§ 385A.070. Program of accountability for school districts and certain charter schools; preparation of annual report of accountability by school districts and sponsors of charter schools

1. The board of trustees of each school district in this State, in cooperation with

associations recognized by the State Board as representing licensed educational personnel

in the district, shall adopt a program providing for the accountability of the school

district to the residents of the district and to the State Board for the quality of

the schools and the educational achievement of the pupils in the district, including,

without limitation, pupils enrolled in charter schools sponsored by the school district. The board of trustees of each school district shall report the information required

by NRS 385A.070 to 385A.320 , inclusive, for each charter school sponsored by the school district. The information for charter schools must be reported separately. 2. The board of trustees of each school district shall, on or before December 31 of

each year, prepare for the immediately preceding school year a single annual report

of accountability concerning the educational goals and objectives of the school district,

the information prescribed by NRS 385A.070 to 385A.320 , inclusive, and such other information as is directed by the Superintendent of Public

Instruction. A separate reporting for a group of pupils must not be made pursuant to NRS 385A.070 to 385A.320 , inclusive, if the number of pupils in that group is insufficient to yield statistically

reliable information or the results would reveal personally identifiable information

about an individual pupil. The Department shall use the mechanism approved by the United States Department

of Education for the statewide system of accountability for public schools for determining

the minimum number of pupils that must be in a group for that group to yield statistically

reliable information. 3. The State Public Charter School Authority, each college or university within the

Nevada System of Higher Education and each city or county that sponsors a charter

school shall, on or before December 31 of each year, prepare for the immediately preceding

school year an annual report of accountability of the charter schools sponsored by

the State Public Charter School Authority or institution, as applicable, concerning

the accountability information prescribed by the Department pursuant to this section. The Department, in consultation with the State Public Charter School Authority,

each college or university within the Nevada System of Higher Education and each city

or county that sponsors a charter school, shall prescribe by regulation the information

that must be prepared by the State Public Charter School Authority and institution,

as applicable, which must include, without limitation, the information contained in

subsection 2 and NRS 385A.070 to 385A.320 , inclusive, as applicable to charter schools. The Department shall provide for public dissemination of the annual report of accountability

prepared pursuant to this section by posting a copy of the report on the Internet

website maintained by the Department. 4. The annual report of accountability prepared pursuant to this section must be presented

in an understandable and uniform format and, to the extent practicable, provided in

a language that parents can understand.
