Overview
The Nevada Department of
Education received a $16.4 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of
Education to increase the quality of public charter schools in our state
between the years of 2015-2018. This grant is designed to support newer public
charter schools in Nevada and to disseminate best practices from effective charter
schools to the rest of the public education system. Funds will be used to:
- Improve student achievement in Nevada charter
schools, particularly for students who have historically underachieved
(graduation rates and career/college enrollment).
- Promote the high-quality dissemination of Nevada
charter school best practices to other schools.
- Strengthen the overall quality of the Nevada
charter authorizing and CSP administrative infrastructure.
- Strengthen the overall quality of the Nevada
charter authorizing and CSP administrative infrastructure.
The Nevada Charter Schools
Program (NCSP) provides two types of competitive subgrants to qualified charter
school operators and developers (committees to form): (1) for the planning
phase and early years of implementation of new charter schools; and (2) for
experienced and successful charter schools to assist other schools in adapting
their charter school’s program (or certain aspects of the charter school’s
program) or to disseminate information about the charter school.
Planning/Implementation and Dissemination Subgrants
To provide financial assistance to eligible applicants for the post-charter planning, program design, and initial implementation of charter schools within the first three years of operation.
