Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo has threatened to veto any education budget proposal that excludes raises for charter school teachers, emphasizing the need for accountability, transparency, and parental choice in education. Despite a budget committee's recommendation to continue funding K-12 teacher raises, lawmakers have rejected expanding those raises to charter school educators. Lombardo, who holds significant influence and faces little personal risk from a prolonged legislative session, is expected to take a firm stance by potentially vetoing bills that lack Republican majority support or are backed by certain Democratic legislators and lobbyists. This approach aims to secure equitable pay for charter school teachers and could impact both Nevada's students and Lombardo's re-election campaign. Meanwhile, Nevada lawmakers have signaled continued funding for K-12 teacher raises in the upcoming two-year budget cycle, but charter school staff remain excluded from these increases.
