Reminder: Legislative Update 2023

We're halfway through this session!

Update On Legislation That Affects Our Families and Education 2023 Dear Powerful Parents and community members, Today marks the half-way point in our 82nd Legislative session. We have been working hard to keep Nevada families informed on important bills this session. Our goal is to provide convenient and time effective ways to engage with our lawmakers. Our elected officials know that parents in Nevada are engaged and informed. These are the bills we're watching: AB357 Sex education: implements expansive, explicit sex education and changes parental permission for participation from opt-in to opt-out. If you haven't already, please submit your opinion here. Tell lawmakers to reject AB357. AB330 Safer and Supportive Schools Act: Allows teachers to remove a student from the classroom if their behavior puts others at risk. Please submit your opinion here. Tell lawmakers to support AB330. AB400 Education, Achievement, Opportunity and Accountability Act: Parents champion this bill put forth by Governor Lombardo that will give families educational choice to escape failing schools in their zip code. Tell lawmakers to support school choice here. Please feel free to share Erin Phillips' opinion editorial detailing the benefits of Governor Lombardo's school choice bill here SB439 Sex education: allows sexuality education to be taught in every course and allows outside educators (not accountable to parents) to teach the course (see sections 17 and 18). Tell lawmakers to reject SB439 here. SB344 Defunds charter schools: Attacks school choice and charter schools by restricting local jurisdictions from funding charter schools. (see sections 9 and 10) This bill attempts to defund charter schools giving families fewer choices in education. Tell lawmakers to reject SB344 here.  Last week our President, Erin Phillips, visited the legislature to meet with lawmakers and testify on important bills that affect our parental rights. On Tuesday, April 11th, she testified at the hearing against AB357. AB357 requires implementation of expansive sexuality education, grants the state power to decide on sex ed standards for the entire state depriving parents and communities of local control, and changes the terms of parental permissions for their children to participate. Please watch her testimony here. We appreciate all the letters and testimonies that have been submitted. Let's keep up the fight to preserve families and parental rights in Nevada.
