On January 10, 2013 the elected leadership of Southern Nevada met to discuss the region’s governance, K--‐12, higher education, infrastructure, economic development, and health care needs. From that bipartisan discussion emerged policy priorities for the 77th Session of the Nevada Legislature. This report examines the degree to which the region’s elected senators and assembly members advanced these priorities and represented the interests of Southern Nevada in state government.

School Choice Demonstration Project
What would an education fiscal cliff do to public charter school funding, not to mention overall public education funding?

We focus on how they engage marginalized, “hard-to-reach” youth via (1) experiential …
