Nevada § 388.165 - Development of academic plan required

§ 388.165. Development of academic plan required

1. The board of trustees of each school district shall adopt a policy for each middle

school and junior high school in the school district to develop an academic plan for

each pupil enrolled in the grade level at which the middle school or junior high school

initially enrolls pupils. The academic plan must set forth: (a) The specific educational goals that the pupil intends to achieve before promotion

to high school; (b) An identification of the courses required for promotion to high school; (c) An identification of all honors courses, career and technical education courses

and other educational programs, courses and pathways available to the pupil which

will assist in the advancement of the education of the pupil; and (d) A description of the expectations of the teachers of pupils who are enrolled in

middle school or junior high school. 2. The policy must require each pupil enrolled in his or her initial year at the middle

school or junior high school and the pupil's parent or legal guardian to: (a) Have sufficient opportunities to work in consultation with a school counselor

to develop an academic plan for the pupil; (b) Review the academic plan; and (c) Review the academic plan at least once each school year until the pupil is promoted

to high school in consultation with the school counselor and revise the plan as necessary. 3. If a pupil enrolls in a middle school or junior high school after the initial year

of enrollment for that middle school or junior high school, an academic plan must

be developed for that pupil with appropriate modifications for the grade level of

the pupil. 4. An academic plan for a pupil must be used as a guide for the pupil and the pupil's

parent or legal guardian to plan, monitor and manage the pupil's educational development

and make determinations of the appropriate courses of study for the pupil. If the pupil does not satisfy all the educational goals set forth in the academic

plan, the pupil is eligible for promotion to high school if the pupil otherwise satisfies

the requirements for promotion to high school.
