Education for the schools of Nevada to follow. Section 1 states that schools are to hire

superintendents that monitor and assess teaching. Section 2 states that schools are to be under a

district in order for the state to better maintain the schools and ensure proper attendance. Section

use of the land for anything that isn't educational results in a fine. Section 4 states that the state

will establish a university that represents the state as well as contain necessary subjects. Section

5 states that teachers and professors are required to take an oath given by the 15th article of the

Nevada Constitution, otherwise they will receive no pay. Section 6 states that public schools will

be provided funding through both the state and the public. Section 7 states that members of the
