Nevada Financial Literacy Legislation & Educational Stats
Due to its sparse population compared with the rest of the U.S., Nevada has fewer total schools, students, and teachers than the national averages: 702 total schools (1,972 U.S. average), 459,189 total students (986,521 U.S. average), and 21,655 total teachers (61,418 U.S. average). Further, the pupil/teacher ratio in the Silver State is relatively high (21.2 compared to the 16.06 U.S. average). These figures are drawn from the Common Core of Data (CCD), a National Center for Education Statistics program (U.S. Department of Education, 2014-15).
As of 2015, the Silver State’s legislature was considering S.B. 220, a piece of policy that would require “instruction on financial literacy for pupils enrolled in middle school and junior high school in each school district and in each charter school that operates as a middle school or junior high school,” as well as “creating the Account for Instruction on Financial Literacy in the State General Fund” (National Conference of State Legislatures, 2015).
