Nevada Administrative Code › Chapter 391 - EDUCATIONAL PERSONNEL › GENERAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING LICENSURE › Section 391.077 - Extension of time prescribed for renewal of license or for validity of provisional license; time for filing request for extension; period of validity

Current through June 11, 2024
1. The Superintendent of Public Instruction
			 may extend the time prescribed for renewal of a license or for the validity of
			 a provisional license if:
(a) The licensee
			 provides proof that a course or test required for renewal of his or her license
			 or removal of the provision under which his or her provisional license was
			 issued was not available during the time his or her license was
			 valid.
(b) The licensee provides
			 proof that:
(1) The licensee was issued the
			 provisional license while residing outside of this State; and
(2) The test required for removal of the
			 provision under which his or her provisional license was issued was not
			 available to the licensee during the time his or her license was valid because
			 the licensee was residing outside of this State on the date when the test was
			 offered.
(c) The
			 Department's file relating to the licensee contains adequate documentation that
			 the licensee was misinformed about the requirements necessary to renew his or
			 her license or remove the provision under which his or her provisional license
			 was issued.
(d) The licensee took
			 the wrong test or course necessary to renew his or her license or remove the
			 provision under which his or her provisional license was issued.
(e) The licensee provides written proof from
			 a representative of a religious denomination, sect or organization that a
			 course or test necessary to renew his or her license or remove a provision
			 under which his or her provisional license was issued was offered only during a
			 time which conflicted with the religious beliefs of the licensee.
(f) The unemployment of the licensee or
			 personal medical expenses incurred by the licensee which were not covered under
			 a plan of health insurance caused financial debts in excess of the personal
			 income of the licensee and prevented the licensee from complying with the
			 financial requirements for renewal of the license or removal of the provision
			 under which his or her provisional license was issued.
(g) The licensee suffered a medical condition
			 which prevented the licensee from satisfying the requirements for renewal of
			 his or her license or removal of the provision under which his or her
			 provisional license was issued and the licensee provides written proof:
(1) From a licensed physician that the
			 licensee suffered from such a medical condition, including the duration of the
			 medical condition; and
(2) Of the
			 number of days the licensee worked during the time that his or her license was
			 valid.
(h) The licensee
			 suffered mental anxiety caused by a physical or mental condition which
			 prevented the licensee from passing the test or course required for renewal of
			 his or her license or removal of the provision under which his or her
			 provisional license was issued. The licensee must provide written proof from a
			 licensed physician that the licensee suffered such mental anxiety.
(i) A medical condition or administrative
			 problem prevented the licensee from complying with the requirements for renewal
			 of his or her license or removal of the provision under which his or her
			 provisional license was issued and the Superintendent of Public Instruction
			 determines that the medical condition or administrative problem is adequate to
			 justify the extension. Such an administrative problem may include, without
			 limitation, the inability by the Central Repository for Nevada Records of
			 Criminal History to process the fingerprints of the licensee.
(j) The provisional license of the licensee
			 expires during a school year and the removal of the licensee from his or her
			 position of employment would have a detrimental effect on the pupils who are
			 taught by the licensee, as determined by the Superintendent of Public
			 Instruction. If an extension is granted pursuant to this paragraph, the
			 extension expires on the last school day of the academic term for which the
			 extension was granted or the time period prescribed in subsection 3, whichever
			 occurs first.
