Educators In Washoe County Plan Rally For More Education Funding

Educators in Washoe County are holding a rally Saturday morning to bring attention to poor working condition and low education funding in Nevada.

The rally will take place from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. in front of the Washoe County Complex.

The Reno Gazette-Journal reports officials organizing the rally said the goal is to encourage voters to support pro-education candidates who are committed to funding Nevada’s schools.
