NRS 387.2062 - Reduction in basic support for failure to comply with required minimum expenditure. [Effective through June 30, 2021.]

1. On or before January 1 of each year, the Department shall determine whether each school district, charter school and university school for profoundly gifted pupils has expended, during the immediately preceding fiscal year, the required minimum amount of money set forth in the notice or the revised notice, as applicable, provided pursuant to subsection 3 of NRS 387.206. In making this determination, the Department shall use the report submitted by:

(a) The school district pursuant to NRS 387.303.

(b) The charter school pursuant to NRS 388A.345.

(c) The university school for profoundly gifted pupils pursuant to NRS 388C.250.

2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, if the Department determines that a school district, charter school or university school for profoundly gifted pupils, as applicable, has not expended the required minimum amount of money set forth in the notice or the revised notice, as applicable, provided pursuant to subsection 3 of NRS 387.206, a reduction must be made from the basic support allocation otherwise payable to that school district, charter school or university school for profoundly gifted pupils, as applicable, in an amount that is equal to the difference between the actual combined expenditure for textbooks, instructional supplies, instructional software and instructional hardware and the minimum required combined expenditure set forth in the notice or the revised notice, as applicable, provided pursuant to subsection 3 of NRS 387.206. A reduction in the amount of the basic support allocation pursuant to this subsection:

(a) Does not reduce the amount that the school district, charter school or university school for profoundly gifted pupils, as applicable, is required to expend on textbooks, instructional supplies, instructional software and instructional hardware in the current fiscal year; and

(b) Must not exceed the amount of basic support that was provided to the school district, charter school or university school for profoundly gifted pupils, as applicable, for the fiscal year in which the minimum expenditure amount was not satisfied.

3. If the actual enrollment of pupils in a school district, charter school or university school for profoundly gifted pupils is less than the enrollment included in the projections used in the biennial budget of the school district submitted pursuant to NRS 387.303, the budget of the charter school submitted pursuant to NRS 388A.345 or the report of the university school for profoundly gifted pupils submitted pursuant to NRS 388C.250, as applicable, the required expenditure for textbooks, instructional supplies, instructional software and instructional hardware pursuant to NRS 387.206 must be reduced proportionately.
