Letter to Nevada Governor Sandoval
Education Cuts
Really? Is that what our new Governor is proposing? Reducing our public school spending which is currently ranked forty-sixth in the nation, one that has our students ranked last in chances for success!
Then play “chicken little” not recommending teacher salary cuts, instead opting to have the trustees and Board of Regents do the crossing of that proverbial street while he stands in the shadows. Wow, new leader and new hope for a better Nevada. Squashed within the first month!
You see Governor, what we have is a failure to communicate. The people of Nevada want a balanced budget, oh yes we do. However, it needs to be done smartly and no one gets any smarter cutting education.
Governor, what Nevadans would really like to see is a steady trend upward in the national education rankings producing new opportunities and new jobs in Nevada. Do this and do it right Governor and you will lead Nevada into the future with its head held high. Fail and you’ll continue the path of futility that has the Nevada economy, its future and our educational system in ruins.
