each grade, and for each subject matter wherever different subjects are taught in

distribution of pupils in each grade; and (c) Methods of instruction used, which may include educational television, team teaching
or new teaching systems or techniques. 2. If the Superintendent of Public Instruction finds that any school district is maintaining
one or more classes whose pupil-teacher ratio exceeds the applicable maximum, and
unless the Superintendent finds that the board of trustees of the school district
has made every reasonable effort in good faith to comply with the applicable standard,
the Superintendent shall, with the approval of the State Board, reduce the count of
pupils for apportionment purposes by the percentage which the number of pupils attending
those classes is of the total number of pupils in the district, and the State Board
may direct the Superintendent to withhold the quarterly apportionment entirely. 3. The provisions of this section do not apply to a charter school, a university school
for profoundly gifted pupils, a program of distance education provided pursuant to NRS 388.820 to 388.874 , inclusive, or a challenge school.
