1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, if a public school that is not a Title I school is designated as demonstrating need for improvement pursuant to NRS 385.3623 for 5 or more consecutive years for failure to make adequate yearly progress:

(a) The Department may, for a charter school sponsored by the State Board or by a college or university within the Nevada System of Higher Education, take corrective action as set forth in NRS 385.3744 or proceed with consequences or sanctions, or both, as prescribed by the State Board pursuant to NRS 385.361.

(b) The board of trustees of a school district may, for a school of the school district or a charter school sponsored by the board of trustees, take corrective action as set forth in NRS 385.3744 or proceed with consequences or sanctions, or both, as prescribed by the State Board pursuant to NRS 385.361.

2. The Department shall monitor the implementation of the turnaround plan for the school developed pursuant to NRS 385.3745.

The Department or the board of trustees of a school district, as applicable, shall grant a delay from the imposition of corrective action, consequences or sanctions pursuant to this section for a school, including, without limitation, the development and implementation of a turnaround plan, for a period not to exceed 1 year if the school qualifies for a delay in the manner set forth in 20 U.S.C. 6316(b)(7)(D).

(a) Notice that the board of trustees or the Department, as applicable, will proceed with consequences or sanctions for the school;

(b) An opportunity to comment before the consequences or sanctions are carried out; and

(c) An opportunity to participate in the development of the consequences or sanctions.
