If you believe that funding cuts to K-12 and the Nevada System of Higher Education are not solutions for the state’s budget crisis, then consider adding your name to Fight for Nevada: A Petition in Defense of Education.
The Fight for Nevada website is sponsored by The Associated Students of the University of Nevada (ASUN) and has collected thousands of signature from alumnus, alumna, students, faculty, staff, and supporters of Nevada’s institutions of higher education.
Truckee Meadows Community College’s ESL and GED students undertook a letter-writing campaign this spring and summer to thank their legislators for their support of Adult Basic Education. Over 200 thank you letters were sent to state and national representatives. Click here for a recent response from U.S. Congresswoman Dina Titus.

Earlier in the Nevada Legislative session, BDR 746 was introduced that proposed moving adult education services to higher education. The Senate has filed a concurrent resolution (SCR22) that effectively continues adult education services in Nevada as they presently are relative only in terms of supervision. The funding of adult education is a totally separate issue and continues to be discussed in the legislature.
Please read the attached resolution. It contains valuable information for you and your students to know. It is complimentary of your efforts as adult educators in Nevada.
