Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 387.12468 requires each public school district and school to create a report that includes a description of the personnel employed and services provided during the immediately preceding school year and any changes the school anticipates making to the personnel and services during the current school year. According to the statute, these reports are to be posted on the respective district or school web site by January 1 of each year.

NDE developed separate templates for the school district and school reports and identified data sources for completing the report. The overarching goal is to complete the reports, to the extent possible, using readily available data, such as the NRS 387.303 report (often referred to as the “387 report”), Pupil-Centered Funding Plan annual allocation, and the final amended budgets for school districts. Additionally, the use of standardized data sources will allow for comparability of information between districts and individual schools.
