Nevada Revised Statutes Title 34. Education § 386.417. Duties of board of trustees

1. The board of trustees of each school district shall review and revise the specifications for procuring goods and products for the schools in the district to eliminate discrimination against the procurement or purchase of recycled products whenever the quality of a recycled product is reasonably equal to the same product manufactured with virgin resources. Except for specifications which have been established to preserve the public health and safety, all specifications for procurement must be established in a manner which results in the maximum procurement and purchase of recycled products.

2. After consultation with the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the board of trustees of each school district shall adopt regulations governing the bidding procedure and specifications for paper and paper products purchased by the schools in the district that encourage the maximum purchase of recycled paper products. The specifications must give preference to recycled paper products manufactured with the highest percentage of recycled material.
