NV SB396

Department of Education must establish free professional development program for school staff on literacy instruction, including at least 20 hours annually on universal literacy screening and interventions for reading disabilities including dyslexia

Universal literacy screening required twice yearly for all students in kindergarten through grade 6, with written notification to parents within 20 days of results and immediate interventions for students showing indicators of dyslexia or below-grade-level literacy

Special education classroom size limits established (e.g., maximum 3 pupils with autism spectrum disorder, 8 with hearing/visual impairments, 9 with emotional disturbances per classroom without an aide) and prohibits reassigning special education staff to substitute in general education classrooms

Emergency operations plans must consider needs of students with disabilities during crises and inform law enforcement of specific needs of each disabled student to the extent permitted by FERPA

Before suspending or expelling a student with a disability who poses continuing danger or possesses a dangerous weapon, administrators must meet with the IEP team to determine if the behavior is a manifestation of the disability
