The State of Nevada has made available to programs that will provide the funds for your child to attend private school.
Senate Bill 302 provides a mean for parents to choose a different option to meet their education needs, NEVADA’S EDUCATING SAVINGS ACCOUNT PROGRAM.
A parent who wishes to choose something other than a public school can simple apply for an Education Savings Account and a percentage of what the state funds for their child’s public education will be deposited into an account for that child. The average is about $5100 per year.
