Governor Lombardo Introduces Nevada Accountability in Education Act

Joined by Interim Superintendent of Public Instruction Steve Canavero and Dr. Valeria Gurr, Senior Fellow at the American Federation for Children, Governor Lombardo outlined how the bill will instill accountability at every level of the education system, empower educators, expand opportunities for students, and ensure that families have a voice and choice in their child’s education.

“After delivering the largest investment in K–12 education in Nevada’s history, we owe it to our communities to match that investment with real results – and real accountability. I’m proud of what we’ve done so far. But let’s be clear – we can no longer accept lack of funding as an excuse for chronic underperformance,” said Governor Joe Lombardo. “That’s why I’m introducing the Accountability in Education Act, which is legislation built on one guiding principle: No child in Nevada should be trapped in a failing school because of their ZIP code or held back because of how much their parents or guardians earn.”
