Brian Sandoval in 2016 NV Senate race


On Education: Supports Education Savings Accounts and school choice

Catherine Cortez Masto came out against her state's school choice law, which creates Education Savings Accounts that allows families to use public education funds to send their children to private or parochial schools. Asked about how to help children stuck in low-performing schools, she said she supports investments like the tax package backed by Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval and approved last year.

Sandoval is a major supporter of the Education Savings Accounts. "I strongly support school choice," he said in a statement. Lawsuits holding up the program "potentially deprive parents of the opportunity to determine the educational future of their children."

Nevada's school choice law is a national leader in the options it provides for students. Parents can have 90% of the funds that would have been spent on their child in their public school deposited into a restricted-use spending account for private-school tuition [and other educational expenses].
