  • "In 2013, Sandoval signed legislation to set up a revolving loan account for start-up charter schools and gave charter schools access to state bonds for funding," according to The Las Vegas Sun.[1]
  • In 2012, the U.S. Department of Education "approved Nevada’s request for a waiver from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) in exchange for a state-developed plan." After it was approved, Sandoval said, "Today is a new day for education in Nevada. Nevada's ESEA Waiver creates an accountability system that improves student achievement and reflects Nevada's education values and goals. I congratulate and thank the Nevada Department of Education for working with stakeholders to ensure we put Nevada’s children first."[2]
  • In 2011, Sandoval signed legislation that "replaced traditional tenure with an evaluation system that allows for the removal of ineffective teachers from the classroom and dramatically alters the practice of using seniority as the only factor in school district lay-offs. Other factors including performance and effectiveness must now be included in teacher evaluations, as will student achievement data."[3]
