SB 104 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Makes appropriations to the Other State Education Programs Account for allocation to certain nonprofit organizations for the creation and maintenance of school gardens and to certain other nonprofit organizations. (BDR S-539)

SB 104 allocates $200,000 annually for two fiscal years to fund school garden programs at Nevada public schools through approved nonprofit organizations. The bill requires these programs to include desert-tailored STEM curricula for grades K-12, involve community members like farmers and chefs, and provide student opportunities to operate farmer's markets and learn cooking with garden produce. Nonprofits must have at least two years of experience implementing such programs and report all expenditures to the legislature by specified deadlines. The funding specifically supports garden creation, maintenance, and teacher training focused on science, technology, engineering, and math education.
