Acing Accountability
Overview
In 2023, Governor Joe Lombardo committed $2.6B in increased funding for K-12 Education in Nevada. This historical investment in Nevada’s K-12 education led to the creation of a new initiative known as Acing Accountability. The aim of Acing Accountability is to ensure that this historical increase in education funding is directly tied to student performance.
As part of Acing Accountability, each school district, the State Public Charter School Authority (SPCSA), and its charter holders are assessed based on the following Essential Questions:
- To what degree are school districts and the SPCSA effectively implementing reading and mathematics resources?
- To what degree are kindergarten through grade 3 (K-3) students demonstrating progress toward mastery in literacy?
- To what degree are grades 4 through 8 (4-8) students demonstrating growth and proficiency in mathematics?
- To what degree are high school graduates prepared for success in college or a career?
- To what degree do school districts and the SPCSA have the workforce to meet the needs of every student?
- To what degree are school districts and the SPCSA using innovative solutions to meet the unique needs of their students?
