SB 81 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises various provisions governing education. (BDR 34-276)

SB 81 requires the Department of Education to conduct annual surveys of public school employees about school climate and working conditions, and to survey those leaving employment. It updates terminology for at-risk student services ("Victory services" becomes "services for at-risk pupils") and English learner support ("Zoom services" becomes "services for pupils who are English learners"). The bill also revises funding timelines, mandating quarterly transfers of cannabis tax revenues and Permanent School Fund interest into the State Education Fund, and adjusts school district report deadlines to occur in early January. These changes directly affect school districts, public school employees, and the Department of Education in administering education funding and reporting.

MODERATE
This bill transitions from a draft version to its final enacted form, incorporating specific amendments regarding survey administration dates, fund transfer timelines, and reporting deadlines. The changes clarify when school districts must transfer excess funds and update the calendar for submitting budget reports to align with new fiscal year procedures.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on education administration, but the applicability of specific deadlines and reporting requirements has been adjusted to reflect the final legislative session dates and fiscal constraints.
TIMELINE

The deadline for transferring excess funds to the Education Stabilization Account was changed from before the State Controller's report to before the close of the current fiscal year.

Budget reporting deadlines were updated; school district reports are now due by the Friday of the first week in January containing 5 business days, and the Superintendent's compilation is due by the last Friday in January.

The Governor's annual financial status report compilation deadline was moved from January 1 to February 15 to align with the new budget report submission dates.

TECHNICAL

Formatting and session identifiers were updated to reflect the 83rd Session (2025) and remove draft-specific markings.
