The Nevada Department of Education or NDOE, autonomous of the governor and the Nevada State Legislature, administers primary and secondary public education in the state of Nevada.

The NDOE headquarters are located in Carson City.[1]

History

The Department of Education was established in 1979, and initially consisted of three boards of commissions: the state board of education, the state board for vocational education, and the state textbook.[2] Several changes to the structure occurred in the 1980s. The textbook commission ceased to exist in 1981, while the state board for vocational education was renamed in 1985 into the state board for occupational education.[3][4]

In 1995, the commission on post-secondary education was moved to the Department of Education from the Department of Business and Industry, though this only lasted until 2001, when the commission was disbanded.[5][6] By 2017, only the state board of education remained alongside the Superintendent of Public Instruction.[7] Several advisory councils and boards were formed in the following years, some which make up the current structure of the Department of Education.

Divisions

The following are several divisions that are included in the Department of Education:[8]

  1. Student Investment Division
  2. Educator Effectiveness and Family Engagement Division
  3. Student Achievement Division

The department also has several active statutory boards, commissions, and task force such as the Council to Establish Academic Standards, Nevada Early Childhood Advisory Council, Commission on Professional Standards, and Teacher Recruitment and Retention Advisory Task Force.[9]
