Existing law: (1) prohibits discrimination based on race, bullying and cyber-bullying on the premises of a school, at an activity sponsored by a school or on any school bus; and (2) establishes various provisions governing the protocol for addressing violations of such prohibitions. (NRS 388.135-388.137) Under existing law, after such a violation is reported to an administrator or his or her designee, the administrator or his or her designee is required to begin an investigation into the reported violation. If the findings of such an investigation show that a violation occurred, existing law requires the administrator or his or her designee to make recommendations concerning disciplinary action or other measures to be imposed against the pupil who was the perpetrator of the violation. Additionally, existing law requires the board of trustees of a school district to assign a pupil who is a victim of discrimination based on race, bullying or cyber-bullying to another school in the district if his or her parent or guardian requests the assignment. (NRS 388.1351) This bill: (1) authorizes the board of trustees of a school district to assign a pupil who is a perpetrator of discrimination based on race, bullying or cyber-bullying to another school in the district at the request of his or her parent or guardian; and (2) prohibits the victim and perpetrator from being assigned to the same school if both pupils are assigned to a new school as a result of the violation.
