A bill that would provide legal immunity for parent volunteers serving on Clark County school organization teams was one of five proposals moved to the next stage in the legislative process Tuesday by the Senate Committee on Education.
Senate Bill 119, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Aaron Ford, D-Las Vegas, said the possibility that members would be sued may discourage them from serving on the teams. The teams were created after AB394, passed in 2015, mandated the reorganization of the Clark County School District.
The teams, which include teachers, support staff, parents and community members, are responsible for helping direct finances and programs at the schools.
Other bills gaining preliminary approval include:
* Senate Bill 19, which would require all districts to have dual-enrollment agreements with an institution of higher education;
* Senate Bill 66, which would loosen restrictions on students completing internships;
* Senate Bill 38, which would allow districts to take advantage of the state’s Central Mailing Room;
* Senate Bill 76, which would revise how local agencies invest money.
