Educators across the valley continue to fight for funding to reduce class sizes, get the resources necessary for our students with special needs, and to secure the salaries they have earned and deserve.
Teachers and supporters rallied during a critical time during the Legislative Session — when lawmakers were deciding on the State’s education budget.
Lawmakers in Carson City ran and got elected on a platform of adequately funding education, and on Saturday, Southern Nevada decided to l show them that they have the support in the community that they need to make good on their commitments to Fund Our Schools NOW.
The Clark County Education Association represents more than 18,000 educators.
