Sheldon Adelsen and Steve Wynn as well as the Tea Party Darling,Laxalt who is running to replace Sandoval. Our Education System is last or next to last Nationally. When you place below Mississippi,you really suck.

When are just now starting to get some type of handle on correcting this pathetic mess. Example being,Clark County Schools has 330k Students,44k Teacher and Administration Person's with a 60 million dollar short fall as of last week,and Teachers and Support Persons being axed as a result in order to try and fix the funding gap. One reason is how the State and Counties do their Property Tax collections,thus the School Funding formula is one big mess. Property Taxes here are payable over a nine month period of time. This new Business Tax is designed to even out the bumps plus supply Districts with some type of Financial cushion for Teacher Pay increases as well as Building repairs and replacement.

We here in Nevada are seeing what a poorly funded Education System results look like. The Casino Moguls have starved this State of producing tons of well Educated Persons,instead,we have a over abundance of Persons that fill the Casino Labor intensive jobs with zero future.
