Nevada Administrative Code
Chapter 388D - Alternative School Choices
Section 388D.080 - Application to receive grant from registered scholarship organization; responsibilities of organization; order of priority to award grants
Universal Citation: NV Admin Code 388D.080
Current through February 27, 2024
1. The parent or guardian of a pupil who meets the requirements to receive a grant pursuant to NRS 388D.270 may apply to a scholarship organization registered with the Department pursuant to NAC 388D.030 for such a grant. A scholarship organization may charge each family that applies for a grant on behalf of one or more children of the family an administrative fee of not more than $25.
2. A scholarship organization shall:
(a) Establish written
procedures that the scholarship organization will use to determine whether a
pupil meets the requirements to receive a grant pursuant to
NRS
388D.270 and to award grants on behalf of
qualified pupils.
(b) Post the
procedures established pursuant to paragraph (a) on an Internet website
maintained by the scholarship organization and provide a written copy of the
procedures with each application form.
(c) Provide an application form to be
completed by an applicant for a grant. A scholarship organization may only
award a grant on behalf of a pupil for whom a complete application is submitted
but is not required to award a grant to a pupil solely because his or her
application is complete.
(d) Verify
annually that each pupil on behalf of whom the organization awards a grant is a
member of a household that has a household income which is not more than 300
percent of the federally designated level signifying poverty. Such verification
must:
(1) Use the most recent federal poverty
guidelines published in the Federal Register by the United States Department of
Health and Human Services; and
(2)
Calculate household income based on the most recent formulas established by the
Food and Nutrition Service of the United States Department of Agriculture for
determining eligibility of pupils for free and reduced-price meals.
3. A scholarship organization shall award grants on behalf of pupils in the following order of priority:
(a) A grant must be awarded for the
current school year on behalf of a pupil on whose behalf a grant was awarded
for the immediately preceding school year before a grant is awarded on behalf
of any other pupil.
(b) A grant
must be awarded on behalf of the sibling of a pupil on whose behalf a grant has
been awarded for the current school year before a grant is awarded on behalf of
other pupils.
(c) A grant must be
awarded on behalf of a pupil who is not described in paragraph (a) or (b) in
the order in which the completed application is received. If there are an
insufficient number of grants available to award a grant on behalf of each
pupil for whom a complete application was received on the same day:
(1) A grant must be awarded on behalf of a
pupil who is a member of a household that has a lower household income before a
grant is awarded on behalf of a pupil who is a member of a household that has a
higher household income;
(2) If two
or more applicants are members of households that have the same household
income, a grant must be awarded on behalf of the pupil who is enrolled in a
public school that has received a lower rating based on the most recent annual
report of the statewide system of accountability for public schools before a
grant is awarded on behalf of a pupil who is enrolled in a public school that
has received higher ratings; and
(3) If two or more applicants are members of
households that have the same household income and attend public schools that
received the same rating based on the most recent annual report of the
statewide system of accountability for public schools, grants must be awarded
on behalf of pupils in this category on a random basis.
