Watch: The Guinn Center's Webinar on Nevada's Pupil-Centered Funding Plan
October 30, 2024
Kristine Caliger, Assistant Director
The Guinn Center hosted a "First Look" webinar on its recently published report on Nevada's Pupil-Centered Funding Plan, an 18-month study on K-12 funding across the state. The project addresses how funds have been distributed to schools since the PCFP was adopted, how these funds could impact student outcomes, and the perceived fairness and effectiveness of funding mechanisms.
The webinar covered several topics, including:
- An overview of the Pupil-Centered Funding Plan (PCFP) and how K-12 funding is distributed to Nevada schools
- How the PCFP impacts English Learners, Special Education students, Gifted and Talented students, and At-Risk students
- How the implementation of the PCFP has impacted equitable distribution of resources across the state
- Perceptions of the school funding mechanism by individual school and district leaders
- Preliminary findings on relationships between funding and student performance
- Recommendations for policymakers to consider to further refine the implementation of the PCFP
