A New Nevada: Early Childhood Education and Literacy Interventions in Nevada's K-12 Public Schools

During his January 2017 State of the State address, Governor Brian Sandoval renewed his financial commitment to several programs aimed at improving educational outcomes in the Silver State: Nevada K.I.D.S. Read (formerly Read by Grade 3), Zoom Schools, Victory Schools, pre-K  programs, and kindergarten programs.
