Funding

How Nevada funds schools

Nevada funds districts through the Pupil-Centered Funding Plan, which sets a statewide base per-pupil amount — about $9,416 per pupil for 2025–26 — and adds weighted funding for at-risk, English-learner, gifted-and-talented and special-education students. State and local revenue flow into the State Education Fund and are distributed on this per-pupil basis, replacing the old Nevada Plan.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Lincoln School District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability
