Over the past decade, the education system of Nevada has become a severe concern for its students' futures. Nevada has been ranked as one of the worst states for education. 

Nevada received mixed comments for reforming the education system from civilians and the administration. The administration hopes that additional funding in the education system and tax hikes will fix the root problem of education quality. Meanwhile, some criticize this tax hike, as thrusting a billion-dollar tax hike will not change what's wrong with public education in Nevada and will eventually only make it more expensive.

A survey commissioned by the legislature shows that Nevada should spend $9,238 per student to support K-12 public schools satisfactorily. Nevada is currently spending $5,387 per student to schools, and if they prefer to match the target, there is additional funding of $1.7 billion expected for the betterment of the education system. 

Nevada schools rank among the lowest in the nation, with only 28 percent of eighth-grade students classified as proficient or better in reading and math. By contrast, Nevada ranked first in a National Education Association measure of class size growth. Nevada has the third largest class size per court documents, and the graduation rate has improved to 83%, jumping 10% from 2017, and it is the current highest. 

You can't play with the future of the students by cutting funds, and present education expenses are insufficient to provide students a quality education and training. The administration supported their concern about the additional funds, and condemned the short growth in additional funds year by year, which is far short of the $9,238 benchmark.

Clark County Education Association was convinced that a simple billion-dollar tax hike would solve all obstacles in the education system. Clark County education association hopes to see progress on moving to weighted funding. This would ensure that students in categories that require additional educational resources like English language learners, individualized education plans, and gifted and talented education would receive additional funds on top of the base per-pupil funding. This formula may sound costly, but the state could take steps to move in that direction incrementally. 

The need for additional funding is so dire that the administration suggests creating additional revenue streams to reform the education system. Appropriate mandates are required to ensure schoolchildren's resources are properly allocated.
