§ 388A.243. Duties of applicant to ensure application meets certain requirements; charter management organization authorized to request waiver of requirements concerning membership of governing body

1. The applicant shall ensure that the completed application: (a) Presents a clear, measurable and high-quality academic, financial and organizational

vision and plans for the proposed charter school; and (b) Provides the proposed sponsor of the charter school with a clear basis for assessing

the capacity of the applicant to carry out the vision and plans. 2. A charter management organization may, as part of an application to form a charter

school, request a waiver of the requirements of subsection 1 or 2 of NRS 388A.320 concerning the membership of the governing body. A sponsor shall not grant such a waiver unless the charter management organization

provides a compelling reason for the waiver. If approved, the waiver may provide, without limitation, for multiple governing

bodies that have the authority to make decisions concerning the governance of the

charter school or a facility operated by the charter school. A majority of the members of each such governing body must reside in this State. A request for a waiver to allow for multiple such governing bodies must describe

the role, responsibilities and composition of each such proposed governing body.
