Group Asks AG To Investigate Head Of Nevada Charter Schools

A national public school choice group is asking the Nevada attorney general’s office to investigate the head of the State Public Charter School Authority.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the request comes just weeks after Patrick Gavin submitted his resignation amid concerns about his truthfulness and transparency.

The National Coalition for Public School Options sent a letter this week alleging Gavin had too close a relationship with the National Association of Charter School Authorizers.

He served as a member of a working group for the association and was nominated to its board of directors. State law would have required Gavin get approval from the rest of the authority before serving in such roles.
