Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak plans to donate his salary to public education—here's why via CNBCMakeIt
In February of 2018, then-gubernatorial candidate Steve Sisolak made a campaign promise that if elected governor, he'd donate his entire salary to public education.
"I asked the people of Nevada for the chance to lead this state for many reasons, chief among them being the opportunity to improve educational outcomes for every child in every classroom in the state," said Sisolak in a statement."To show my commitment to this goal, the First Lady and I are donating my net state salary back to public education.
The gift is relatively small compared to the size of Nevada's education budget — The Guinn Center reports that Nevada's budget allocates nearly $6.6 billion to education — but draws attention to the need for increased education funding."This unprecedented gesture serves to highlight the need for more funding in our schools now," Keenan Korth, communications specialist for a Nevada teachers union, tells CNN.
