Calaveras County Superintendent of Schools Scott Nanik
Calaveras county has a strong history of offering educational options to students and families. With the onset of COVID-19, schools had to adjust quickly to new models for learning. The goal of educational leaders in Calaveras is to ensure various educational opportunities that fit students and their families’ individual needs.
Two new bills currently in the California legislature threaten educational options for families. AB 1316 and SB 593 propose to change how Calaveras county families can access education. AB 1316 is an 80+page bill addressing audit and accounting standards, funding, independent study, contracts, attendance, teacher assignments, school calendars and oversight. SB 593 is a lighter bill addressing some of the same issues. Their intent is to eliminate legislative loopholes that some questionable charter schools have exploited for financial gain.

A gathering of that sort was not possible this year, with COVID-19 restrictions, so NCSOS pivoted and created a new competition for young writers.

The Nevada County Superintendent of Schools’ annual writing tournament went virtual this year due to the pandemic, resulting in the first Nevada County Creative Writing Competition.
During most years’ tournament, local middle school students are invited to gather at the Miner’s Foundry and compete in informative writing, persuasive writing, and creative writing.
