Citing a costly burden to provide the proper level of support and oversight, the Nevada State Board of Education has put a temporary halt on the review of new charter school applications. Nevertheless, Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons and the State Charter School Leadership Team are pushing the charter school movement ahead and holding a "Governor's Summit on Charter Schools" on May 2 in Carson City. Meeting plans include a discussion on the creation of a state association and policy development for the coming year. Charter school leaders are hopeful that a statewide association will form. "In the past getting schools going has been such a battle," said Craig Butz, executive director of Odyssey Charter School in Las Vegas and a member of the state's leadership team. "Everyone's been busy looking out for their own things." But it's never been more important for charter schools to find strength in numbers, he said.
