Nevada seeks community input for new state superintendent
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The Nevada State Board of Education invites community members to weigh in as the search for the state's next Superintendent of Public Instruction begins.
On Monday, the board announced the launch of a public survey designed to gather input from stakeholders across Nevada. The goal is to identify the qualities, experiences, and priorities most important for the next leader of the state's public education system.
The position became open when former State Superintendent Jhone Ebert became the new superintendent for the Clark County School District.
'The selection of our next State Superintendent is a critical decision that will significantly impact the future of education in Nevada,' Dr. Katherine Dockweiler, president of the Nevada State Board of Education, said. 'We firmly believe that the perspectives of our community members are invaluable in this process.'
The Superintendent of Public Instruction is tasked with setting statewide policies, managing educational resources, and ensuring that schools meet state and federal requirements. The superintendent also works closely with school districts, educators, lawmakers, families, and community groups to promote student success across the state.
According to state law, Governor Joe Lombardo will appoint the new superintendent from a list of three candidates submitted by the State Board of Education.
The survey is available online and will remain open through Monday, May 6. Click here to take the survey.
The board is encouraging all Nevadans, including parents, students, educators, administrators, business leaders, and community members, to participate and share their perspectives.
