If Gov. Lombardo would like to take a break from giving data centers tax abatements, he could address the school funding crisis caused by his $2 increase in per-pupil funding and use all available mechanisms, including some of the $650M Education Stabilization Account, to provide temporary funding.

Yes, Gov. Lombardo, we agree. Your administration has done a very poor job in education over the years! You vetoed universal school meals, lower class sizes, and after years of chronic underfunding, you increased per pupil funding by just $2 per student causing districts to cut staff and services.

Let's be clear: today's proposal from an organization backing Joe Lombardo for Governor is not a school-funding plan. It's a data center growth plan that uses students and teachers to make it more politically attractive. Just another gimmick to help the wealthy keep their tax abatements.

Joe Lombardo's $2 increase was a de facto education cut and Nevada still trails the national average by more than $4000 per student. As a result, school districts are cutting staff, services, and opportunities for students. That is why the #NVLeg needs to #PassThePlan. Seriously.

Stadiums. Servers. Studios. There's always another subsidy and another reason why Nevada gives away revenue. But when it comes to adequately funding our schools, suddenly, the money is not there. Meanwhile, Nevada remains $4000 behind the national average with the largest class sizes in the country.

Gov. Lombardo sent Nevada educators what reads like a campaign ad straight to their school inboxes, courtesy of his taxpayer-funded office. Funny how he's only sending these emails during an election year. The reality is that educators haven’t seen a pay raise in 3 years. #NVLeg

While Governor Lombardo jokes he doesn't get paid very much, Nevada educators don't have the luxury of joking. Many educators will go more than 3 years without a raise or cost-of-living increase while inflation continues to drive up the cost of housing, groceries, and other essentials.

Anyone can say ‘no new taxes.’ The hard part is actually funding our schools. Lombardo's $2 increase to per-pupil funding caused real issues for our schools.

Under Governor Lombardo, most educators haven't seen a raise in years while class sizes continue to be the largest in the nation. That’s a direct result of Governor Lombardo’s budget, which increased per-pupil funding by just $2 last year. When costs go up and pay stays flat, that’s a pay cut.
