3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Beginning July 1, 2026, students can apply to attend a public school outside their assigned zone if that grade has space. Districts must open most schools to transfers, cannot charge tuition or fees, and must post applications, deadlines, and capacity at least 90 days before taking applications. If capacity later drops, the district must explain the change at least 15 days before decisions. When seats are tight, students from zones with one of the two lowest school ratings get priority. Districts cannot consider grades, arts or sports ability, disability, English learner status, or home address. A student suspended for 10 or more days or expelled this year or last can be denied. If approved, the student can stay without reapplying in later years. If denied or ignored, families can appeal to the district superintendent, whose decision is final. The state reviews district policies, posts quarterly seat vacancies by grade, publishes annual transfer counts, and provides applications in the five most common non‑English languages.
Beginning July 1, 2026, a district that runs buses can choose not to bus students who transfer outside their zone. To help with travel, the state may offer transportation grants if money is available. Grants can go to organizations or to a parent or guardian and can pay only for rides to and from the out‑of‑zone public school. Families must tell the Department if the student changes schools. You may qualify if all are true: you live in a zone whose school was rated in the bottom two statewide last year, your district chose not to bus out‑of‑zone students, and no other viable ride is available. The Department sets full rules and application steps.
School districts may accept gifts and grants to carry out the out‑of‑zone transfer rules. Extra local costs to implement this act are not limited by the rule in NRS 354.599. These funding tools apply upon passage for planning and setup, and the main transfer rules take effect July 1, 2026.
