Chapter 387 - Financial Support of School System
NRS 387.122 - Establishment of statewide multiplier for pupils with disabilities.
1. In addition to the support provided from the State Education Fund pursuant to NRS 387.1214, the support provided for the public schools of this State must include a statewide multiplier for pupils with disabilities or an amount determined necessary to satisfy any applicable requirement for maintenance of effort under federal law. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the funding provided to each school district and charter school through the statewide multiplier for pupils with disabilities or amount determined necessary to satisfy any applicable requirement for maintenance of effort under federal law is limited to the actual number of pupils with disabilities enrolled in the school district or charter school, not to exceed 13 percent of total pupil enrollment for the school district or charter school.
2. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, if a school district or charter school has reported an enrollment of pupils with disabilities equal to more than 13 percent of total pupil enrollment, the school district or charter school must receive, for each such additional pupil, an amount of money equal to one-half of the statewide multiplier then in effect for pupils with disabilities or a reasonably similar level of funding. An apportionment made to a school district or charter school pursuant to this subsection is subject to change from year to year in accordance with the number of pupils with disabilities enrolled in the school district or charter school. If the money available for apportionment pursuant to this subsection is insufficient to make the apportionment otherwise required by this subsection, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall proportionately reduce the amount so apportioned to each school district and charter school. The Department shall account separately for any money apportioned pursuant to this subsection.
