Nevada Law Implementation Forces Hour Caps for CCSD Substitute Teachers
What happened
A Nevada law passed in 2023 provides retirement benefits to substitute teachers once they reach 720 hours of work. Clark County School District is now implementing this requirement, which previous leadership had not. The district informed some substitute teachers that their work hours will be capped at 720 per year if they do not qualify for PERS retirement benefits. Kimberly Johnson, a substitute teacher, stated that reaching her hour cap might prevent her from working for the rest of the school year.

This change directly impacts the income and employment stability of substitute teachers like Kimberly Johnson. Dina Neal, who sponsored the legislation, stated the law was created to provide long-overdue benefits and protections for substitute teachers.
