Educational Survey Commission Reports On School Reorganization
The Educational Survey Commission after a three day session at the capitol adjourned to December 18 1916. It recommends abolishing the State Board of Education and creating a five member governor appointed board, making the Superintendent of Public Instruction appointive, and adopting a county unit plan with county boards and district agents. A Nevada School Supervisory Commission would link state and local authorities, meeting annually to set policy and purchase texts.
