About Nevada PIE
In an effort to seek appropriate educational services for her son, Rhonda Glyman founded Nevada PIE in 2003. Today, recognized as a “National Role Model” by the U.S. Department of Education, Nevada PIE is a collaboration of the following groups:
- The Clark County School District
- The Nevada System of Higher Education
- The Public Education Foundation
- A caring community
Nevada PIE exists to strengthen public school education that is respectful of and responsive to the many cultures, languages and diverse learning styles of Nevada’s children and youth. We provide expanded opportunities for all students to access knowledge and achieve high standards according to their ability so that all students can realize the great promise of America. Our goals are to:
- Hold high expectations for student success as we assist all students in learning and performing their best
- Make sure each and every student feels welcome and is learning within an environment of mutual respect
- Collaborate with families and other community members in building inclusive schools and communities.
Since its inception, Nevada PIE has leveraged community involvement and raised more than $1 million to support schools’ and educators’ efforts toward systemic change in public education.
