Sen. Nicole Cannizzaro, Majority Leader of the Nevada State Senate, will be the featured speaker at Monday’s Democratic luncheon.
Sen. Cannizzaro will share details of The Educate Act, a sweeping education bill she is sponsoring in the 83rd session, currently underway.
The $500 million bill would establish universal prekindergarten and continue funding for teacher raises. It would also add more reporting requirements for the state’s private school quasi-voucher scholarship program and mandate minimum qualifications for superintendents and chief financial officers.
In an interview with The Nevada Independent, Cannizzaro said that The Educate Act would save the state money in the future and lead to better academic outcomes in a state that has consistently ranked among the worst in the nation.
This event is scheduled for 1:00 PM on Monday, February 17th, and can either be attended in person at Carson City’s Seven Grille, inside Max Casino, or online via Zoom. The presentation will begin after all lunch orders have been taken, around 1:30 PM.
Those wishing to be on distribution for luncheon Zoom links and videos should contact Rich Dunn at richdunn@aol.com. This event is sponsored by the Democratic Central Committee. The Men’s Committee hosts the presentations, which are free and open to the public.
