    IMPACT on Traffic Violations

    Two bills are making their way through the Assembly right now that will have a big impact on how we handle traffic violations. AB116, introduced by District 10 Assemblywoman Rochelle Wwyn, would make traffic violations - and their attendant fees - a civil rather than a criminal violation. That means if people don’t pay their fees, government entities in Nevada cannot put them in jail. AB151, sponsored by District 16 freshman Assemblywoman Cecilia Gonzalez, would make it against the law to take someone’s driver’s license away for unpaid traffic fines. Thousands of people a year end up in jail because they can’t afford to pay their fees, or have their license suspended but still must get to work. This often means loss of job, loss of homes, loss of residency status. All for making a right turn on red when they weren’t supposed to.

    IMPACT on Data Insights

    Back in October - you know, when we had nothing to do and weren’t stressing about the future of the free world - Nathan Trenholm and Justin White filed a lawsuit against the Clark County School District. Trenholm and White are the proprietors of Data Insight Partners, which contracts with school organizational teams - SOTs - to provide data to admin, teachers, students and parents in over 35 schools. Data Insight Partners started after the passage of AB469 - commonly known as the reorganization law - or “reorg” for short. The reorg created autonomous school zones and was supposed to create a “marketplace” whereby schools could “buy” services that they needed from the central district. For instance, everyone needs maintenance, which the District provides. So a line item is taken out of each school’s budget for maintenance. If a school wanted to hire an extra maintenance person for special events, they could - out of their own budget. They could also buy services from outside vendors. Venders like… Data Insight Partners. I’ve talked with about half a dozen principals who all say things like, “Their data dashboards provides the school they partner with the ability to get really granular.” Or Data Insight software allows their teachers to “get into the weeds” But this fall, the Clark County School District forced schools to use THEIR data software. Their newly created data software. Which looks like a clone of Data Insight Partners’ software. Except… it doesn’t work as well and isn’t reliable. One principal told me, “It’s just a smidge better than spreadsheets.” Oops.
