School and Teacher Evaluation in Nevada
Nevada Policy Research Institute (NPRI) stated that the state’s math education hasn’t improved due to a lack of accountability. However, school officials claimed that no ineffective principal or administrator was present for the past four years. Moreover, only 0.1% of teachers were evaluated for the 2017-2018 school year, resulting in insufficient measures.
