Old Schools in Ely, Nevada: Fighting for New Education Buildings.

Two old schools in Ely, Nevada need help. They are over 100 years old and have many problems. These problems make it hard for students to learn and can be dangerous.

The schools have asbestos and no elevators. One school does not have good heating or a sprinkler system. A student had to learn online because he could not use the stairs.

It would cost a lot of money to fix the schools. It might be cheaper to build a new school. But the town does not have enough money to do this because it is small.

A state lawmaker wants to help these small towns. She has a plan to get the state to give them money. This money would help them build new schools or fix the old ones.

Nevada does not usually help schools with money. Schools usually get money from local taxes. The lawmaker's plan would use state bonds to give money to the schools, and the schools would pay it back later.
