A person who possesses knowledge and experience in one or more of the following areas: Accounting Financial services Law Human resources Roles and qualifications may overlap among committee and board members, but each category must be specifically filled by separate persons: For example, the person filling Category 4 may have knowledge and experience in both accounting and law, but that person cannot fill both Categories 4 and 5; a different person with knowledge and experience in accounting, financial services, law, and/or resources must fill Category 5. Categories 4 and 5 may be filled by different persons who, for example, both possess knowledge and experience in accounting only, although this is discouraged by the Department because a variety of experience on the board is preferable. In addition to the requirements stated above for required membership of the board and committee are restrictions addressing who may not be on the board and committee: NAC 386.345: 1. A majority of the members of the governing body of a charter school must reside in the county in the charter school is located. 2. The membership of the governing body of a charter school shall not include: (a) An employee of the governing body or charter school, including, without limitation, an administrator or teacher. (b) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, any person who: (1) Owns, operates, is employed by or receives compensation from a corporation, business, organization or other entity that enters into a contract with the governing body or charter school; or (2) Is related by blood or marriage to a person described in subparagraph (1). Pursuant to the requirements of NRS 332.800, a person described in this paragraph may serve on the governing body if he has entered into a contract with the governing body to provide goods or services to the charter school without profit or at no cost to the charter school. The governing body shall maintain documentation of the terms of such a contract.
Additionally, a written charter may be revoked if the charter school has filed for a voluntary bankruptcy, is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or is otherwise financially impaired such that the charter school cannot continue to operate. A charter may also be revoked if there is reasonable cause to believe that revocation is necessary to protect the health and safety of the pupils who are enrolled or of the persons who are employed by the charter school. Rights of Pupils and Families The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment, and the Military Recruiter Provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 all clarify rights of families and pupils enrolled in public schools, including charter schools.

Also see Appendix E. SAIN Automated Student Information System/PowerSchool NRS 386.650 specifically requires charter school participation in the SAIN/Powerschool system. NAC 386.365 clarifies that a charter school must report data required by NRS 386.650 to its sponsor by the beginning of the charter school’s first year of operation. This means that data must be in the state student information system by the first day of instruction for the school. A charter school should use software, hardware and telecommunications that are compatible with its sponsor to fulfill data transfer requirements between the charter school and the sponsor. Charter school applicants should contact the proposed sponsor very early in the application process to learn about SAIN/PowerSchool requirements and to obtain an estimate of the startup and ongoing costs associated with SAIN/
