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.
2. A
request for an extension pursuant to subsection 1 must be received by the
Superintendent of Public Instruction at least 30 calendar days before the
expiration of the license or provisional license. If such a request is received
less than 30 calendar days before the expiration of the license or provisional
license, the licensee is not guaranteed a decision on the request before the
license becomes invalid or expires. A request for an extension which is
postmarked or received after the date of expiration of the license or
provisional license will not be considered by the Superintendent of Public
Instruction.
3. The Superintendent
of Public Instruction may grant an extension pursuant to subsection 1 for a
period of not more than 6 months after the date on which a license or
provisional license is set to expire. In no case may the Superintendent of
Public Instruction grant more than one extension during the same period of
licensure.
