Joe Lombardo<\/a> has what he calls a short-term plan to shore up a private school scholarship program, after Democratic legislators this week rejected a proposal that involved using unallocated federal money.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican governor announced late Friday that the AAA Scholarship Foundation \u2014 a private scholarship organization at the center of Nevada&#8217;s school choice debate \u2014 has volunteered to use reserve funds to ensure that no students who qualify under state law lose access to scholarships this year. He said he was grateful to the organization.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, unless legislative Democrats work with us on a long-term solution, children will be forced out of their schools and back into the very schools that failed to meet their unique educational needs,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/nevada-gov-joe-lombardo-seeks-use-covid-funds-waning-private-school-scholarship-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>NEVADA GOV. JOE LOMBARDO SEEKS TO USE COVID FUNDS FOR WANING PRIVATE SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The state\u2019s Interim Finance Committee voted along party lines Wednesday, with Democrats opposing the governor&#8217;s previous proposal to use $3.2 million in federal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/health\/infectious-disease\/coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coronavirus relief funds<\/a> to maintain existing scholarships. The decision at the close of a marathon 12-hour hearing was another setback in Lombardo&#8217;s efforts to make school choice a priority in the state\u2019s increasingly rare split-party government.<\/p>\n<p>School choice generally refers to taxpayer-funded programs that pay for or expand access to other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">educational options<\/a> including private or charter schools, home-schooling or hybrid models, though it can take many forms.<\/p>\n<p>The debate over it has amplified divisions between Nevada&#8217;s relatively moderate Republican governor and the Democratic-controlled Legislature \u2014 echoing similar discord in statehouses around the country.<\/p>\n<p>Nevada ranks toward the bottom of national rankings in per-pupil funding. Urban and rural schools face teacher shortages, underfunding, aging infrastructure and overcrowded classrooms. Most teacher unions and Democrats oppose school choice.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/where-does-restorative-justice-stand-in-schools-today\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>WHERE DOES \u2018RESTORATIVE JUSTICE\u2019 STAND IN SCHOOLS TODAY?<\/u><\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Proponents of school choice say it gives students more options, especially for those who don\u2019t benefit from traditional public schools. Democratic lawmakers contend that using public funds for private schools will gut already resource-strapped public schools.<\/p>\n<p>Lombardo originally wanted to expand eligibility and provide an additional $50 million for the state\u2019s Opportunity Scholarship program, passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature in 2015. The program allows businesses to receive tax credits on donations that go toward the private and religious school tuitions of mostly low-income students.<\/p>\n<p>To get a scholarship for the upcoming school year, the governor&#8217;s office said eligible parents have to apply to the AAA Scholarship Foundation directly. The deadline is Sept. 11.<\/p>\n<p>Leading Democratic legislators have argued that reserve funding within the Opportunity Scholarship program should be adequate to cover all currently enrolled students. They described the program as broken, noting that one scholarship-granting organization out of six obtained an outsized share of funding on a first-served basis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/nevada-gov-lombardo-announces-new-plan-support-private-school-scholarships-urges-democrats-cooperate\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/nevada-gov-lombardo-announces-new-plan-support-private-school-scholarships-urges-democrats-cooperate <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nevada Gov.
