Federal education law could be chaotic for Nev.
By Neal Morton, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Nevada Superintendent of Public Instruction Steve Canavero warned members of a U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee Wednesday that proposed rules to implement a new federal education law could create chaos and confusion as Nevada schools try to help at-risk students.
Canavero, whose department oversees about 460,000 students, also testified during a nearly two-hour congressional hearing that a new accounting method in the draft regulations threatens a recently approved plan to drive more control over budget, instruction and staffing decisions to individual school communities.
The hearing centered on the U.S. Department of Education’s proposed rules for the Every Student Succeeds Act, which President Obama signed into law in December.
In Nevada schools, what student isn’t at risk, particularly as control shifts to local politics – and the the local politicians in charge?
