Interim Superintendent's Report
Entre lo más destacado:
- Most systems have been restored for users, following the statewide cybersecurity incident.
- The federal shutdown coincided with a statewide transition for billing for grantees, and grantees were asked to submit reimbursements early in anticipation of this transition. This positioned the Department well in processing reimbursements. If the shutdown persists, they will adapt as necessary and keep the Board and stakeholders updated.
- NSPF Results were released, with star ratings released September 15, and the Nevada Report Card thereafter. The Interim Superintendent acknowledged that while there is still work to do, the State saw gains in English Language Arts, mathematics, science, and graduate rates, as well as reduced chronic absenteeism.
- For legislative implementation, the State has a commitment to communicate with Districts and stakeholders throughout the implementation process. Guidance has been posted on the State's website regarding open enrollment policies, and working groups are actively recruiting members for performance framework updates, literacy, and other priorities from SB 460. Stakeholder engagement, including hearings and meetings, will begin in late winter and early spring. The Department is also committed to making quarterly implementation updates.
