NRS 385.315 - Deputy Superintendent for Administrative and Fiscal Services: Additional duties.

In addition to any other duties, the Deputy Superintendent for Administrative and Fiscal Services, under the direction of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, shall:

1. Investigate any claim against any school fund or an account established under NRS 354.603, 386.570 or 392A.083, as applicable, whenever a written protest against the drawing of a warrant, check or order in payment of the claim is filed with the county auditor, the sponsor of the charter school or the Department. If, upon investigation, the Deputy Superintendent finds that any such claim is unearned, illegal or unreasonably excessive, the Deputy Superintendent shall notify the county auditor and the clerk of the board of trustees, the governing body of the charter school or the governing body of the university school for profoundly gifted pupils who drew or authorized the order for the claim, stating the reasons in writing why the order is unearned, illegal or excessive. If so notified, the county auditor shall not draw his or her warrant in payment of the claim nor shall the board of trustees, governing body of the charter school or governing body of the university school for profoundly gifted pupils draw a check or order in payment of the claim from an account established under NRS 354.603, 386.570 or 392A.083, as applicable. If the Deputy Superintendent finds that any protested claim is legal and actually due the claimant, the Deputy Superintendent shall authorize the county auditor, the board of trustees, the governing body of the charter school or the governing body of the university school for profoundly gifted pupils, as applicable, to draw his or her warrant or its check or order on an account established under NRS 354.603, 386.570 or 392A.083, as applicable, for the claim, and the county auditor, the board of trustees or the appropriate governing body shall immediately draw his or her warrant or its check or order in payment of the claim.

2. Inspect the record books and accounts of boards of trustees, governing bodies of charter schools and governing bodies of university schools for profoundly gifted pupils and enforce the uniform method of keeping the financial records and accounts of school districts, charter schools and university schools for profoundly gifted pupils.
