Nevada legislators hope expanded scholarship will ease teaching shortage
Nevada Senate Bill 52 would expand the Millennium Scholarship by giving a near full ride to 100 University of Nevada, Reno students who major in math and science education and to 300 potential special education teachers studying at University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
I wonder if there is a requred service attachment to the scholarship, because I can see recipients taking their credentials and heading off to a state with a more reasonable salary to cost of living--read housing costs--ratio. Also, does 400 scholarships address a 1,200 to 1,500 teacher shortage per year, high attrition rate among teachers, overcrowding, and the general dismal performance in Clark County alone?
