§ 394.145. Documents required for permanent admission; name under which child must be admitted; failure or refusal to furnish accurate documents; penalty

1. A private elementary or secondary school in this State shall not permanently admit

any child until the parent or guardian of the child furnishes a birth certificate

or other document suitable as proof of the child's identity and, if applicable, a

copy of the child's records from the school the child most recently attended. 2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a child must be admitted to a school

under his or her name as it appears in the identifying document or records required

by subsection 1, unless the parent or guardian furnishes a court order or decree authorizing

a change of name or directing the principal or other person in charge of that school

to admit the child under a name other than the name which appears in the identifying

document or records. 3. A child who is in the custody of the agency which provides child welfare services,

as defined in NRS 432B.030 , may be admitted to a school under a name other than the name which appears in the

identifying document or records required by subsection 1 if the court determines that

to do so would be in the best interests of the child. 4. If the parent or guardian fails to furnish the identifying document or records

required by subsection 1 within 30 days after the child is conditionally admitted,

the principal or other person in charge of the school shall notify the local law enforcement

agency and request a determination as to whether the child has been reported as missing. 5. Any parent, guardian or other person who, with intent to deceive under this section: (a) Presents a false birth certificate or record of attendance at school; or (b) Refuses to furnish a suitable identifying document, record of attendance at school

or proof of change of name, upon request by a local law enforcement agency conducting

an investigation in response to notification pursuant to subsection 4, of a child under 18 years of age who is under his or her control or charge, is guilty

of a misdemeanor.
