Overview

Mission

To advocate reform in Nevada's education system

What it reported doing in 2015

Creation and distribution of advertisements and communications promoting the petitioning, awareness, and status of the education reform bills that were in the process of being put on the ballot and written into law. Public was urged to sign the official petitions that were needed to keep the reform on its way to being signed into law. Targeted lists were created and geofencing was used in the communications. Advertisements and communications were in English and Spanish to reach the widest possible segment of the Nevada population.
