The state of Nevada has provided approximately $34 million in additional funding for the 2018-19 school year, funding that is greatly needed and appreciated. However, the list below of rising costs provides an understanding of why the additional $34 million provided to the district is not enough to keep up with the rising costs of existing programs the district incurs and also provide payroll increases for employees.
The categorical increased education funding provided by the State must be spent on specified programs such as Zoom and Victory Schools. Categorical funding cannot be spent on the rising costs listed above. This is why it is imperative that the State increase base funding for education.
