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. For simplicity, we collectively refer to these groups as "boards." More information on the various boards convened and supported by the Department is below.

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.
