The Nevada Department of Education (NDE or Department) leads and collaborates with Nevada's 17 school districts and the State Public Charter School Authority to advance educational equity Statewide. With offices in Nevada's capital, Carson City, and Las Vegas, NDE oversees all pre-K-12 education in the State with mission of improving student achievement and educator effectiveness by ensuring opportunities, facilitating learning, and promoting excellence. Under the leadership of the State Board of Education and the Superintendent of Public Instruction, NDE impacts the achievement of nearly half a million children and 30,000 educators.

The Nevada Department of Education is committed to transparency, inclusivity, and community collaboration in policymaking. One of the many ways we engage representatives and stakeholders from across Nevada's Pre-K-12 public education system is through the work of boards, commissions, and councils. In addition to groups established in State law, the Department convenes workgroups and task forces to maximize stakeholder voice in all our work. The meetings of all statutory boards are open to the public; they are livestreamed and invite the public to submit comment regarding the work of that board. For more information, see our Public Meetings calendar as well as information on Regulation Workshops and Public Hearings.
