Take Action: Nevada
Update: The Nevada governor has signed the transformative education package into law. The new laws will end seniority-based layoffs, establish fair and consistent teacher evaluations, and reform tenure. Next year and in the future, Nevada’s most effective teachers will stay in the classroom where they belong and Nevada’s students will have access to the best possible teachers.
Key Provisions Expected in Legislation
| Save Great Teachers
When teacher layoffs are necessary, the best teachers will stay in the classroom. Layoffs should be based on performance, not on seniority. Fair and Robust Evaluations At least 50% of teachers' and principals' evaluations should be based on how much academic progress their students make. Reform Tenure Job security shouldn't come before the interests of students. Governance Structures that Put Students' Interests First Where schools are failing, individual public officials at the state or city level should be ultimately accountable for school performance. |
