1. To determine the proficiency of a pupil pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 1 of NRS 387.131, the Department shall use, for a pupil who is:

(a) An English learner in any grade, the assessment of proficiency in the English language prescribed by the State Board pursuant to NRS 390.810.

(b) In kindergarten or grade 1 or 2, the assessment implemented by the Department for those grades.

(a) The proficiency of pupils in nearby grade levels if an assessment for a grade level has not been fully implemented;  or

(b) Information on credit deficiency for any grade in high school for which insufficient information exists to identify all such pupils.
