Nevada Charter Schools: Improving Access to Categorical & Facilities Funding

Nevada’s public charter school students are entitled to receive a proportionate share of school funding from Federal, State and Local Sources. In practice, charter school students have experienced limited accessibility to State and Federal categorical funds compared to students at school districts. Charter schools also have limited access to facilities funding and must use their operations funding to meet these needs. The Guinn Center recommends ways the Legislature can improve access to funding for charter school students.
