Learning Never Stops: Building Nevada's Future Through Lifelong Education

Christian's story is one we hear too often: a passion for learning sidelined by the daily grind. This shouldn't be the norm. Education shouldn't end with a diploma or degree; it's a lifelong journey that fuels personal growth and unlocks a brighter future for ourselves and our communities.

Investing in Ourselves, Investing in Nevada

Nevada sits at a crossroads. We can remain stagnant, or we can become a magnet for new industries and high-paying jobs. The key lies in one crucial factor: our workforce. By investing in local trade schools and centers of higher learning, we empower Nevadans to develop the skills these industries crave. This isn't just about individual opportunity; it's about building a robust, skilled community that fosters innovation and attracts investment. Christian, like many, sees the value in expanding trade schools. These institutions provide a clear path to careers that are both fulfilling and financially rewarding. A strong, skilled workforce isn't just an economic engine; it's the foundation for a thriving Nevada.

Beyond the Blame Game: Shared Responsibility for Education

There's a tendency to point fingers when it comes to shortcomings in education. Christian advocates for a different approach: shared accountability. Parents, teachers, administrators – we all play a role. Parents must be actively involved in their children's education, while school administrators need the authority to hold staff accountable for delivering quality instruction. This isn't about placing blame; it's about working together to ensure our children receive the best education possible.

Building a Brighter Tomorrow Starts Today

Christian is a firm believer in the power of education to shape Nevada's future. Our children deserve a strong foundation in science, math, and history, along with an appreciation for our state's rich heritage. Public schools must be at the forefront, fostering a love of learning while maintaining the trust of parents and communities. Only by investing in our collective education can we build the future our children deserve.

Christian's 2025 Session Priorities

His vision for education reform extends beyond rhetoric. Here are some key areas he prioritizes:

• Supporting Teachers' Rights: Educators play a vital role, and ensuring they have the tools and support they need is paramount.

• Legislative Oversight: Increased accountability for school boards is crucial for effective administration.

• Limiting Standardized Testing: While assessment has its place, an overreliance on standardized tests can stifle learning and creativity.

• Increased Instruction Time: Time spent on core subjects is essential for a strong educational foundation.

• Reorganizing School Organizing Teams (SOTs): Streamlining these teams can improve decision-making and effectiveness.

By embracing lifelong learning, fostering a culture of shared responsibility, and investing in our education system, we can unlock Nevada's full potential. Let's work together to build a future where education empowers every Nevadan. The time to invest in ourselves is now.
