AAFE’s state policy initiatives result in the passage of 3 bills: SB 391 allows Agassi Prep to further its mission of serving underserved youth; AB 393 allows employees to enroll their children at Agassi Prep and a seamless transition for children enrolled in an affiliated Pre-K program; and AB 488 gives it additional flexibility to hire “critical need” positions.
The Center for Education Reform improves its ranking of Nevada Charter Law from 27th in the nation to 22nd. After the 2007 legislative session, Nevada improves its overall ranking which encourages new charters to open and increases educational opportunities for children.
Nevada System of Higher Education is authorized as a charter sponsor. This increases the number of entities given authority to sponsor charter schools in the state, making the expansion of charter schools possible.
The Center for Education Reform, a non-profit dedicated to improving education through policy reform ranks Nevada Charter Law 27th in the nation. By driving policy reform and strengthening charter law, AAFE is able to provide greater educational opportunities for all Nevada children.
The Nevada Legislature passes and the Governor signs into law, AB 162, which enables Agassi Prep to give preference in enrollment to students who live within a two-mile radius of the school. This allows Agassi Prep to intensify its focus on the needs of the surrounding community.
