SCHOOL FINANCE TREND. 3 ESA lessons from the Silver Mine State.

Backgound: Nevada passed Educational Savings Accounts a couple years ago. The Nevada Supreme Court found the funding mechanism, rooted in education funding, unconstitutional under the Nevada Constitution. In 2017, the Nevada Legislature is trying to fix it.

The 3 Deals to Fix ESAs floated in Nevada Legislature:

•  A sliding scale for ESAs, less household income, more ESA
• Reduced funding down from the requested $60 Million to $20-$30 million
• Approval of ESA opponent initiatives
