NAC389.686. Exemptions for certain high schools from requirements for graduation.

The Superintendent of Public Instruction may exempt from the requirements for graduation from high school students graduating from a high school with less than 100 students if the school is unable to obtain certified staff to meet the requirements. Before the beginning of the school year for which an exception is to be effective, the superintendent of a school district with such a high school with less than 100 students may apply to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for an exception from the graduation requirements enacted after July 1, 1988. This exception may be approved at the discretion of the Superintendent of Public Instruction for those high schools with less than 100 students that are unable to recruit certified staff to meet the requirements. The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall notify in writing the superintendent of the school district of the exceptions that have been granted or denied and furnish a report to the State Board of Education of each exception granted at the next regularly scheduled meeting after the exception is granted.
