The Statewide Plan for the Improvement of Pupils (STIP) is Nevada’s five-year plan to improve outcomes for students in public schools.

Developed by the Nevada Department of Education (NDE), the STIP is informed by statewide data and input from educators, families, and community partners. The plan is updated annually and submitted by March 31, as required by Nevada law (NRS 385.111–113).

The STIP:

• Sets statewide goals and performance targets

• Identifies key strategies to improve student outcomes

• Establishes measures to track progress and guide improvement

NDE is creating a new STIP to provide a clear, aligned plan focused on improving outcomes for every student. The plan is grounded in five core priorities:

• Strong Foundations

• Empowering Pathways

• Equipped Educators and Leaders

• Informed and Connected Families

• Aligned Systems

The STIP will include:

• A five-year strategic plan

• Refined targets, initiatives, and performance indicators

• A clear roadmap for statewide alignment

The STIP serves as Nevada’s statewide roadmap for education improvement and is reviewed each year to ensure it remains responsive to data, feedback, and the needs of students and schools.

The STIP serves a work plan and vision for improving education in Nevada over the next five years.
