Nevada Revised Statutes Title 34. Education § 392.165. Documents required for permanent enrollment; name under which child must be enrolled; notification to local law enforcement agency for failure to furnish documents

1. The board of trustees of a school district and the governing body of a charter school shall not allow a child to be permanently enrolled in any school in the district or any charter school until the parent or guardian of the child furnishes a birth certificate or other document suitable as proof of the child's identity and, if applicable, a copy of the child's records from the school the child most recently attended.

2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a child must be enrolled in a school under the child’s name as it appears in the identifying document or records required by subsection 1, unless the parent or guardian furnishes a court order or decree authorizing a change of name or directing the board of trustees of the school district or the governing body of a charter school to enroll the child under a name other than the name which appears in the identifying document or records.

3. A child who is in the custody of the agency which provides child welfare services, as defined in NRS 432B.030, may be enrolled in a school under a name other than the name which appears in the identifying document or records required by subsection 1 if the court determines that to do so would be in the best interests of the child.

4. If the parent or guardian fails to furnish the identifying document or records required by subsection 1 within 30 days after the child is conditionally enrolled, the principal, superintendent or governing body of a charter school shall notify the local law enforcement agency and request a determination as to whether the child has been reported as missing.
