AB 236 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions governing the selection of members to certain state boards and councils performing duties related to education. (BDR 34-78)

AB 236 revises how teachers and education professionals are selected for Nevada state education boards and councils. It changes the nomination process from requiring the Governor to appoint members from lists submitted by the Nevada State Education Association (NSEA) to appointing them from lists submitted by specific employee organizations representing: (1) teachers in large school districts (currently Clark County only) and (2) teachers in other districts, or (1) school counselors/psychologists in large districts and (2) in other districts. The bill maintains the same number of appointments but shifts nomination authority to district-specific employee groups instead of NSEA. This directly affects how educators and support staff are represented on boards like the State Board of Education and the Teachers and Leaders Council. The changes have no fiscal impact on state or local government.

MINOR
This bill changes how teachers and education professionals are selected to serve on Nevada's State Board of Education. Instead of all teacher nominees coming from the Nevada State Education Association, the bill requires the Governor to select teachers from two separate lists: one representing teachers in large school districts and another representing teachers in smaller districts. This change aims to ensure broader representation across different school sizes.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded to include representation from both large and small school districts for teacher appointments, whereas previously only the Nevada State Education Association submitted candidates.
ELIGIBILITY

Teacher nominees for the State Board of Education must now come from two separate employee organizations: one representing teachers in large school districts and another representing teachers in smaller districts, rather than all nominees coming from the Nevada State Education Association.

REQUIREMENT

The Governor must now select teacher members from a list of six candidates: three from the large school district organization and three from the smaller school district organization.

DEFINITION

The bill clarifies that a 'large school district' is defined as any school district with more than 100,000 pupils enrolled, which currently only includes the Clark County School District.
