Public-Private Microschooling Partnerships: The Southern Nevada Urban Micro Academy Model. Sketching a New Conservative Education Agenda
Campbell, Ashley; Soifer, Don
American Enterprise Institute
The Southern Nevada Urban Micro Academy (SNUMA) is a first-of-its-kind partnership between the North Las Vegas city government and an innovation-focused education nonprofit to create microschools, operated entirely outside of incumbent public school systems and designed specifically as an in-person solution for city families to counter pandemic learning loss. SNUMA microschools produced academic learning gains that surpassed those of local public schools--and at a fraction of their average, per-pupil funding levels. This report outlines the successful SNUMA model and explains how it could be scaled nationally.
