SB 174

This bill requires Nevada school districts and charter schools to develop policies for providing medically necessary treatment and services to students with disabilities who receive individualized education programs (IEPs) or are covered under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The policies must ensure parental rights, establish protocols for private instructional personnel, prohibit fees for these services, and require districts to report data on these provisions. Additionally, the bill updates minimum standards for special education programs, specifically regarding instruction in Braille and assistive technology for students with visual and hearing impairments, and clarifies the definition of ‘volunteer’ to include private instructional personnel providing services to students with disabilities.
