I am so sick of these BIG Government business association statements about the need to "improve" public education. Public education is a CATASTROPHE and CANNOT be reformed. The only reason that groups like the LV Chamber (of Horrors) continually call for "reform" (instead of abolition) is because so many of its Members are public education contractors who make MONEY off the system.
What's with this fuzzy accounting that Nevada spends "only" $7,806/pupil?! When you take into account real expenses like PERS, capital improvements and interest Nevada's education funding is > $10,000/kid.
Money down a rat hole.
BTW, the politically connected consultants who crafted the report make a LOT of money off government contracts.
