NAC386.825. Attempts to circumvent requirements for eligibility of pupil.

     1. A pupil who circumvents or attempts to circumvent the requirements for eligibility of a school or school district or the Association, or any other state athletic association, is ineligible to participate in any sanctioned sport for not more than 360 school days as determined by the Executive Director or a designee thereof.

     2. If reasonable cause exists to believe that a pupil has transferred from a school or a school district in which a school is located to another school or school district in which a school is located, or has transferred to a school from outside this State with the intent to circumvent the requirements for eligibility of the Association or any school or school district, or an out-of-state school, school district or state athletic association, the pupil must prove, in accordance with the provisions of NAC 386.850 to 386.858, inclusive, that the transfer was based on a reason that is unrelated to the circumvention of those requirements for eligibility.

     3. If a pupil specified in subsection 2 fails to carry the burden of proof required by the provisions of NAC 386.850 to 386.858, inclusive, the Executive Director or the designee shall declare the pupil ineligible to participate in a sanctioned sport for the remainder of the school year in which the declaration is made and for an additional 180 school days after the expiration of the school year.

     4. If the Executive Director or the designee determines that a pupil or his or her parent or legal guardian has falsified any records or information relating to a transfer, the Executive Director or the designee shall declare the pupil ineligible to participate in all sanctioned sports for 2 years after the date of the last game, contest or meet in which the pupil participated.
