The teachers' union has paused strike preparations, following a news conference by Governor Stave Sisolak.
On Friday, Sisolak urged the Clark County School District to reach a deal with the Clark County Education Association to avoid a strike.
Sisolak said the district came to legislators multiple times with different funding estimates but never requested money for the professional development program created in 2016.
Officials say participants were told they could collect a $5,400 salary increase after completing three years of professional development. More than 2,500 teachers participated.
District officials say they’re offering a one-time payment of over $5,000 to all employees who qualify if they can find the funds and the program is replaced.
The union says a September 10 district-wide teacher strike is still on the table.
