NRS388.854. Permission of board of trustees required for full-time enrollment; written agreement between board of trustees and provider of distance education program.

      1.  Before a pupil may enroll full-time in a program of distance education that is provided by a school district other than the school district in which the pupil resides, the pupil must obtain the written permission of the board of trustees of the school district in which the pupil resides. Before a pupil who is enrolled in a public school of a school district may enroll part-time in a program of distance education that is provided by a charter school, the pupil must obtain the written permission of the board of trustees of the school district in which the pupil resides. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 388.850 or other specific statute, a board of trustees from whom permission is requested pursuant to this subsection shall grant the requested permission.

      2.  A pupil who enrolls part-time in a program of distance education that is provided by a school district other than the school district in which the pupil resides or enrolls full-time in a program of distance education that is provided by a charter school is not required to obtain the approval of the board of trustees of the school district in which the pupil resides.

      3.  If the board of trustees of a school district grants permission pursuant to subsection 1, the board of trustees shall enter into a written agreement with the board of trustees or governing body, as applicable, that provides the program of distance education. A separate agreement must be prepared for each year that a pupil enrolls in a program of distance education. If permission is granted pursuant to subsection 1, the written agreement required by this subsection is not a condition precedent to the pupil’s enrollment in the program of distance education.
