For charter schools, the sponsor is the local educational agency. This includes the State Public Charter School Authority, Nevada colleges or universities that sponsor, and sponsoring cities or counties. Sponsors must provide a free appropriate public education and special education services. They must also send the right share of federal and state categorical grant funds to eligible charter schools. Charter schools that get these funds must follow the required reporting.
Local governments must handle any extra costs caused by this law. The usual rule in NRS 354.599 does not apply to these expenses. Local budgets must absorb these implementation costs.
When a charter school seeks renewal, its governing body must file by October 15 of the final school year. The application must include any supporting information that is not already in the sponsor’s performance report or in the school’s written response. This sets a clearer, stricter filing package for renewals.
The state charter school board now has nine voting members. Appointments: 2 by the Governor, 2 by the Senate Majority Leader (not legislators), 2 by the Assembly Speaker (not legislators), 2 by the State Board of Education, and 1 by the Charter School Association. Members must live in Nevada, and voting members must be at least 21. Appointers must include a charter‑school parent and people with skills in school finance, teaching, testing, technology, and charter law, and aim for geographic and ethnic diversity. Most members cannot have business ties to charter schools or management groups. Up to two members may be charter teachers or administrators only if their school is in good standing under its performance framework. New members get training when they join, and all voting members get yearly training on reviewing charter applications and governance. The board elects a Chair and Vice Chair for two‑year terms starting July 1 of odd‑numbered years. The Chair or a majority may call meetings; five voting members make a quorum that can act. Voting members can be paid up to $80 per meeting day, plus per diem and travel.
