CARSON CITY, Nev. – The Nevada Department of Education has announced the formation of the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Group for Education (NV SAGE), with applications now available for interested students.
The initiative aims to involve students across Nevada in shaping state education policy. The advisory group was proposed by Michael Keyes, a senior at Pahrump Valley High School and a member of the Nevada State Board of Education.
“I am grateful for State Board member Michael Keyes and his leadership in ensuring that student voices are heard,” said Jhone Ebert, Superintendent of Public Instruction. “I look forward to discussing their educational priorities.”
The application deadline is September 30, and forms can be found on the Nevada Department of Education’s website. Students interested in joining NV SAGE should apply through their school guidance counselor. District superintendents will review applications and nominate candidates for consideration.
NV SAGE will include two students from each school district and two representing the State Public Charter School Authority. The advisory group will consist of youth in eighth through 11th grades from school districts and public charter schools, serving a two-year term. Meetings will be held monthly via a virtual platform.
