Parents! Only you can save the Opportunity Scholarship!

Dear Powerful Parents,


There are only six days left in this legislative session. The Opportunity Scholarships are not dead, and SB351 is a bill that can still fund the program!


Funding the Opportunity Scholarship program is making an investment in our children's future in Nevada and it uses less per pupil funding than public schools.

We are asking you to contact these legislators as well as Governor Sisolak and ask that SB351 receive a hearing. Please let them know that school choice shouldn't only be for the wealthy and well-connected.

Here are a few key points about the Opportunity Scholarship:

  • 74.1% of the families who utilize this scholarship are below 185% of poverty line

  • The average student takes $5000 from this program which is less than the average per pupil in Nevada

  • Frees up seats in overcrowded classrooms across the State


School choice is a fundamental parental right. No one knows the needs of their child better than the parents.
