K-16 is a whopping ~50% of NV's biennial budget. If we had small government in this state, our annual financial obligation for public education would be less than $2M per year. Then we wouldn't need sales taxes and we could ABOLISH them.
You say "How can that be?" The Nevada Constitution specifies a minimum of one public school per district (18 statewide). We should return to the "little red schoolhouse" model -- @$100K/school.
The constitution also mandates a state university with no less than (minimum) 3 applied science departments (Ag, Mining, Eng). Eliminate *everthing* except those departments. The original endowment would pay for them. A small state university model reduces our financial obligation for higher ed to ZERO.
