The kickoff event featured school performances, educator networking, guest speakers, and refreshments, all centered on putting new resources behind classroom improvement. CCEA President Kristen Nigro framed the day as a moment of opportunity for the initiative. "Ultimately what we're doing is we're really celebrating this moment, this opportunity that we have in front of us, and that is being able to be given resources to help raise student outcomes," Nigro said. The Feeder School Project is an innovative, comprehensive initiative designed to strengthen support for both teachers and students while smoothing transitions from elementary school through high school. Nigro said the effort is meant to lift students who "deserve to be elevated to the next level." CCSD Superintendent Jhone Ebert said the plan grew out of an idea teachers brought to her, then expanded through months of collaborative planning to fold in additional proven strategies. "We sat in the room for months and then brought more people in, focusing on what we know works and how do we change it; how do we make it different," Ebert said. Special guests at the launch included Gov. Joe Lombardo, Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro, Nevada Superintendent of Public Instruction Victor Wakefield, and Ebert. Lombardo addressed teacher recruitment and retention challenges, along with pay concerns, and highlighted increased state funding for K-12 education. The program pairs high schools with their feeder elementary and middle schools to align instruction, adding targeted tutoring and support tied to literacy, math proficiency, and career and college readiness, including pathways to dual enrollment and college credit. Classroom walkthroughs will help confirm students are mastering standards, and educators say the model emphasizes classroom discourse. Early feedback from parents and students is already coming in, with organizers expecting gradual gains in graduation rates and college placement over the coming year.
