Existing law authorizes the board of trustees of a school district to build, purchase or rent certain buildings, including teacherages. (NRS 393.080) Section 10 of this bill expands this authority by authorizing the board of trustees of a school district to build, purchase or rent other residential dwellings for employees of the school district. Section 10 authorizes the board of trustees of a school district to own or rent teacherages or other dwellings directly or through a partnership with another entity. Section 1 of this bill authorizes the board of trustees of a school district to use money in certain funds and accounts for that purpose, and section 2 of this bill authorizes the board of trustees of a school district to issue general obligation bonds to raise money for that purpose. Section 11 of this bill requires the board of trustees of a school district to maintain residential dwellings for employees in such repair as is necessary for the comfort and health of teachers and other employees of the school district. Existing law requires the Commission on Professional Standards in Education to fix fees by regulation for the initial issuance of a license as a teacher or other educational personnel and the renewal of such a license. (NRS 391.040) Section 7.5 of this bill reduces the fees for the initial issuance and renewal of such licenses from not less than $100 to not more than $50. Section 13 of this bill provides that any regulations prescribing a fee greater than $50 for the initial issuance and renewal of such licenses are void.
