity
and
then
also
along
the
lines
of
special
populations.
E
Jonathan
Moore
for
the
record,
so
that
data
is
publicly
available
on
the
Nevada
report
card
and
then
we
also
have
a
mechanism
by
which
we
share
various
data
sets
in
public
forms
such
as
the
state
board
meeting,
but
it
would
be
most
readily
available
on
the
Nevada
report
card.
That's
nevadareportcard.nv.gov.
A
Okay,
other
questions
so
yeah,
so
that
was
going
to
be
my
next
comment.
It
sounds
like
they're
already
that
the
data
is
actually
available.
So
maybe
we
don't
need
to
do
that.
One
so
I'm
going
to
cross
that
one
off
unless
somebody
feels
the
need
to
add
something
else
that
they're
not
monitoring,
but
it
sounds
like
they
have
the
ability
to
do
that.
Thank
you,
Dr
Moore,
all
right.
Let's
go
to
number
19.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
Alex
strasdoff,
a
recommendation
scene
19,
is
to
send
a
letter
to
the
superintendents
of
each
school
district
and
the
spcsa
encouraging
districts
and
schools,
including
charter
schools,
to
support
teachers
in
learning
how
to
use
assistive
technology
to
show
visually
impaired
students
how
to
use
the
internet
and
other
resources
in
order
to
better
navigate
the
system
and
post-secondary
education
or
the
workforce.
Mr
chair
thank.
A
You
any
questions
on
this.
One
I
think
that
one's
a
good
one,
so,
okay,
so
all
right.
So
we
need
a
motion.
Although
let
me
go
back
to
14
real
quick,
because
I
know
some
women
Hansen
talked
about
a
couple
of
issues
that
they
had
on
those.
A
Did
we
I
mean,
do
you
still
have
those
same
issues?
I?
Don't
because
if
you,
if
you
do
and
don't
want
to
vote
for
that
one,
we
could
probably
pull
that
one
separate
and
do
the
rest
of
them
all
together
and
then
do
that
one
or,
if
you're
comfortable,
with
the
explanation
of
what
it
was,
and
we
can
just
do
them
all
together.
D
Thank
you,
chair,
Dennis
I,
you
know,
I
I
can
go
ahead
and
I
don't
have
to
pull
it
separately,
I
guess
just
being
on
the
record
that
certainly
support
that
we
do
what
we
can
for
the
achievement
gap
for
Hispanic
communities
and
and
if
these
have
been
identified
as
some
areas
of
help,
but
putting
on
the
record
I
I
have
concerns
with
DNE
in
particular
that
we're
taking
on
federal
stuff
that
could
get
us.
D
G
A
Second,
from
Senator
dondero
Loop,
further
discussion
on
the
motion,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
motion
carries
all
right:
let's
go
to
relating
to
connectivity
and
operations.
A
A
H
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
Alex
drozdoff
recommendation
D20
is
to
send
a
letter
to
Nevada's
Congressional
Delegation,
encouraging
additional
funding,
support
for
Broadband
programs
to
support
students,
learning
remotely
and
or
include
a
statement
in
the
committee's
final
report,
encouraging
the
governor's
office
of
science,
Innovation
and
Technology
nde
the
school
districts
and
the
spcsa
to
collaborate
with
private
Partnerships
to
continue
to
develop,
maintain
and
enhance
internet
and
device
capabilities
for
students.
Learning
remotely
Mr
chair.
A
Any
questions
or
I
mean
I
think
we
all
know
the
need
for
this,
and
this
is
sending
a
letter
to
our
Congressional
Delegation
and
then
our
final
report
yeah.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
Alex,
strasdoff
recommendation
D21
is
to
send
a
letter
to
the
superintendent
of
each
school
district
and
the
spcsa
requesting
that
districts
and
schools,
including
Charter
Schools,
support
cultural
expressions
in
decorating,
graduation
caps
and
other
adornments
for
graduating
pupils.
Who
wish
to
do
so.
Mr
chair.
A
F
Thank
you
and
those
today
we
just
heard
a
few
voices
compared
to
what
we
have
heard.
Even
a
bdr.
Let's
remember
we're
discussing
sending
a
letter
or
a
possible
Bill
draft
request
to
support
a
student's,
First,
Direct,
First
Amendment
right
for
self-expression
in
a
celebratory
event.
So
I
I,
just
don't
want
us
to
lose
the
seriousness
of
this.
This
isn't
a
dress
code
issue.
F
I
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
we
support
our
students
at
different
cultures,
different
races,
different
religions,
different
groups,
celebrate
in
different
ways
and
have
different,
adornments
and
and
such
and
so
and
religious
groups
as
well
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
supporting
those
rights.
A
D
Thank
you,
chair,
yeah,
I
support
this.
This
letter,
I
I,
would
be
a
little
hesitant
about
a
bdr
per
se,
just
because
I
think
we
try
to
be
careful
about
stepping
into
school
districts.
I
would
highly
recommend
and
the
letter
be
strongly
worded
that
we
support.
D
You
know
these
cultural
expressions
specifically
so
and
I
think
using
that
word.
Cultural
expression
is
really
important
to
be
in
the
language,
whether
it
be
a
bdr
or
not
so
yeah
I
am
supportive
of
this.
Thank
you.
A
And
we're-
and
at
this
point
we're
not
talking
bdr,
we'll
we're
going
to
put
it
on
the
list
and
bring
it
back.
However,
your
statement
that
you
said
you
don't
think
that
we
step
into
the
school
district
I
think
the
school
districts
probably
disagree
with
you
I
think
we
do
that
a
lot,
and
so
but
okay,
any
other
questions
on
this
one.
H
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair
recommendation
d22
is
to
send
a
letter
to
the
superintendent
of
Public
Instruction
at
nde
and
the
superintendent
of
each
School
District
supporting
work
concerning
competency-based
education.
This
letter
would
encourage
these
entities
to
continue
to
build
capacity
for
change
in
its
work
in
schools.
Empower
student
learning
by
ensuring
that
each
learner
has
the
supports
and
opportunities
they
need
to
succeed,
cultivate
systems,
change
through
financial
and
school
Improvement
structures
and
ensure
quality
in
its
implementation
of
these
practices.
Mr
chair.
A
Thank
you
so,
and
I
can
speak
to
this
one.
You
know
because
I
brought
the
bill
last
session
working
with
the
department
and
the
Blue
Ribbon
committee,
that
the
department
of
Ed,
put
together
on
competency-based
education,
I
think
what's
being
asked
here,
is
to
send
a
letter
supporting
that,
especially
as
we
try
to
implement
this
to
to
continue
to
talk
about
the
importance
of
competency-based
Education
as
we
move
forward.
So
that's
what
this
is
any
questions.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
chair
recommendation,
d23
and
sorry
Alex
Stroud's,
not
for
the
record,
is
to
include
a
statement
in
the
committee's
final
report,
stating
that
the
committee
heard
extensive
testimony,
discussion
and
presentations
concerning
the
composition
of
the
boards
of
Trustees
of
County
school
districts
in
Nevada,
and
recognizes
that,
while
the
committee
heard
various
ideas
to
improve
School
Board
governance
issues,
the
topic
should
be
further
studied.
Mr,
chair.
A
Thank
you.
So
let
me
give
you
my
thoughts
on
this.
We
we
had
two
additional
meetings
got
had
a
lot
of
input
had
a
lot
of
excitement
in
in
the
meeting
I.
What
I
am
suggesting
on
this
one
is
that
we
include
a
statement
in
our
final
report
and
that
we
include
an
an
appendix
that
would
include
the
full
report
of
all
the
suggestions
that
were
given
for
about
school
board.
Governance.
A
A
Anyone
can
look
at
that
and
and
as
we
go
into
the
next
session,
people
can
look
at
that
and
use
that.
So
that's
my
my
recommendation
on
this
one
is
that
we
just
include
the
statement
that
we
include
the
full
report
as
part
of
a
of
an
appendix
to
to
our
full
report,
and
he
had
yes,
some
women
Hansen.
D
Thank
you,
chair,
I'm,
sure,
everybody's,
getting
tired
of
me
at
this
point.
I
have
a
recommendation.
I
I
feel
this
has
been
visited.
The
speaker
brought
this
bill
in
20
21.,
it
went
it
didn't
move
and
then
it
went
into
the
mining
bill
at
the
last
minute.
For
as
a
study
we
did
the
study
or
they
have
the
report.
We
had
the
meetings
and
there's
just
not
a
consensus
and
and
when
we
looked
at
the
States
you
know
we
had
Chicago
that's
moving
away
from
this
and
and
going
to
electing
21
members.
D
Instead
of
you
know,
appointment
of
some
and
I
think
they
had
a
board
of
like
11
or
or
nine,
and
some
of
the
other
states
mentioned
Maryland,
mainly
back
East.
There
weren't
that
many
I
just
don't
think
that
the
support
is
there
and
I
I
would
hate
to
see
us
waste
more
time.
Studying
this
when
I
think
it's
been
studied
and
perhaps
again,
let's
study,
graduation
rates
and
proficiency
and
I
think
we
could
put
to
bed
the
idea
of
right
now,
there's
not
an
appetite
for
for
appointing
members
of
the
school
board.
A
Just
so
so
I'm
clear
what
I
was
suggesting
here
is
that
we
included
in
our
our
final
report
and
include
the
full
report.
There
was
more
than
just
that
issue
and
the
one
issue
was
a
hybrid
board,
but
there
was
20
other
or
I.
Don't
I
can't
remember
how
many
there
was
a
lot
of
other
suggestions
in
there.
Some
of
them
were
really
I.
Think
all
of
them
were
ones
that
Merit
discussion
and
could
come
up
as
bills
in
in
the
session
that
some
have
not
even
been
talked
about.
A
I,
don't
think
any
of
the
recommendations
in
there
were
a
study.
All
of
them
were
some
type
of
specific
action
that
could
be
taken
concerning
School
Board
governance,
yeah,
some
women
Hardy.
B
A
A
That
correct
I
mean
there
could
be
some
of
those
issues
that
have
never
been
dealt
with.
That
might
need
to
be
studied,
but
I'm
not
suggesting
here
that
we
do
another
study
on
the
same
thing,
because
we
we
that's
what
the
purpose
of
what
we
just
did
was
I
just
want
to
make
sure
by
keep
putting
it
in
our
final
report
that
that
that
doesn't
get
buried
in
just
minutes,
but
that
it's
a
separate
report
that
people
could
refer
to
as
they
want.
A
If,
because
I
think
this
is
a
very
it's
still
a
very
important
issue,
and
there
still
has
I
mean
there's
many
different
aspects
to
this.
One
of
the
issues
that
came
up
was
whether
it
should
be
Statewide
or
should
could
should
it
be
by
district,
and
so
all
of
those
things
I
think
need
to
be
discussed.
I
think
by
putting
it
in
our
final
report,
I
think
that
will
help
that
discussion
and
actually
save
time
as
people
decided
what
they
want
to
do.
A
Any
other
discussion:
okay,
okay!
So
that's
it
on
those
items.
A
G
I
will
make
a
motion
to
go
forward
with
d
relating
to
connectivity
and
operations,
we're
going
to
do
20,
both
A
and
B,
21,
22
and
23..
A
Second,
from
Senator,
dondero,
Loop
and
further
discussion,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
any
oppose
CNA
motion
carries
okay,
let's
go
to
e
relating
to
Educators
and
other
school
personnel.
We
have.
Let's
see,
let
me
look
at
this.
A
This
one
is
a
lot.
Let's
I
think
what
we'll
do
here.
Let's
take
a
just
a
real,
quick
break
because
we've
been
going
for
a
while.
We
need
to
come
back,
though,
and
really
get
make
sure
that
we
move,
but
it
would
be
helpful
if
you
could
also,
let's
take
a
five
minute
break,
but
look
through
your
notes
see
if
there's
any
of
these,
that
that
we
don't
want
to
do
that.
We
can
pull
out.
A
A
And
to
page
12
to
the
middle
of
page
12.,
so
it
goes
through
44,
so
that
was
24
to
44.
So
there's
20
there
to
consider.
So
so,
let's
take
a
we'll
go
till
we're
right
at
three
o'clock:
let's
go
till
five
after
we'll,
so
be
we're
on
recess
until
five
after
three.
A
A
Recess
and
go
back,
we
are
on
page
if
I
can
find
the
right
page,
page,
seven
section
e
relating
to
Educators
and
other
school
personnel
in
in
order
to
be
a
little
bit
more
efficient,
I
think
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
I
will
just
pull
talk
about
the
the
number
and
the
the
the
title.
You
all
have
the
the
information
before
you.
A
So
if
you
have
any
questions
on
that
issue,
I'll
just
ask
if
you
have
any
questions,
if
not
we'll
move
to
the
next
diet
and
I'll,
just
assume
that
if
you
don't
have
any
questions
that
you're
okay
and
we
can
move
forward
so
with
that
section
is
relating
to
Educators
and
other
school
Personnel
24
is
on
a
diverse
teaching
Workforce.
Do
you
have
questions
on
this?
One.
D
Thank
you
chair
just
just
a
a
point
that
I'm
fine
with
teacher
diversity
and
went
to
a
very
diverse
school
myself,
middle
school
and
high
school,
and
but
with
our
teacher
recruitment
issue
right
now.
I
just
want
to
be
sure
that
we
need
teachers
period
like
if
we
get
you
know
a
variety
of
of
people
apply.
A
So
so
this
is,
this
is,
would
be
a
statement
in
our
final
report
and
I
I.
Don't
think,
there's
anybody
that's
going
to
turn
down
any
qualified
teacher
anywhere
in
this
country
right
now,
but
I
think
the
statement
that
we
would
be
making
here
is:
what
can
we
do
to
encourage
more,
especially
as
we
saw
in
some
of
the
presentations
that
there
are
individuals
that
are
from
these
diverse
communities
that
lived
there
and
worked
there?
A
A
This
one
is
on
a
letter
to
pretend
encouraging
districts
to
increase
the
educator
pay
by
20
and
provide
at
least
twenty
dollars
per
hour.
This
is
the
one
that
Chris
Daly
keeps
bringing
up
about.
2020.
A
I
think
most
districts
are
probably
already
doing
this
because
they
need
to
but
I
don't
I,
don't
have
an
issue
necessarily
encouraging
districts
to
do
this.
Obviously
you
know
I
think
the
big
question
when
it
comes
to
education
is
the
revenue
where's,
the
revenue
coming
from
to
pay
for
because
the
biggest
part
of
the
education
is
the
salaries,
but
as
far
as
the
the
encouragement
of
that
I
think
it
I
think
it's
a
good.
D
Just
just
some
feedback:
this
is
particularly
a
little
bit
difficult
in
the
rural
districts,
for
some
of
the
counties
that
just
had
their
some
of
their
funds
swept
over
some
issues
with
the
legislation
from
2021
about
when
those
npm
funds
would
be
be
not
coming
back
to
the
counties
and
they
already
had
their
budgets
in
place
and
now
we're
asking
the
superintendents
of
those
counties
that
have
to
return
six
and
seven
million
dollars
to
now
increase
their
teachers
up
to
20
percent
when
their
ending
fund
balance
is
almost
at
four
percent,
which
puts
them
on
on
a
watch
list.
D
B
You
chair,
Dennis,
I
I,
have
run
a
small
District
before
and
so
to
get
this
with.
No
funding
attached
is
a
little
bit.
Sometimes
it's
difficult
to
be
able
to
maneuver
and
make
it
work.
I
mean
a
recommendation:
okay,
fine,
but
if
I
was
the
superintendent
I
would
push
back
and
say
well,
where's
the
funds
to
help
with
that.
B
A
Yeah
well,
I
think
that
that's
true
I
I
think
that
if
they
want
to
get
teachers,
I
don't
think
they
have
much
of
a
choice.
Now
they've
got
to
do
something
otherwise
they're
not
getting
they're
competing
against
everyone
else.
Do
we
have
anywhere
in
our
recommendations,
to
increase
funds
for
education.
A
Right,
so
we
so
we
do
have
another
recommendation
coming
up
where
we're
recommending
that
in
that
education
funding
continue
to
be
increased,
which
would
help
alleviate
I
mean
we.
You
know
the
issue
that
some
of
them
and
Hanson
brought
up
is,
is
kind
of
an
anomaly,
because
it's
a
one-time
thing
when
you're
starting
to
kick
something
off,
but
as
we
move
forward.
This
other
recommendation
is
to
continue
to
increase
that
every
year
up
to
10
years
to
get
us
close
to
that
median,
where
the
commission
on
school
funding
and
so
I.
A
So
in
essence,
it
might
turn
off
in
essence,
while
that
somebody
didn't
like
me
while
some
well,
we
could,
you
know,
suggest
that
they
do
this,
we're
also
suggesting
in
another
section
that
that
we
increase
the
the
revenue
so
I'm,
okay,
I'm.
Okay,
if
we
do
this
I
mean
because
I
I
know
we
got
another
recommendation
coming
up,
that
I
would
support
that
would
increase
education
funding
so
any
any
other
thoughts.
A
A
Okay,
I'm
not
hearing
anything
that
sounds
like
we
can
move
forward
on
that
27
instructional
framework
sent
a
letter
to
the
superintendent
of
Public
Instruction,
urging
the
development
of
an
instructional
framework
to
help
teachers
understand
how
to
teach
English
while
also
teaching
their
content
area
for
ell
pupils.
A
A
Hamlin
Mr
Hanlon
on
this
issue:
that's
something
that
has
been
changing,
something
that
that
does
go
through
the
that
comes
through
the
budget.
This
would
be
a
letter
to
them,
encouraging
to
increase
that
funding
to
help
the
development
of
teachers.
Any
questions
on
that
one
29
Heroes
to
education.
This
was
the
one
two
dedicated
HTE
for
positions
to
be
filled
by
veterans
who
have
worked
in
public
education,
who
would
be
tasked
with
working
with
participating
school
districts.
This
was
the
one
George
on
rice.
A
So
any
questions
on
this
one
about
30,
Recruitment
and
Retention
statement
in
our
final
report:
currency,
continued
development,
use
of
strategy
to
recruit
and
retain
more
teachers
locally,
and
that
was
a
recommendation
from
the
dean
of
the
school
of
Liberal
Arts
and
Sciences
at
Nevada,
State
College
any
questions
or
concerns
there.
Foreign.
A
Number
30
exit
survey,
30,
sorry,
31
exit
survey,
a
letter
that
consider
provide
to
the
governor
Finance
in
ways
of
means
consider
providing
funding
to
nde
to
contract
with
a
third
party,
develop
Implement
and
analyze
results
of
a
Statewide
exit
survey
through
teachers
when
exiting
their
school
district
or
state.
Regardless
of
the
reason
for
that,
I
think
that
we
had
a
discussion
about
this,
that
some
districts
do
some
of
this,
but
I
think
this
would
be
a
more
in-depth
to
really
find
out.
A
Why
are
they
leaving
so,
and
this
is
this
would
be
a
letter
for
a
recommendation
that
they
consider
providing
that
questions.
A
Okay,
31
Workforce

portal,
Governor
Finance,
Ways
and
Means
consider
investing
funding
to
sustain
educator,
Workforce
supply
and
demand
portal
currently
being
developed
using
Federal
relief
funds.
So
this
would
be
to
help
them
continue
to
support
that.
So
it's
getting
set
up
with
using
the
federal
relief
funds,
but
then
to
to
provide
funding
as
an
ongoing
thing
questions
there
33
working
conditions
survey.
A
A
A
A
So
that
would
be
good
to
know
any
other
questions
there:
okay,
34
messaging
and
branding
of
the
profession
of
teaching.
This
was
sending
a
letter
to
the
governor.
Finance
ways
means
consider
allocating
funds
and
districts
to
for
frequent
public
branding
message
that
promotes
Recruitment
and
Retention
of
Educators
via
advertisement
with
social
media
Outlets.
So
this
would
be
a
concerted
effort
on
from
the
state
to
message
and
brand
provision
of
teaching
Senator
buck.
B
A
Yeah
and
I:
don't
this
one
I'm,
not
sure
where,
if
it's
asking
districts
necessarily
but
it
to
end
the
it's
the
end
of
in
the
end
districts
for
frequent
public
branding,
yeah,
so
I
mean
that
would
be
definitely
would
we
be
providing
additional
funds
for
that
and
where
you
know,
like
you
said,
with
the
funding
come
out
of
something
else.
D
Thank
you
chair.
My
concern
with
this
one
is:
is
funding
essentially
a
kind
of
a
social
media,
marketing
campaign
or
some
sort
of
advertising
wondering
if,
if
it's
placed
in
the
right
spot,
where
maybe
that's
something
teachers
unions
could
facilitate,
you
know
they
I'm,
just
thinking
where,
where
should
the
money
come
from
to
recruit
and
and
use
that
sort
of
advertising
lure
to
get
teachers
here
and
so
I
just
have
a
problem
with
us:
putting
funds
in
to
help
do
that
per
se.
A
Other
discussion-
yes,
some
of
them
and
Bill
Max
Rod.
G
G
You
know,
CCSD
a
good
place
to
work
and
unfortunately
you
don't
find
a
whole
lot
of
positive
things,
even
though
I
would
say
that
it
is
a
great
District,
so
I
just
want
that.
But
you
know,
unfortunately,
when
you
are
marketing
and
you're
trying
to
get
teachers
from
all
over
the
country.
That
is
part
of
what
the
cost
of
doing
business
is
kind
of
doing
that
marketing
strategy.
So
I
think
this
is
an
important,
albeit
you
know
it's
not
always
fun.
G
To
think
that
that
we
have
to
spend
money
on
doing
that,
but
I
do
think.
It's
important
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
biggest
obstacles
we
have
in
especially
CCSD
and
getting
in
teachers,
because
there's
just
this
negative
connotation
that
you
find
online,
which
you
know
I,
don't
think,
is
deserved,
and
so
I
think
this
would
be
an
important
aspect.
Senator.
C
Mr
chair
flying
through
airports
for
the
last
few
months,
I
mean
first
of
all,
every
state
has
this
issue
we're
not
alone,
but
every
almost
every
airport
that
I
have
been
in
has
a
billboard
sign
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
of
some
sort
that
says,
come
teach
with
us,
so
the
school
districts
are
already
taking
care
of
this
messaging
and
branding
and
I
think
because
I'm
I'm
a
little
bit
on
the
fence
with
this,
because
I
feel
like
this
is
more
a
school
district
responsibility.
C
If
you
will,
as
opposed
to
a
state
responsibility
while
we
license
the
teachers,
I
still
feel
like
it
might
be
a
school
district
responsibility,
so
I'm
not
opposed
to
this
being
in
there,
but
because
it's
a
letter
and
it's
just
a
recommendation
but
but
we
have
other
entities,
I,
think
along
with
our
Nevada,
my
brain
just
went
dead.
Our
advertising
that
goes
with
Nevada,
that
we
do
a
lot
of
these
types
of
things.
So
I
just
feel
like
the
department
of
Ed
has
so
few
people,
and
so
many
responsibilities.
A
So
let
me
just
suggest
something
here,
rather
than
suggest
that
that
we
increase
funds
for
doing
this.
We
could
just
include,
in
our
final
report,
just
a
support
for
all
the
stuff
that
they
are
doing
to
recruit
teachers
and
maybe
a
statement
that
we
we
think
that
that's
important
to
to
you
know
to
positively
promote
teaching
as
a
profession,
Senator
buck.
A
A
Okay,
well,
I,
guess
think
about
that
for
a
second
Simon
and
Thomas.
B
G
F
G
A
A
Yeah
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
think
we
have
any.
Let
me
see,
actually
it's
empty
now
down
in
Vegas
I
understand,
but
we
did
have
some
yet
Senator
bud.
A
So
and
I
think
we
I
think
we
have
some
of
those
already
that
you
know
I
think
we've
already
talked
about
wine
and
I,
so
I
think
we
have
some
of
that
already
I'm,
just
wondering
if
we
should
I
mean,
if
would
it
be
a
benefit
for
us
as
a
committee,
to
make
a
statement
about
the
as
it
says
here,
the
the
I
mean
I,
guess
the
profession
as
a
whole,
how
we
appreciate
and
and
encourage
continued
promotion
of
the
teaching
profession
and
that
kind
of
a
thing
as
opposed
to
you
know,
because
they're
already
doing
some
of
these
I
think
I
think
we
either
don't
do
anything
or
do
we
use
this
as
an
opportunity
to
say
we
think
teachers
are
important
and
this
is
an
important
profession
and
we
need
to
continue
to
to
talk
positively
about
the
profession
same
room,
enhance
it.
D
Thank
you,
chair,
I
I.
Would
you
know
propose
that
we
we
strike
this
one
because
we
do
cover
it.
The
whole
teacher
recruitment
retention,
Task
Force,
is
is
evidence
that
we
support
the
idea
of
recruitment.
I
know
what
this
came
on
behalf
of
them
and
there's
other
things
that
we're
going
to
do
and
look
at
here.
D
That
I
think
really
reflect
how
important
we
view
teacher
recruitment
and
retention
I,
just
I
I,
don't
know,
necessarily
that
you
know
we
need
to
spend
the
time
with
a
letter
when
we've
got
so
many
other
things
that
we're
doing
to
show
that
we
want
Recruitment
and
Retention
done
and
to
my
colleague's
point
that
we
we
are
seeing
some
advertising
done.
So
that
would
be.
My
thought
is
to
just
maybe
strike
this
one,
since
it
could
be
considered
redundant.
C
C
Just
simply
saying
that
to
ask
the
nde
to
do
one
more
thing
without
additional
people,
and
without
this
is
and
and
by
the
way
Eureka
County
might
not
need
teachers
like
Clark
County,
like
Nye
everybody's
different
in
every
state,
in
every
County
and
I
just
said
it's
more
specific
to
that
and
I
just
feel
like
this
is
an
added
burden
to
the
nde,
who
is
already
short
staffed.
So
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
importance
of
teachers
in
our
society
or
in
communities.
A
Thank
you.
You
know,
I
almost
think
that
we
should,
at
the
end
of
our
report,
have
a
statement
just
about
teachers
and
especially
all
the
stuff
that
we've
learned
about
them,
and
we
already
knew
this,
but
it
was
even
fortified
even
more
as
we've
gone
through
this.
The
last
10
meetings
that
you
know
the
teachers
are
so
vital
and
they
do
such
a
great
work,
and
maybe
we
need
to
think
about
putting
that
at
the
very
end
of
the
thing,
I'm,
okay,
with
with
moving
forward
on
without
this,
unless
somebody
feels
really
strongly.
A
Okay,
let's
go
to
35
aspiring
Nevada,
aspiring
Educators
initiative.
This
one
was
to
send
a
letter
to
the
governor
and
finance
ways,
means
on
to
encourage
investing
in
a
series
of
events
and
supports
for
aspiring
Educators,
specifically
preserving
pre-service,
Educators
or
potential
future.
This
is
kind
of
what
I
think
someone
Hansen
just
brought
up.
You
know
the
supporting
initiatives
that
will
help
teachers
and
recruit
teachers
and
bring
more
to
the
profession,
and
then
those
that
are
already
there
providing
supports
to
help
them
become
better
teachers.
A
I
think
that's
the
gist
of
what
it
says.
Any
discussion
on
that
okay,
move
forward,
36,
expand,
expedited
background
checks
this
in
the
letter
to
the
governor
Finance
ways.
It
means
consider
allocating
funding
to
the
department
to
support
the
prioritize.
They
send
a
background
checks
for
educator
licensure,
so
questions
on
that
one
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
hear
that
sometimes
it
takes
so
long
to
get
them
because
they
can't
get
the
and
if
we
could
somehow
allocate
some
funding.
A
If
that's
it,
maybe
maybe
there's
some
other
things
that
need
to
happen.
Maybe
funding
and
or
whatever
needs
to
happen
to
expedite
background
checks.
C
I
I
don't
know
if
somebody's
online
from
the
nde,
but
I
can
tell
you
this
summer,
myself
I
checked
on
several
Educators
who
were
concerned
about
their
licenses
and
almost
always
it
was
an
educator
error
and
I
don't
mean,
for
it
was
just
something
that
got
missed
like
they
ordered
their
transcripts
from
a
university,
the
transcripts
they
didn't
click
one
box
or
something
and
they
didn't
get
sent,
and
they
did
that
and
they
immediately
got
in
so
I.
C
A
Yes,
okay,
other
questions:
we're
okay;
okay,
let's
go
to
37
continuation
of
state
number,
Elementary,
Secondary,
School,
emergency
relief,
Esser
and
funded
instance.
Programs.
Send
the
letter
to
consider
investing
through
an
increasing
funding.
Education
supports
initiatives
that
are
currently
being
funded
through
the
escort
funds
so
to
include
teach
Nevada
scholarships,
incentivizing
Pathways
to
teaching
Grant
programs,
consider
covering
cost
candidates
of
assessments
to
include
Praxis,
core
and
practice
content
exams
and
consider
study
determine
which
tests
for
fund
projects
are
having
the
most
impact.
A
So,
in
other
words,
saying
hey,
you
know
when
we
run
out
of
Esther
funds
encouraging
governor
and
the
finance
ways,
it
means
to
invest
through
increased
funding,
to
continue
to
fund
those
and
and
also
to
consider
a
study
to
determine
which
ones
are
are
successful
and
which
ones
aren't.
C
A
E
Oh
thank
you.
Mr,
chair
for
the
record.
Adam
draws
with
the
LCB
fiscal
analysis.
Division
I
believe
there
was
a
bill
that
provided
one-time
funding
for
an
eye
tip
of
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
FY
22
for
nitup
general.
A
C
We
it's
my
it's
my
understanding
that
we
did
not
I,
don't
think
we
used
Esser
funds,
that's
the
reason
we're
asking,
because
it
was
it.
It
had
an
ending
date
am
I
correct,
and
so,
when
it
ended,
we
couldn't
continue
to
fund
it.
So
that's
why,
if
we
send
this
letter,
we
would
be
continuing
the
funding
to
do
this
project
right.
A
J
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
Asher,
killing
committee
Council.
Yes,
I
think
that
what
Nita
does
is
practically
similar
to
what
some
of
these
other
things
do.
So,
even
though
the
funding
sources
are
different,
I
think
it
would
be
related
to
say
that,
because
the
point
of
this
item
is
to
consider
the
legislature
providing
Appropriations
for
these
things
that
were
previously
federally
funded
and
so
including
nitep
as
another
item
that
does
a
substantively
similar
thing.
That
also
would
need
additional
legislative
funding.
Would
it
would
fit
with
the
other
items
in
that
way?
Thank.
A
You
Mr,
yes,
go
ahead.
E
A
Thank
you
from
the
general
yes,
okay,
so
we
would
just
include
an
item
here
that
we
would.
That
would
want
to
be
able
to
continue
that,
even
though
it
is
not
Esther
funded,
but
that
we
would
want
General
funds
and
the
rest
of
this
we're
asking
for
General
funds
to
be
used
as
they
as
the
those
funds
are
expended.
A
Okay,
let's
go
to
38.
A
Loans
for
in-state
tuition
for
Teacher
prep
programs,
sending
a
letter
to
Governor
finance
and
weights
and
means
consider
providing
funding
to
create
manage
zero
interest
loans
for
in-state
tuition
for
Teacher
prep
programs.
Nevada
would
offer
a
zero
interest
loan
for
100
of
a
pre-service
teachers,
in-state
tuition
similar
to
the
home
as
possible
for
teachers
Home
Loan
program.
A
A
Okay,
39
home
is
possible
for
teachers.
That's
the
program
that
helps
provide
housing
for
teachers.
F
Thank
you,
chair
again,
I'm,
going
to
make
a
blanket
statement
about
all
of
these.
These
letters
and
these
ideas
and
again
the
focus,
seems
to
be
encourage
people
to
become
teachers.
What
we
need
to
be
focusing
on
is
retention
of
teachers
because
again
all
of
them
they
will
come
and
and
they
will
leave
and
also
when
it
comes
to
home
programs
which
I've
called
on
some
and
they
they
are
quite
interesting.
F
You
know
again,
I
think
the
focus
needs
it
all
of
this
discussion
when
it
comes
to
branding
when
it
comes
to
recruitment.
These
are
all
issues
based
on
working
conditions,
and
so
we
need
to
restore
the
profession
to
a
place
that
teach
that
not
just
people
want
to
become
teachers,
but
that
our
current
teaching
Workforce
wants
to
stay.
And
it's
a
sensitive
issue,
because
when
we
talk
about
home
ownership
programs
which
I'm
not
at
all
saying,
we
shouldn't
do
or
isn't
needed.
F
But
it's
almost
like
acknowledging
and
saying
that
it's
okay
to
pay
these
professionals
less
so
I
just
want
us
to
be
aware
that
while
this
may
be
in
a
more
expedient
or
immediate
solution
to
to
to
a
grave
need
that
again,
we
need
to
keep
moving
toward
what
the
ultimate
Solutions
are.
A
Appreciate
that,
thank
you
other
discussions
on
this
one.
Okay,
40
is
a
loan
forgiveness
program.
Do
the
governor
Finance
twice
a
means
to
consider
funding
outside
State
outside
of
the
state
general
fund,
instead
of
providing
funding
outside
of
the
state
general
fund
to
create
and
manage
a
student
loan
forgiveness
reimbursement
program
for
teachers
after
they've
talked
for
five
years
in
a
public
school
classroom,
so
this
would
be
an
additional
help
for
ones
that
have
already
that
didn't
do
any
of
the
other
ones
that
could
could
be
forgiven
partially
for
for
student
loans,
some
women
Miller.
F
I
would
also
suggest
on
this
one
that
it's
also
included.
We
did
create
the
student
loan
Ombudsman
and
to
I
would
say
to
send
a
copy
to
them
as
well
and
I
know,
there's
been
some
challenges
with
that,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they
also
I
think
should
be
looped
in
this
as
well.
With
this
letter.
F
Yes
aware
because
again,
that's
that's
another
resource
that
people
can
go
to
for
assistance
and
questions
and
for
the
service,
so
I
think
they
should
be
looped
in
on
this.
Be
aware
of
this,
so.
A
Was
Mr
Killian?
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Okay,
41
Public,
Employees
Retirement
System
incentive
send
a
letter
to
the
purse
to

superintendently
School

encouraging

to
collaborate
continue
to
collaborate;
schools,
including
Charters,
to
inform
teachers
and
other
school
Personnel,
especially
new
or
potential
employees,
about
the
benefits
of
pers.
B
Thank
you,
chair
Dennis.
This
was
actually
one
of
my
bills
from
last
session
that
never
got
heard,
but
SB
221,
because
a
lot
of
teachers
do
not
know
the
benefit
of
pers
and
that
it's
an
additional
29
and
three
quarters
percent
that
the
employer
pays
depending
on
where
the
teacher
the
public
employees
is
employed
and
so
what
a
great
benefit
one
of
the
best
Retirement
Systems
in
the
entire
United
States,
and
what
great
way
to
recruit
teachers
is
to.
B
A
I,
that's
that
my
wife
was
listening
to
the
the
school
district.
Does
a
a
an
actual
workshop
on
this
issue
and
talked
specifically
about
that,
how
great
a
program
this
is
and
brand
new
teachers
don't
think
about
retirement
and
which
is
unfortunate
because
if
they
did
perhaps
they
wouldn't
be
in
such
a
hurry,
sometimes
that
to
to
leave
so
I.
Think
it's
a
good
good
thing
to
talk
about.
You
know
we
have
a
good
program.
That's
you
know,
that's
that's
funded
in
a
way
that
can
continue
and
some
any
other
questions
on
this
one.
A
This
one
is
sending
a
letter
to
the
governor
or
Finance
way.
It's
a
means
to
consider
allocating
additional
funds,
Implement
Statewide
minimum
salary
scale.
A
So
this
one
I'm
sure,
there's
probably
a
lot
of
questions.
I
didn't
know
how
we
would
go
on
this
one,
but
I
wanted
to
include
it
since
it
was
one
that
was
recommended.
A
There
is
an
issue
here
that
I
was
going
to
have
staff
I
think
talk
about.
Is
this
the
one
with
the
the
last
two
lines
and
about
putting
it
in
the
report.
J
J
The
idea
wasn't
that
they
couldn't
be
made
more
frequently
than
biannually
so,
for
example,
annually
just
the
recommendation
was
at
least
by
annually.
The
districts
could
do
quality
increases
more
often
than
that.
If
they
wish
to.
A
So
what
are
your
thoughts
on
this
one
I,
we'll
start
with
Senator
buck.
B
Thank
you,
chair,
Dennis
I'm
a
little
bit
worried
about
this
one,
just
because
the
funding
does
not
necessarily
keep
up
with
the
cola
requirements
in
this.
So
that's
just
alarming
being
a
district
leader
and
knowing
that
you
know
have
certain
threshold
and
that
you're
dependent,
then
on
the
funding
to
be
coming
in
to
cover
this.
C
Thank
you,
chair,
Dennis
I.
Just
want
some
clarification
on
that,
because
I
I
could
I
do
believe
that
I
heard
someone
speak
about.
J
F
A
A
I
think
that,
as
we
continue
to
to
make
changes
to
how
we
fund
education
and
revenue
and
stuff
I
think
makes
it
easier
to
talk
about
this.
But
if
we
just
just
to
get
a
statement
saying
that
we
should
be
at
this
I,
don't
know
if
we're
ready
for
that.
Yet,
but
I'm
I,
don't
know
I
I
kind
of
wanted
to
hear
other
thoughts
on
this
one.
A
Let
me
ask
staff
if,
if
we
want
this
information
to
be,
maybe
in
our
final
report
or
something
I
mean,
is
that
something
we
could
just
include
saying
that
you
know
this
is
a
recommendation
that
came
to
us
on
what
you
know.
They
feel
this.
These
Statewide
minimum
salary
should
be
and
that
you
know
something
to
possibly
be
considered,
but
not
necessarily
making
a
recommendation
from
us.
A
J
Thank
you,
Mr
Asher
killing
committee
Council.
Yes,
sir,
this
was
a
report
that
was
given
to
the
committee
by
the
teacher
recruitment
task
force,
as
required
by
law.
So
presumably
the
the
committee
report
for
this
committee
at
the
end
of
the
session
would
include
that
information
received
from
the
teacher,
Recruitment
and
Retention
task
force
so
that
that
recommendation
would
be
in
there,
regardless
of
whether
this
committee
takes
actions
on
action
on
it
or
sends
a
letter
to
anyone
about
it.
All.
B
Thank
you,
chair
Dennis
I,
like
the
idea
of
some
of
this
I.
Think
it's
important,
though,
that
we
point
out
that
twelve
thousand
dollars
on
top
of
that
forty
one
thousand
is
purrs
benefit
that
is
actually
I,
know
they
say
without,
but
it's
just
being
transparent,
then
that
twelve
thousand
dollars
is
actually
what
that
contract
is
going
to
cost.
In
addition
for
pers
enrollment
I
guess
you
could
say,
and
on
top
of
the
41
277.
A
A
A
Item
number
43,
expand,
teaching
and
training,
Career
and
Technical
education
programs.
Send
a
letter
to
the
governor
in
finance.
Ways
means
to
encourage
investment,
expanding
availability
of
CTE
and
Technical
education
programs.
A
Okay
and
all
the
other
stuff,
that's
in
that
paragraph
about
dual
enrollment
and
stuff
like
that
for
career
and
Tech,
everyone,
okay,
with
that
one,
okay,
44
pay
for
special
categories
or
incentives,
send
letters
the
governor,
Finance
consider
providing
special
incentive
pay
to
existing
teachers,
including,
but
unlimited
Merit
or
longevity
pay.
A
That
was
from
the
tra,
but
it
also
from
our
our
own
member
Alexis
Hansen
made
a
recommendation
there.
We,
okay
with
sending
that
recommendation.
G
A
G
I
A
A
We
have
a
motion
from
Meister
build
reaction
from
Senator
dondero
Loop.
Any
further
discussion
on
the
motion,
all
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
motion
carries.
Let's
go
back
to
that
one
just
because
I
said
we
would
and
we
never
got
25.
so
25,
which
was
the
2020.
A
A
Well,
we
have
some
that
want
to
do
it
and
some
that
don't
right,
let's
just
I
guess
we
got
to
have
at
least
one
vote
where
we
can
the
so,
let's
see
I'll,
entertain
emotion
and
see
where
we
go
from
there.
A
A
A
Relating
to
education
funding,
so
now
we
talked
about
all
that
stuff.
We
wanted
them
to
fund.
So
now,
let's
talk
about
some
of
the
things
that
that
we
were
talked
about
as
far.
E
A
We
know
we
can't.
We
can't
tell
a
future
legislation
legislation,
let's
just
like
this
legislatures
there
we
go
okay,
what
to
do,
but
one
thing
that,
as
we
were
developing
the
new
funding
formula,
we
developed
it
based
on
a
10-year
plan.
We
never
really
do
that
around
here.
We
always
do
things
in
two
years
and
it
makes
it
really
difficult
to
do
things
if
we
don't
think
about
the
future.
A
A
If
that
continues
also
during
that
same
period
of
time,
that
would
raise
an
additional
billion
dollars,
which
would
actually
raise
approximately
two
billion
dollars
over
that
10-year
period,
which
would
put
us
in
in
a
much
higher
place
than
we
are
now
as
far
as
funding
compared
to
others
and
would
put
us
some
in
where
the
commission
on
funding
commissioned
on
on
education
funding,
you
know
has
said
that
we
need
to
be
at
so.
A
I
think
this
is
a
a
good
statement.
If,
if
you
know,
if
we
want
to
do
all
those
other
things
that
we
want,
that
we've
talked
about,
we
need
to
figure
out
ways
to
increase,
and
these
are
one
way
is,
with
the
new
funding
plan,
we're
going
to
get
some
additional
funding
without
raising
any
additional
revenue
and,
in
this
case,
we're
asking
the
legislature
to
continue
to
add
200
in
the
budget
every
every
every
year.
D
Thank
you
chair,
so
200
million
well
I'm.
Sorry,
let
me
look
here:
200
million
every
year
for
10
years,
so
making
me
think
where,
where
we're
going
to
get
the
money,
do
we
know
the
status
of
the
initiative
petition
for
the
gaming
tax
I
know
that
there
had
been
some
question
over
it
being
pulled
during
the
last
session
in
lieu
of
some
legislation
and
and
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
is
it
before.
E
D
The
Secretary
of
State
still
going
forward
with
it
I
mean
wondering
where
the
money
is
going
to
come
from
and
I
know
that
was
on
the
table
at
one
point.
So
just
looking
for
an
update
on
if
we're
looking
for
money,
what's
the
status
of
the
initiative
petition,
is
it
going
to
be
on
the
ballot?
Has
anything
been
decided
just
looking
for
some
Direction
so.
A
A
couple
things
first,
let
me
start
with
a
commission
on
school
funding.
One
of
their
charges
is
also
to
come
up
with
ways
to
come
up
with
additional
Revenue,
so
they're
making
recommendations
on
how
to
do
that,
and
you
know
they
kind
of
talked
about
that
at
the
last
meeting,
where
they
made
a
presentation
which
could
include
various
things
which
included
I,
think
increasing
sales
tax
and
some
other
things.
So
there
are
going
to
be
some
proposals
for
that
now.
A
Okay.
So
it's
going
to
take
a
minute,
we'll
look
that
up
so
I
think
what
this
particular
letter
I
think
what
this
is
just
saying
is.
We
think
that
the
legislature
needs
to
commit
to
increasing
funding
for
education
and
following
recommendations
that
that
have
been
given.
You
know
from
our
commission
that
looked
at
this.
That
said,
this
is
where
we
need
to
be,
and
so,
if
we
want
to
increase
these
other
programs
and
salary
and
all
that
we've
got
to
do
something
in
so
this
is
just
suggesting
that
we
follow
that
10-year
plan.
Yeah.
D
D
I'm
sorry
to
be
a
thorn.
Thank
you
chair
on
this
one
I
I,
just
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
supportive
of
the
letter,
because
you
know
owning
a
business
and
looking
at
financial
statements
all
the
time.
If
I
don't
know
where
what
my
receivables
are.
I
I
cannot,
in
good
conscience,
be
recommending
this
kind
of
expenditure
when
I'm
not
confident
in
what
my
receivables
are.
So
unless
I
have
more
clarity
on
that
I
I'm
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
support
a
letter
to
the
governor
or
Finance
in
Ways
and
Means.
A
Okay
and
the
other
thing
I
want
to
point
out
that
you
know.
Obviously,
this
letter
is
asking
Governor,
Finance
Way's
means
to
consider
adding
addition.
It's
not
saying
I
mean
we're
not
requiring
them
to
do
that.
I
think
having
a
goal
is
something
that
we
have
not
had
in
the
past
a
specific
goal
for
how
we're
going
to
increase
funding.
We
we
always
talk
about.
A
We
want
to
do
all
those
things,
but
how
do
we
increase
funding
I
think
we
have
to
have
a
commitment
to
that
and
then,
if
we're
committed
to
that,
then
we
will
find
you
know
we
either
have
to
make
prior
prioritize.
That
are
you
know
that
we
want
to
spend
it
on
education
versus
something
else,
or
we
have
to
find
ways
to
increase
revenue
and
I.
Think
that
just
puts
you
know
that
that
forward
Senator
buck.
A
So
that
that's
part
of
the
new
funding
plan
that
that
they
receive
money
that
they
have
to
show
that
they
have
to
show
that
they're
increasing
student
achievement
so
I
mean
that's.
However,
we're
doing
that
now
that
that
that
that
doesn't
change,
and
you
know,
obviously,
if
we're
going
to
put
more
money
into
education,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
going
to
get
results
right.
A
C
Thank
you,
chair,
I
I.
Don't
we
might
need
to
wait
and
I
don't
know.
We
might
need
to
wait
for
the
commission
on
school
funding
to
make
those
recommendations.
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
I'm,
just
wondering
if
we
send
this
letter
in
and
then
the
commission
has
the
same
recommendations.
That
would
be
good,
but
if
they
have
different
recommendations
they
won't
be
in
that
letter.
So
I
don't
know
I
I'm
wondering
if,
if
this
is
the
right
I'm
all
about
more
funding,
I
just
I'm
just
wondering
if
it's
logistically
the
right
order
right.
A
And
I
I
believe
that
I
think
this
one
came
from
how
I
met,
but
she
I
think
she
was
referencing
and
I.
Don't
I
think
the
commission
on
school
funding
didn't
have
they
made
some
recommendations
concerning
the
10-year
that,
in
order
to
actually
I,
don't
know
that
they
made
a
recommendation?
What
they
said
in
their
report
was
that,
if
we
did
this
over
10
years
that
we
would
increase
funding
by
a
billion
dollars,
I
think
is
what
I
think
that's
where
that
came
from.
C
A
E
A
Okay?
So
why
don't
we
respond
to
one
of
the
questions
that
came
up
and
I'm
going
to
have
Mr
Killian
respond
to
that.
J
Thank
you,
Mr
Asher
killing
committee
Council.
So
in
response
to
the
question
from
assembly
woman
Hansen
about
the
status
of
the
initiative,
petitions,
the
Supreme
Court
did
hear
that
case
on
June,
28
or
well.
It
heard
the
case
before
June
28th,
but
on
June
28th
issued
a
ruling
saying
that
those
initiative
petitions
had
to
be
withdrawn
from
the
ballot,
so
those
will
not
be
appearing
on
the
ballot
in
2022.
At
this
point,
those
initial
petitions
are
effectively
dead.
A
D
J
Thank
you,
Mr
chair
Azure,
Killian
committee
Council.
So,
yes,
the
core
of
that
dispute
was
whether
the
Constitution's
requirement
for
the
Secretary
of
State
to
place
initiative.
Petitions
on
the
ballot
contemplated
the
existence
of
a
mechanism
for
the
requesters
of
an
initiative
petition
to
withdraw
their
initiative
petition
and
at
trial
and
District
Court.
J
The
the
district
court
found
that
the
statutory
scheme
that
allowed
for
withdrawal
was
a
mechanism
of
carrying
out
the
Secretary
of
State's
ministerial
duty
to
place
things
on
the
ballot,
so
that
there
was
no
constitutional
conflict
and
that
those
initiative
petitions
could
be
withdrawn
and
then
the
Supreme
Court
and
their
their
ruling
on
June
28th
affirmed
that
position
that
it
does
not
conflict
with
the
Secretary
of
State's
constitutional
duty
to
place
things
on
the
ballot
for
a
statutory
scheme
to
allow
for
them
to
be
withdrawn.
A
A
Why
don't
I,
let's
put
I'm,
going
to
put
a
question
mark
about
that?
We'll
come
back
to
that,
give
step
time
to
to
see
if
they
can
find
that
under
item
46,
monitor
funding,
including
a
statement
in
the
final
report,
encouraging
legislature
to
continue
monitoring
the
1.2
billion
in
our
funding
to
determine
whether
and
how
it's
helping
students,
particularly
at
risk.
Anybody
questions
on
those
thank
everybody.
Yes,
the
the
C
Senator
buck.
A
Other
comments:
okay,
47
and
zoom
school
program
funding,
including
a
statement
in
the
in
our
final
report
regarding
the
importance
of
Zoom
school
program
funding
and
the
work
of
the
Pre-K
Zoom
program
and
urges
continuance.
I.
Think
the
important
here
is
that
Zoom
schools
have
had
some
really
good
success
and
with
the
new
funding
formula,
even
though
we
don't
have
that
side,
funding
for
Zoom
I
think
the
the
ex
to
expect
them
to
continue
these
good
programs,
even
with
the
new
I.
A
A
.
all
right,
we
have
number
48
this
one
actually
is
a
little
bit
more
complicated.
It's
a
lot
more
things
in
here,
but
this
is
sending
a
letter
to
the
government
Finance
in
ways.
It
means
to
consider
increasing
the
allocation
of
funding
to
education
and
prioritize
to
use
those
funds
in
the
following
areas:
administrator,
professional
learning,
hiring
Educators,
Mentor
programs,
affordable
housing,
supports
for
Recruitment
and
Retention
efforts
and
support
educator
pipeline
retention.
A
So
we're
going
to
not
do
that
one
and
then
49.
Dual
enrollment
include
a
statement
in
the
in
our
final
report
regarding
the
recommendations
by
the
CSF
to
maintain
funding
at
adjusted
base
for
pupil
amounts
for
students
taking
dual
enrollment
courses.
A
A
Okay
and
then
from
the
commission
of
school
funding
send
letter
to
the
governor
Finance
ways.
It
means
couraging
the
consideration
of
additional
funding
to
the
CSF
due
to
a
broader
scope
of
activities
and
responsibilities
required
by
the
CSF
This
was
one
of
the
things
that
came
up.
Was
that,
let's
say
during
the
session,
they
really
want
the
commission
to
to
chime
in
they.
A
There
was
no
funding
for
them
to
meet
during
the
session,
but
only
during
the
interim,
so
this
would
be
a
recommendation
that
they
consider
funding
some
additional
as
well
as
additional
meetings
during
interim,
if
needed,
specific,
they
couldn't
even
meet
right
right,
I
think
if
I
think
the
way
currently
they
because
they
don't
have
funding
during
like
the
session.
If
there
was
a
specific
thing
we
wanted
them,
we
didn't
provide
funding
for
them
to
be
able
to
meet
so
yeah,
so
I
think
that
would
be.
This
is
a
good
thing.
A
Any
questions,
yes,
some
enhancing.
Thank.
D
You
chair
just
a
comment:
yes,
I
I
was
this
really
was
oppressed
upon
me
when
he
testified
that
you
know
this
whole
transition
over
to
pupil-centered
funding.
We
really
need
this
commission
to
help
us
as
we
you
know,
move
forward,
and
so
this
is
is
definitely
I'm
in
big
support
of
this
definitely
needed.
So
we
can
have
the
feedback
we
need
and
they
can
be
taken
care
of
the
way
you
know
without
the
the
confinements
that
they
find
themselves
in
now.
So.
A
D
A
E
Thank
you,
Mr
chair
for
the
record.
Adam
draws
with
the
fiscal
analysis.
Division
I
would
just
note
that
on
the
committee's
July
29
2022
meeting
chair
Hobbs
did
make
a
presentation
regarding
national
average
funding
for
K-12
education
and
in
that
he
recommended
it
or
discussed
a
10-year
phase-in
of
increased
funding.
It
doesn't
necessarily
align
with
the
200
million
dollars,
but
it
does.
You
know,
show
that
gradual
increase
over
a
10-year
period,
which
is
similar
to
the
recommendation
before
the
committee
today.
A
A
G
A
G
A
Sure
that
we
could
that
we
could
do
and
if
we
didn't
want
to
specifically
even
commit
to
necessarily
the
the
the
number
but
to
commit
to
the
to
the
the
concept
of
getting
us
to
that
right,
I
mean
that
we
support
that
and
they
could
I
mean
because
they
can
see
what
whatever
that
is,
but
I
think
somewhere.
We
need
to
I
think
if
we
can,
even
though
we
can't
bind
future
legislatures
I,
think
the
committing
to
a
concept
of
in
you
know
gradually
increasing
education.
Funding
I
think
would
be
good.
B
Yeah,
that's
that's
what
that's
what
I
was
going
to
say
I
would
have
because
I
too
had
a
little
concern
about
having
a
specific
dollar
amount
in
there.
So
if
it's
more
that
we're
committing
to
a
concept
instead
of
this
specific
amount,
I
think
that
would
be.
That
would
give
me
more
Comfort
than
just
having
you
know.
This
is
what
we're
recommending.
A
Okay,
so
I'm
just
going
to
ask
Mr
Kelly
and
how
would
we,
you
kind
of
heard
the
discussion
there
I
mean?
What
could
we
I
mean?
What
kind
of
what
the
language
look
like
in
in
the
is
this
the
approp
I
mean?
Would
it
the
letter
would
go
to?
Is
that
the
appropriate
I
think
there
probably
is,
but.
J
E
J
I
think
that
the
verbiage
would
be
kind
of
replacing
what's
there
with
the
idea
of
to
consider
increasing
the
investment
in
our
education
system
every
year
for
the
next
10
years
in
an
incremental
amount,
consistent
with
the
recommendations
of
the
commission
on
school
funding.
In
order
to
reach
the
national
average.
A
Okay.
So
let's
do
that?
Okay,
so
with
that
I
will
take
a
an
emotion
from
Bill
Brack
from
Vice,
chair
Bill
rexro.
Thank.
G
You
chair
Dennis,
so
on
F
relating
to
school
funding,
we
are
doing
45
per
the
way.
Council
just
recommended
it
46
47!
Oh
wait.
G
Without
we
did
that
before
so
45,
the
way
Council
recommended
46
47
we're
not
doing
48.,
49
and
50.
A
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
from
Senator
Don
Daryl
Loop.
Any
this
further
discussion,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
I
need
post,
saying
a
motion
carries
all
right,
so
we
are
to
let's
see
I
I
want
to
take.
Let's
just
take
a
two
minute
break,
don't
and
I
mean
don't
go
far.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
set
to
be
able
to
move
for
moving
forward
on
the
bdr
recommendation.
So
so
we
will
be
in
recess
for
two
minutes.
A
Okay,
let's,
let's
go
back
on
the
record,
we're
back
from
our
short
two-minute
thing
that
turned
into
longer
all
right:
we're
on
page
14
recommendations
for
drafting
legislation
proposals.
So
this
is
where
we're
going
to
consider.
Bdrs
I
think
we'll
treat
this
similar
to
what
we
just
did,
except
that
these
are
going
to
be
built.
Bdr
recommendations,
keep
in
mind
that
we
have
10
10
bdrs
that
we
can
do.
However,
some
of
these
can
be
combined
into
one.
A
So
it's
not
like
we
in
each
one
of
these
individually
has
to
be
done
and,
in
addition,
we're
going
to
consider
the
issue
that
we
talked
about
earlier.
That
had
to
do
with
the
culturally
sensitive
graduation
issue
that
talking
about
that
as
a
possible
bdr
or
to
be
included
in
one
of
the
bdrs
one
other,
and
so
we
do
have
one
additional
bdr
that
we've
been
granted
that
we
could
take
up
at
our
October
meeting.
A
But
so
anyway.
So,
let's
go
through
these
rather
than
let's
go
through
all
of
them
and
have
the
discussion
and
see
if
we
come
to,
because
we
can
combine
things
as
we
go
and
then
see
where
we're
at
so
that
we
don't
what
I
didn't
want
to
do
is
vote
on
and
then
when
we
run
out
of
bdrs
we're
done
right.
A
So
so,
let's,
let's
start
with
g51
public-private
Partnerships,
which
is
proposes
legislation
to
codify
university-based
public
private
Partnerships
using
blanket
language,
including
a
language
about
qualifying
standards
and
cost
sharing
for
facilities
and
programs.
I'm
going
to
ask
staff.
Is
there
additional
information?
A
My
understanding
with
this
was
to
create
kind
of
blanket
language
that
would
allow
them
to
to
where
they
currently
can't
create
these
relationships
without
having
some
kind
of
legislation.
Is
that
correct,
Mr,
Killian.
J
Thank
you,
Mr
chair
ashokilian
committee
Council.
So
yes,
this,
the
the
presenter
on
this
was
referring
back
to
SP
342
from
2021,
which
was
the
bill
that
allowed
the
Board
of
Regents
to
enter
into
an
agreement
with
a
private
entity,
whether
for-profit
or
not-for-profit,
to
further
health,
education
programs
and
medical
programs.
I.
J
Think
that's
what
ultimately
wound
up
with
you
and
I
are
partnering
with
Renown
right,
and
the
concept
of
this
bill
would
be
to
do
something
similar
without
it
being
limited
just
to
health,
education
or
medical
programs
to
create
blanket
Authority
for
universities
within
the
State
University
to
enter
into
these
kind
of
agreements
in
any
area.
A
A
Okay,
so
I'm
going
to
put
that
as
a
possible
one
to
do.
I,
don't
I,
don't
I!
Think
the
next
one
we
need
to
consider
is
number
53,
which
is
the
name
image
likeness
contract
disclosure
requirements.
This
came
from
the
committee
to
conduct
an
international
study
concerning
the
use
of
name
image
and
likeness,
something
that
they
thought
was
important.
A
I
think
all
the
specifics
of
a
bdr
would
come
out
of
whatever
you
know
we
decide
on,
but
this
kind
of
helps
to
keep
track
of
of
how
much
compensation
they're
getting
as
determined
by
the
let's
see
pose
legislation
to
amend
NRS
398
330
regarding
student
athletes
disclosures
to
instead
require
an
entity
which
engages
in
Nia
deals
that
provide
compensation
to
any
form
to
one
or
more
student
athletes,
with
an
aggregate
value
equal
to
or
greater
than
10
000
or
different
amount
determined
by
Co
and
E
to
be
responsible
for
disclosing
those
deals
to
the
student
athletes
institutions.
A
J
Thank
you,
Mr
chair
Killian
committee
Council,
so
this
this
proposed
legislation
from
the
nil
committee
basically
had
three
different
parts.
One
is
currently
the
student
athletes
themselves
are
required
to
disclose
every
single
deal,
and
the
first
part
of
this
would
be
to
change
that
so,
rather
than
the
duty
being
on
the
student
athletes
to
disclose
the
duty
would
be
on
the
business,
that's
providing
them
with
compensation
to
disclose,
but
that
Duty
would
apply
only
if
that
business
does
an
aggregate
of
ten
thousand
dollars
or
more
of
deals
with
any
number
of
athletes.
J
That
would
have
the
responsibility
for
keeping
that
information,
and
then
the
final
piece
of
this
recommendation
was
to
require
these
businesses
that
this
facilitate
nil
deals
to
register
with
the
secretary
of
state
in
order
to
facilitate
the
reporting
requirements
in
the
first
part
of
the
bill.
Thank
you.
Mr,
chair,
okay,.
F
Yes,
just
a
brief
question
was
the
recommendation
because
it
seems
like
a
lot
of
bureaucracy
was.
This
was
the
recommendations
that
the
committee
came
up
with
that
there
needed
to
be
all
this
included.
I,
you
know
I
anticipated,
it
would
just
be
contractual
between
the
student
athlete
and
and
whoever
the
sponsors
or
organization
was
so.
Is
there
an
I
guess
I
just
need
to
know
the
necessity
for,
for
this
Mr.
A
J
Thank
you
Mr
chair
after
killing
committee
Council,
so
this
was
the
recommendation
from
the
nil
committee
and
I
believe.
In
the
committee's
view,
this
was
actually
stepping
back
the
level
of
bureaucracy,
because
currently
every
student
athlete
is
required
to
individually
disclose
every
deal
to
the
institutions,
and
this
would
instead
not
put
that
responsibility
on
the
student
athletes,
but
rather
on
the
businesses
paying
the
student
athletes
to
to
disclose
themselves,
which
would
reduce
the
total
number
of
disclosures
and
I
think
probably
make
it
a
little
more
manageable
than
currently.
You
know.
J
Every
athlete
that
gets
a
free
t-shirt
has
to
disclose.
E
C
A
A
A
A
A
This
was
recommended
by
summer
Stevens
in
which
he
gave
her
and
I
think
maybe
stop
could
explain
this
a
little
better,
but
I
think
I
think
we're
requiring
reporting,
but
it's
not
aligning
with
the
budget
and
assessment.
So
I
think
that's
what
she
was
saying
if
we
could
somehow
I
think
that
something
that
definitely
should
be
looked
at
anything
we
can
do
to
make
it
easier
for
school
districts
because
we're
asking
a
lot
of
them.
A
I
think
that
the
something
that
should
be
looked
at
but
staff
do
we
have
any
additional
info
on
that
other
than
to
just
brought
that
up
in
her
comments,
foreign
anytime
I
I
always
find
that
the
folks
that
are
out
there
doing
this
usually
have
the
best
solutions
to
stuff
and
so
I,
so
I
think
that's
something
we
might
consider
so.
A
Okay,
so
I'll
put
that
as
a
possibility.
Number
55
there's
respect
Educators
act
proposal,
let's
just
says:
creating
Statewide
monitoring
committee
comprised
of
Educators
legislative
Representatives.
Indeed,
to
review
the
safety
well-being
of
Educators,
including
analyzing,
the
impact
of
relevant
laws
and
ensure
consistent
implementation
of
student
discipline
seems
reasonable,
but
questions
or
concerns.
A
I'm
going
to
leave
that
on
56
support
professionals,
Workforce
pipeline,
propose,
let's
say
creating
a
Statewide,
Recruitment
and
Retention
task
force
for
educating
support
professionals
similar
to
the
state
trra
task
force
to
review
ways
in
which
Nevada
can
further
recruit
and
retain
support
professionals
is
that
something
we
want
to
support?
Is
there
a
need
for
that.
F
I
think
so,
and
I
would
just
also
like
to
add
that
when
we
are
saying
support,
professionals
we're
not
just
referring
to
what
people
may
think
of
as
a
classroom,
Aid
we're
also
talking
you
know.
School
districts
also
require
Journeymen
that
you
know
in
skill
trades
in
sophisticated
professions
to
to
maintain
facilities
and
transportation
as
well.
So.
A
I
mean
we're
talking
bus
drivers
right
custodials,.
A
Especially
the
parts
for
the
older
schools,
questions
or
other
comments.
Okay,
I'm
gonna
leave
that
one
on
okay
number
57
meetings
of
the
commission
on
school
funding
proposed
legislation
to
amend,
NRS,
387
1246,
to
authorize
CFS
to
meet
outside
of
July
of
an
odd
numbered
year
and
September
30th
to
subsequent
even
numbered
year.
Only
if
requested
by
a
chair
of
the
senate
or
assembly
committee
on
education
Finance,
where
it's
been
during
the
legislative
session.
A
A
Any
suggest
any
comments
there.
We
all
in
agreement
on
that
one:
okay,
I'm
not
going
to
take
up
58,
because
they're
still
actually
working
on
that
the
commission
on
on
school
funding.
As
far
as
this,
the
CPI,
because
even
they
haven't
decided
yet
what
what
works
there
and
there's
a
chance
that
we
could
add
that
in
our
October
meeting
with
that
other
bdr.
If
not
that's
something
that
definitely
you
know.
A
One
of
the
Committees
could
also
bring
section
59
virtual
schools
proposal
station
to
amend
nrs387.1214
to
fund
both
online
district
and
charter
schools
at
the
Statewide
base
per
pupil
amount
rather
than
the
adjusted
base
per
pupil
amount.
That
was
a
recommendation
that
came
from
the
guy
Hobbs,
the
chair
of
the
commission
on
school
funding.
F
Yes,
thank
you
chair.
First,
it
was
my
understanding.
I
thought
that
the
charter
schools
were
brought
up
under
the
new
funding
formula,
but
my
question
is
to
fund
an
online
school
at
the
same
level
as
a
physical
school
when
online
schools
do
not-
and
this
isn't
about
the
need
for
online
schools-
we
we
do
have
a
need
for
them,
but
in
delivery
of
service
online
schools
are
not
taxed
with
such
things
as
Transportation
Food,
Service,
Sports,
Arts
custodial
cleaning.
F
A
A
E
Thank
you,
Mr
chair
for
the
record.
Adam
draws
with
the
LCD
fiscal
analysis
division
just
to
clarify
currently
online
charter
schools,
which
is
what
we're
talking
about
receive
the
average
Statewide
base
per
pupil
amount.
But
there
was
a
discrepancy
there
in
that
virtual
school
district
schools
we're
receiving
the
adjusted
base
per
pupil
amount,
so
this
would
make
both
online
Charters
and
online
school
districts
pupils
receive
the
same
Statewide
base
per
pupil
amount
and
align
them
in
that
manner.
A
Yeah,
so
it's
confusing,
so
it's
confusing,
but
it
right
so
so
what
this
is
doing
is
bringing
the
online
the
that
are
sponsored
by
school
districts
in
line
with
the
online
that
are
sponsored
by
the
charter
Authority,
so
they
so
the
online
ones
wouldn't
get
the
adjusted
base.
They
would
get
the
same
amount
to
the
other,
so
it
would
reduce
the
amount
that
the
school
district
wants
again
I.
Guess
it's
really
any
other
discussion
on
that
one:
okay,
okay,
so
those
are
all
the
bdrs.
Now,
let's
look
at
the
studies,
real
quick.
A
Right
because
they're
also
the
the
studies
also
have
to
go
into
a
bdr.
So
that's
the
only
reason
I
want
to
consider
those
so
that
we
can
go
back
and
see
if
we
can
combine
any
of
these
on
ones
or
that
or
we're
gonna
have
to
decide
which
ones
not
to
do.
If
we
got
too
many
60
is
evidence-based.
Mental
health
and
wellness
programs.
A
We
had
a
study
of
educator
workload,
proposalization
study,
educator
workload,
including
statutory
and
regulatory
requirements,
better
understand
workload,
study
of
teacher
licensure
testing
requirements,
proposed
legislation
to
commission
and
find
a
study
and
manager's
license
your
requirements.
Practice
course
study
skills
for
educators
tests
and
those
kind
of
things.
A
That's
it
right,
okay,
and
that's
it
so
on
these
particular
studies.
Any
of
these
that
we
yes
similar
bill
by
astronaut.
G
Thank
you,
chair,
looking
at
61,
62
and
63.
Those
seem
like
they
could
actually
all
be
in
one
when
you're
looking
at
policy
strategies
that
work,
educated
workload
and
the
licensor
testing
I
I
think
we
would
that
does
that
work.
A
The
only
question
is
the
61:
is
it
dealing
more
with
specific
student
groups,
not
so
much
teachers.
A
F
A
We
could
could
we
do
all
yeah
so
so
we
could
do
one
bill
that
says
we
want
to
do
these
studies
because
remember
the
way
it
works
now
with
the
interim
is
that
we
charge
the
interim
committee
to
do
the
study,
and
so,
if
we
have
multiple,
we
could
have
one
bill.
That
says
we
want
you
to
do
these
studies
next
interim.
Do
these
studies
right
is
that
Mr
Killian?
Is
that
accurate.
J
Thank
you,
Mr
Asher,
killing,
Community
Council.
Yes,
all
of
these
studies
could
be
combined
into
one
bill,
even
though
they're
dealing
with
slightly
different
subject,
subjects
they're
all
studies
relating
to
education,
so
they
would
fit
within
the
Constitutional
single
subject
Rule
and
then,
with
the
new
joint
nrm
standing
committee
structure.
There
are
no
longer
separate
study
committees.
All
studies
get
assigned
to
one
of
the
joint
endram
standing
committees
to
perform,
so
any
of
these
that
were
approved
ostensibly,
would
be
assigned
to
the
Joint
interim
standing
committee
on
education
next
to
nrm
to
perform.
A
F
You,
the
question
would
be:
would
they
still
if
they
were
at
under
one
bdr
assigned
to
one
interim
committee?
Would
they
still
be
three
separate
studies
assigned
because
again
having
three
different
groups
or
subcommittees
task
force?
However,
it's
going
to
be
research
is
that
what
would
still
happen.
J
A
I'm
sure
the
likes
legislative
language
would
be
clear
that
how
not
how
that
would
be-
and
you
know,
of
course
they
would
have
to
be
funded
somehow,
although
we
did
get
studies
this
time
that
did
not
really
get
funded,
but
I
mean.
As
far
as
external
funding,
we
were
able
to
use
staff
to
do
some
things,
but
in
the
past
we
we
might
have
funding
like
to
hire
a
contractor
or
a
consultant
to
do
some
things,
so
that
still
would
have
to
be
determined
but
I.
A
A
That's
what
Vice
chair,
Bill
Ray
Axel,
run.
G
A
A
That's
correct,
I
mean
you
know
it's
a
bdr
and
we
know
how
those
can
get
changed
all
the
time
so
yeah,
okay,
so
I'm
not
hearing
anybody
saying
that
they're,
okay
with
leaving
all
these
in
okay.
So
let
me
see
how
many
do
we
have
that
we
have
one
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven
I'm
counting
seven
is
that
which
eight.
J
A
G
Since
we
are
under
the
10,
I
would
be
okay
with
including
the
the
cultural
I.
Don't
know
how
we
said
it
folks
during
graduation
to
be
able
to
wear
putting
that
in
statute.
It
sort
of
seems
like
something
we're
kind
of
doing
now,
and
it
would
be
I
have
no
problem
with
that
doing.
A
A
D
Thank
you
chair.
Is
it
too
late
to
suggest
a
study
I
brought
it
up
earlier
of?
If
we
I
guess
we
don't
have
any
left,
though
right
we
have
no
bdrs
left,
but.
D
D
Lot,
video
right
we're
going
to
call
it
okay.
Could
we
entertain
the
thought
of
studying
the
achievement
gaps
that
I
had
mentioned
earlier
in
regards
to
all
students
between
graduation
rates
and
proficiency
rates,
which
also
I
think
helps
us
kind
of
get
to
the
problems
of
what
we
can
do
to
support
these
students?
If
we
were
to
have
such
a
study
so
just
putting
that
out,
there.
A
So
we
just
need
to
probably
clarify
exactly
what
it
is
so
that
we
can
have
a
discussion
about
that.
So
are
you
suggesting
achievement
Gap
specific.
D
Thank
you
chair.
Yes,
in
regards
to,
as
I've
looked
at
the
data
across
the
state
Urban
rural
it,
it
kind
of
is
a
consistency
that
I
see
where,
since
20
2014
15,
graduation
rates
have
gone
up,
but
proficiencies
have
come
down,
and
this
is
according
to
that.
You
know
the
nde
portal,
the
Nevada
report
card,
so
I'm
just
curious.
If
we're
trying
to
find
out
I'd
be
curious
to
find
out
in
high
school,
why
are
the
math
scores
at
26
percent
on
average?
D
Why
are
the
the
English
language
arts
scores
in
the
30,
percentile
or
I'm?
Sorry
in
the
40
percentile,
so
you
probably
are
better
at
helping
me
figure
out
how
we
craft
it,
but
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
have
us
get
to
the
root
of
as
I
talk
to
parents,
they're
frustrated
wanting
to
know
why
kids
are
struggling
with
reading.
Why
they're
struggling
with
math
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
factors
and
I
think
that's
what
we
really
need
to
look
into.
D
A
J
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
Asher,
Killian
committee,
Council,
so
I
think
generally.
That
would
be
a
request
for
a
study
into
the
disparity
between
graduation
rates
and
proficiency
rates
and
any
disparity
between
trends
of
graduation
rates
and
proficiency
rates,
which
would
include
an
investigation
to
determine
any
factors
that
may
be
responsible
for
the
disparity
between
those
rates.
A
Okay,
so
we
can
include
that
in
the
in
the
studies,
one
anything
on
any
of
the
other
ones
that
we
talked
about.
A
A
G
Okay,
so
I
will
make
a
motion
that
we
recommendations
for
drafting
of
legislative
proposals
relating
is
that,
right
to
higher
education,
we
have
51
53
54.
55,
56,
57
59.
G
A
Okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
from
Vice
chair
bilbrex,
we're
on
second
from
Senator
Don
Daryl,
Loop,
discussion
on
the
motion
and
before
we
do
that
the
question
the
staff
asked
is,
if
that
included
the
at
the
graduation
attire.
A
Correct
and
you're,
okay
with
that
as
a
second
Senator
Bandera
Loop
Okay.
So
so
with
the
clarification
that
it
includes
that
the
the
cultural
graduation
attire
further
discussion.
A
A
Just
because
we
we
need
to
make
one
decision
on
on
53
where
the
name
an
image
we
have
to
determine
who's
going
to.
Well,
we
have
to
tell
them
what
to
put
in
the
bill.
So
so
we
have
to
tell
them
where
What
entity
is
going
to
that
information
is
going
to
reside
right.
The
staff
can't
make
that
decision
without
us
telling
them.
C
Sorry
Mr
chair
that
isn't
a
disc
and
I'm
just
asking
for
clarification
and
have
a
dog
in
the
race
here
that
isn't
something
that
we
can
decide
and
make
a
decision
on
as
a
committee
when
we
hear
that
bill.
J
C
A
So
so
so
really
that
so
really
the
the
decision
here
is
like
do
we
want
inchi
to
be
responsible
for
it?
Do
we
want
and
I
mean
the
legislature
to
be
response?
Do
you
want
I
mean
I,
I,
guess
what
I
would
ask
Mr
Killian
is
what
are
our
options
here?
I
mean
what
are
the
most
obvious
options
here
that
for
this?
A
Oh,
yes,
okay,
Vice,
chair,
Bill,
Barry,
Axelrod.
G
Business
reporting,
and
so
the
Secretary
of
State
already
had
they
already
have
a
meth,
the
silver
Flume,
where
businesses
have
to
report,
wouldn't
it
make
sense,
I
mean,
and
once
again
this
is
open
to
change,
but
I
just
think
that
that
would
make
the
most
logical
sense
at
this
time.
But
just
because
your
already
businesses
are
already
using
that
portal.
A
Okay
and
I
I
believe,
as
it
says
in
here,
they're
going
to
have
to
register
to
the
office
of
the
secretary
of
state,
so
they're
already
going
to
know
who
these
are
entities
are
so
I.
That
would
make
sense
to
to
do
that.
So
is
everyone?
Okay
with
that?
Okay!
So
then,
let's
let's
go
back
and
take
a
motion.
A
A
Okay,
okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
before
us.
We
have
a
second
and
we
received
further
clarification
on
number
53
that
it
would
be
for
the
Secretary
of
State
that
we're
directing
stop
to
do
that
there
so
and.
A
Any
further
discussion
on
the
motion
that
includes
all
the
bvrs
that
we're
gonna
sponsor
through
this
committee,
not
hearing
any
all
right,
all
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
motion
carries
okay,
okay,
all
right!
Let
me
find
my
place
here.
A
The
next
item
is
item
agenda.
Item
number.
Eight
public
comment:
do
anyone
here
in
the
room
wishing
to
give
public
comment
we're
all
staring
at
the
one
person?
That's
here:
okay,
he's
not
coming
forward!
So
let's
go
to
Las
Vegas
Miss
Rudy.
If
we
do,
we
have
anyone
in
Las
Vegas
wishing
to
get
public
comment.
D
C
E
A
A
A
E
E
Apologies
for
the
sound
issues
we
do
have
a
few
in
two.
Please
proceed
caller
728
hi
good
afternoon.
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair
members
of
the
committee,
for
the
record.
This
is
Marla.
Can
you
hear
me
yeah.
E
Sorry
this
is
Marla
Marla,
McDade,
Williams
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
time
you
spent
today
going
through
these
important
recommendations.
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
moving
forward
a
bill.
Draft
related
to
cultural
attire
at
graduation.
I
think
it
will
help
ensure
Equitable
treatment
of
this
issue
throughout
the
state.
It
will
also
give
students
who
want
to
celebrate
their
culture
at
this
key
time
in
their
life,
help
them
feel
valued
by
the
education
system
from
which
they're
graduating.
So
thank
you
again
and
that
concludes
my
remarks.
E
All
over
the
last
three
digits
six,
five,
three
you're
unmuted
amazing
good
afternoon.
This
is
Dora
Martinez,
chair,
Dennis,
Vice,
chair
and
the
awesome
committee.
It's
been
there
all
day,
I've
been
with
you
all
day.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
the
visually
impaired
teachers,
I
think
it
was
part
C.
E
I
just
want
to
say
Mr
Senator
Dennis
that
I
failed
to
to
acknowledge
this
piece
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
and
I.
Don't
know
if
you
remember,
but
last
time
when
you
guys
had
the
meeting
I
I
kind
of
threw
Miss
Erdos
under
the
bus
regarding
the
inaccessible
documents
that
the
LCB
put
out.
They
are
all
doing
a
great
job,
but
I.
We
really
need
to
work
better
in
making
them
accessible.
E
A
E
A
Okay,
so
with
that,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
the
work
that
they
do.
I
know
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
during
the
last
10
meetings.
We
do
have
our
final
meeting
in
October,
which
will
consider
assembly
belt
231
of
the
22021
session,
which
requires
the
review
and
report
to
the
committee
on
recommendations
concerning
the
instruction
relating
to
the
Holocaust
and
other
genocides
I
believe
we
will
also
have
a
final
report
from
the
commission
on
school
funding
at
that
time.
A
I,
don't
anticipate
that
that
meeting
will
be
a
full
day
meeting
and
app
day.
So,
as
you
think
about
your
schedule,
I
think
we're
trying
to
look
at
that
first
first
week
and
we
have
first
week
of
October
and
we
have
some
recommended
days
and
possible
time.
So
if
you
would
respond
quickly
to
those
and
I
believe
that
that,
as
I
said,
that
meeting
will
be
probably
a
little
shorter,
but
since
I
have
all
of
you
here
in
the
room
at
the
time,
I
also
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
committee.
A
We've
done
a
lot
of
work,
we've
heard
a
lot
of
things
and
hopefully
the
the
information
that
you've
received
will
help
you
as
you
move
forward
into
session
and
consider
education
and
how
we
can
make
education
better
for
our
kids.
You
know
student
achievement
needs
to
be
our
number
one
priority
and
I
think
that
we've
talked
about
a
lot
of
things
today
that
could
help
improve
student
achievement
and
I.
Think
we've
made
some
good
recommendations
as
including
possible
legislation.
A
So
thank
you
all
for
for
all
the
work
that
that
you've
done
this
syndrome
and
yeah
Vice
chair,
Bill,
Bay,
axron,
and
everybody
that,
if
you,
if
you
guys,
want
to
make
any
comments,
I'll,
let.
G
You
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you,
chairman
Dennis,
you
have
been
a
great
leader
and
I
appreciate
you
involving
me
all
the
way
through
I,
even
during
session,
we
had
you
know,
weekly
meetings
to
talk
about
where
we're
moving
forward
and
and
this
institution
is
really
going
to
feel
the
loss
with
you
being
termed
out.
So
thank
you
for
guiding
us
and
really
just
showing
the
level-headedness
that
it
that
it
can
take.
Sometimes
in
these
meetings-
and
we
just
really
appreciate
you,
oh.
D
And
I
wanted
to
thank
you
myself
and
I.
Think
I
speak
for
others
as
well.
You've
been
so
fair
you've
been
such
a
gentleman
and
have
appreciated
your
professionalism
and
and
you're
a
good
example.
So
you
will
be
missed
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
service.
Thank
you
to
the
committee
and
to
my
colleagues
this
is
my
first
interim
committee
on
education
and
I've
learned
a
lot
so
and
thank
you,
Vice
chair
for
your
work
and
and

Us
in
the
assembly
as
well.
So
