§ 388A.456. Priority enrollment for certain children; timeline for lottery; school districts required to create, maintain and post list regarding enrollment

1. Before a charter school enrolls pupils who are eligible for enrollment pursuant

to NRS 388A.453 , a charter school may enroll a child who: (a) Is a sibling of a pupil who is currently enrolled in the charter school. (b) Was enrolled, free of charge and on the basis of a lottery system, in a prekindergarten

program at the charter school or any other early childhood educational program affiliated

with the charter school. (c) Is a child of a person: (1) Who is employed by the charter school; (2) Who is a member of the committee to form the charter school; (3) Who is a member of the governing body of the charter school; or (4) Who resides on or is employed on the federal military installation, if the charter

school is located on a federal military installation; (d) Is enrolled at a charter school with which the charter school has an articulation

agreement, approved by the sponsor, providing for priority enrollment. (e) Is in a particular category of at-risk pupils and the child meets the eligibility

for enrollment prescribed by the charter school for that particular category. (f) At the time his or her application is submitted, is enrolled in a public school

of a school district with an enrollment that is more than 25 percent over the public

school's intended capacity, as reported on the list maintained by the school district

pursuant to subsection 4. If a charter school enrolls pupils who are enrolled in such a public school before

enrolling other pupils who are eligible for enrollment, the charter school must enroll

such pupils who reside within 2 miles of the charter school before enrolling other

such pupils. (g) At the time his or her application is submitted, is enrolled in a public school

that received an annual rating established as one of the two lowest ratings possible

indicating underperformance of a public school, as determined by the Department pursuant

to the statewide system of accountability for public schools for the most recent school

year for which the public school received an annual rating. If a charter school enrolls pupils who are enrolled in such a public school before

enrolling other pupils who are eligible for enrollment, the charter school must enroll

such pupils who reside within 2 miles of the charter school before enrolling other

such pupils. (h) Resides within the school district and within 2 miles of the charter school if

the charter school is located in an area that the sponsor of the charter school determines

includes a high percentage of children who are at risk. If space is available after the charter school enrolls pupils pursuant to this paragraph,

the charter school may enroll children who reside outside the school district but

within 2 miles of the charter school if the charter school is located within an area

that the sponsor determines includes a high percentage of children who are at risk. (i) Has a parent or legal guardian who is a member of the military. 2. If more pupils described in this section who are eligible apply for enrollment

than the number of spaces available, the charter school shall determine which applicants

to enroll pursuant to this section on the basis of a lottery system. 3. A lottery held pursuant to subsection 2 must be held not sooner than 45 days after

the date on which a charter school begins accepting applications for enrollment unless

the sponsor of the charter school determines there is good cause to hold it sooner. 4. Each school district shall create and maintain a list which specifies for each

public school of the school district, the maximum enrollment capacity for each school,

the actual number of pupils enrolled at each school and the percentage by which enrollment

at each school exceeds the intended enrollment capacity, if applicable. Each school district shall post the list on the Internet website maintained by the

school district as soon as practicable after the count of pupils is completed pursuant

to NRS 387.1223 but not later than November 1 of each year. 5. As used in this section, “ member of the military ” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 176A.043 .
