Vote Nevada Supporters,

I apologize for the late hour, but the Las Vegas Aces won again tonight!

There are two important hearings tomorrow, Monday, May 29^th. It’s not a holiday for the legislature, so committee hearings and floor sessions will take place.

May 29th at 9:00 am, in Assembly Education, SB282 is on the agenda.  SB282 revises the roles of the School Organizational Teams in relation to each school’s principal and regarding the hiring of principals.  It also includes a provision to sweep carryover money above 5 percent of a school’s expenditures that is not spent within twenty-four months. 

Carryover money includes funds a school has in reserves when the principal cannot hire enough full-time teachers.  Because substitute teachers are paid less than regular teachers, the unspent salary dollars remain in a school’s account.

Due to the ongoing teacher shortage, schools with high numbers of full-time substitute teachers have substantial funds left over each year.  SB282 would sweep what it deems to be excess money into the school stabilization account to possibly be distributed to other schools after twenty-four months.  Our most at-risk students often attend schools with the highest number of long-term substitute teachers, so, the schools with the greatest needs could lose the most money.
