| NV | Signed into law 06/2011 | P-12 | Under existing law, each school district is required to schedule and provide annually a minimum of 180 days of school and a charter school is required to provide at least as many days of school as are required for other public schools in the school district in which the charter is located. For the 2011-2013 biennium, Section 6.5 of this bill authorizes the board of trustees of a school district and the governing body of a charter school to request a waiver of not more than 5 noninstructional days from the required minimum number of school days for a school year in that biennium during an economic hardship to avoid the layoff of teachers and other educational personnel employed by the school district or charter school. A request for a waiver must be reviewed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction and, if approved, transmitted to the Interim Finance Committee, which makes the final determination of whether to grant a waiver. The circumstances in which an economic hardship exists for a school district or charter school are identical to the circumstances in which an economic hardship exists under existing law for a school district or charter school to request a waiver from the required minimum expenditures for textbooks, instructional supplies, instructional software and instructional hardware. Section 7 sets forth the intent of the legislation in establishing a program certified by the the board of trustees of a school district or the governing body of a charter school whereby employees of school districts and charter schools who are members of the Public Employees' Retirement System and who take furlough leave due to extreme fiscal need be held harmless in the accumulation of retirement service credit and reported salary. Section 7 further sets forth provisions concerning the furlough leave as it relates to the Public Employees' Retirement System in a manner similar to the furlough program of state employees.

Moves the requirement that the department submit a plan for extending the school year from 2012 to 2015. Provides that the plan must be for increasing the instructional day to 190 days beginning with the 2018-19 school year, rather than 2015-16 school year, as previously required.
Directs the department of education to re-examine what constitutes student instructional hours, determine current levels of student instructional hours at each school, and assess the ability of all schools to comply with the requirements of certain statutory requirements, and report such findings to the legislature by September 2011.
