1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, upon the request of a parent or legal guardian of a pupil who is enrolled in a charter school, the board of trustees of the school district in which the pupil resides shall authorize the pupil to participate in a class that is not available to the pupil at the charter school or participate in an extracurricular activity, excluding sports, at a public school within the school district if:
(a) Space for the pupil in the class or extracurricular activity is available; and
(b) The parent or legal guardian demonstrates to the satisfaction of the board of trustees that the pupil is qualified to participate in the class or extracurricular activity.
2. If the board of trustees of a school district authorizes a pupil to participate in a class or extracurricular activity, excluding sports, pursuant to subsection 1, the board of trustees is not required to provide transportation for the pupil to attend the class or activity. The provisions of subsection 1 do not apply to a pupil who is enrolled in a charter school and who desires to participate on a part-time basis in a program of distance education provided by the board of trustees of a school district pursuant to NRS 388.820 to 388.874, inclusive. Such a pupil must comply with NRS 388.858.
3. Upon the request of a parent or legal guardian of a pupil who is enrolled in a charter school, the board of trustees of the school district in which the pupil resides shall authorize the pupil to participate in sports at the public school that he or she would otherwise be required to attend within the school district, or upon approval of the board of trustees, any public school within the same zone of attendance as the charter school if:
(a) Space is available for the pupil to participate; and
(b) The parent or legal guardian demonstrates to the satisfaction of the board of trustees that the pupil is qualified to participate.
4. If the board of trustees of a school district authorizes a pupil to participate in sports pursuant to subsection 3, the board of trustees is not required to provide transportation for the pupil to participate unless there is space available on the transportation provided by the board of trustees and the parent of the pupil or the charter school makes arrangements for the pupil to be at a designated place to be picked up at a designated time.
5. The board of trustees of a school district may revoke its approval for a pupil to participate in a class, extracurricular activity or sports at a public school pursuant to subsections 1 and 3 if the board of trustees or the public school determines that the pupil has failed to comply with applicable statutes, or applicable rules and regulations of the board of trustees, the public school or the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association. If the board of trustees so revokes its approval, neither the board of trustees nor the public school is liable for any damages relating to the denial of services to the pupil.
