Statement from Governor Lombardo on Democrats Rejecting Charter School Teacher Pay Raises

“I’ve been clear and consistent on this. I will not sign an education budget that does not include equal pay for public charter school teachers and make teacher pay raises, including those for charter school teachers, permanent. Further, I will veto any education budget bill that falls short of addressing a serious need for accountability, transparency, and real parental choice. All 63 legislators have been aware of my position for months, and it is my expectation that they will pass a bill that improves education for all Nevada children.” -Governor Joe Lombardo

Governor Lombardo recently introduced his Nevada Accountability in Education Act, which will implement accountability in K-12 education, empower and reward educators, expand opportunities for students, and ensure that families have a voice and choice in their child’s education.
