Mr. Jeff Church provided handouts which were distributed and placed on file with the Clerk. He asked if any Nevada city, county, or state government entity could belong to an organization that advocated for political issues. He read from the Nevada constitution about state involvement with organizations and inquired whether those laws applied to groups like the Reno Transportation Commission (RTC) or any school boards. He alleged the Chamber of Commerce (CoC) lobbied for a gas tax and that CoC member Tray Abney was a paid Nevada lobbyist.

  • Washoe County School District Accountability Analysis
    Washoe County School District Accountability Analysis The Washoe County School District continues to make progress in complying with state accountability laws. The district repot contains most of the required data and is comprehensive. More building reports are more concise than in past years but others continue to deal in broad generalities, which fail to use appropriate data for planning and improvement. Several recommendations are provided for improving the report and complying with state and federal reports. 1. A summary of the student performance and school characteristics deemed relevant to the evaluation of the district's school performance based on data submitted to the State Board of Education and LeBEAPE in Part I school reports and Part II district-wide reports. Number of Pupils The Washoe County School District enrolled 54,508 students in 59 elementary schools, 12 middle schools, and 13 high schools in 1999-2000. In addition, there were four charter schools including a K-7 school (Sierra Nevada Academy), a K-8 school (Nevada Leadership Academy), a middle school (Coral Academy of Science), and a high school (I Can Do Anything). The state data tables showed a student enrollment growth rate of 3.2% from the previous school year Student Attendance Rate The district-wide attendance rate was 94%, an increase of approximately 1% from the previous year. The attendance rate ranged from 90% to 98%, with the exception of Washoe High School, an alternative school, with a rate of 79%, which was the same rate as in the previous year. All three schools that reported a less than 90% rate of attendance the previous year increased their attendance rate to above 90% (Natchez Elementary, Traner Middle, and Hug High School).
