Upcoming Interim Report: The council will culminate its research by submitting a comprehensive report of findings and policy recommendations to the Legislative Counsel Bureau by October 31, 2026.
Comprehensive Statewide Input: Council members represent all levels of Nevada's education ecosystem, including classroom teachers, school and district administrators, higher education representatives, NDE staff, and policy experts.
