Statement from Superintendent Traci Davis Regarding Governor's Bridge Funding Proposal
Reno, NV (June 3, 2017) -- The Washoe County School District appreciates Governor Brian Sandoval for his immediate response to support Nevada’s children.
We are thankful that Governor Sandoval is working with legislative leaders and us to find a solution for a recently discovered budget anomaly that would force the District to cut $6.6 million from our operating fund.
The idea of a bridge funding proposal would help to address this surprise budget hole for the upcoming year.
The District is deeply grateful to the Governor, his state budget experts, and the legislative counsel bureau who have worked diligently with the Nevada Department of Education at the 11th hour to find a solution that could assist us in ensuring that all Nevada children receive equitable funding for quality education.
We are hopeful that the state legislature will work with the Washoe County School District and the Governor to pass a bridge funding proposal.
