چکیده
Nevada Facts & Statistics • In the 2012-13 academic year, students of color comprised 63 percent of the statewide student population, while teachers of color represented only 19 percent of the corps. • Within the Clark County School District (CCSD), whites represented only 26.2 percent of the student body in academic year 2015-16, but 72.9 percent of the teachers. • Nevada’s diversity index is among the largest in the nation (Nevada: 42 vs U.S.: 30). • Given the acute and persistent shortage of teachers in Nevada and the state’s demographic composition, non-whites represent a large, relatively untapped potential pool of teachers.
