Sen. Beers exposed the myth of Nevada spending the least amount for education to a voter in his reply below:

Good news, Diane! We are, in fact, not among the lowest states in our nation in education funding! That is fiction perpetrated by our professional educrat community (coincidentally, paid above the national average for educators and administrators, and well above our surrounding states), who claim we are amongst the lowest in operating costs per student. They accomplish this by having their accountants misclassify a chunk of operating funds as capital funds (in educrat talk, it’s actually “non-current” funding). Since you’re a CPA, you’ll understand this allegory: if you misclassified your current assets as long-term assets, you’ll drive your current ratio into the basement, but still have a business that is plenty liquid.

The National Center for Education Statistics, run by the US Dept. of Education, can’t be buffaloed as easily as parents who don’t have the time to untangle our educrat’s deceptive rhetoric. They rank us around 35th of 51 states in education funding.
