Statement of Principles


Nevada government keeps getting bigger and BIGGER. We deserve minimum, strictly limited, constitutional government in this State.

Forget all this blather about a $3B "shortfall". The budget for the '12/'13 biennium should be no more than $200M.

CCSD Graduation Rate Inflated

Originally posted in a LVRJ Forum

The number of students who graduate (the numerator) is misleadingly high. Most of those kids are just barely functioning. That is, by graduation day, they're lucky if they can read their own diplomas. The proficiency exam really only tests whether they can read the invitations.

Part of the cause of this disaster known as public education is revealed in the article. CCSD is teeming with bureaucrats. For example, did you know that CCSD employs a:
  • director of testing
  • Deputy Superintendent of Instruction
Do they resport to the Second Liason Assistant Coordinator of Quality and Scope, or to the Vice-Superintendent of Transporation Effectiveness?
