NRS 391.3127 during validation study.

1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 391.31211, for the 2013-2014 school year, the board of trustees of each school district shall comply with the policy for the evaluation of administrators as set forth in this section instead of NRS 391.3127. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 391.31211 and 391.31212, if the Interim Finance Committee makes a determination pursuant to NRS 391.31217 that all school districts which participated in the validation study of the statewide performance evaluation system pursuant to NRS 391.31213 are not prepared to implement the evaluation system, the board of trustees of each school district shall, for the 2014-2015 school year, comply with the policy for the evaluation of administrators as set forth in this section instead of NRS 391.3127.

2. Each board of trustees, following consultation with and involvement of elected representatives of administrative personnel or their designated representatives, shall develop an objective policy for the objective evaluation of administrators in narrative form. The policy must set forth a means according to which an administrator s overall performance may be determined to be satisfactory or unsatisfactory. The policy must require that the information maintained pursuant to paragraphs (c), (d) and (e) of subsection 1 of NRS 386.650 account for a significant portion of the evaluation, as determined by the board of trustees. The policy may include an evaluation by the administrator, superintendent, pupils or other administrators or any combination thereof. A copy of the policy adopted by the board of trustees must be filed with the Department of Education and made available to the Commission on Professional Standards in Education.

3. Each administrator must be evaluated in writing at least once a year.

4. Each probationary administrator is subject to the provisions of NRS 391.3128 and 391.3197.

5. Before a superintendent of a school district transfers or assigns an administrator to another administrative position as part of an administrative reorganization, if the transfer or reassignment is to a position of lower rank, responsibility or pay, the superintendent shall give written notice of the proposed transfer or assignment to the administrator at least 30 days before the date on which it is to be effective. The administrator may appeal the decision of the superintendent to the board of trustees by requesting a hearing in writing to the president of the board within 5 days after receiving the notice from the superintendent. The board of trustees shall hear the matter within 10 days after the president receives the request, and shall render its decision within 5 days after the hearing. The decision of the board of trustees is final.
