Nev. Admin. Code § 385B.758 - Passing grades during season; periodic reviews of pupil's progress

1. Each pupil who participates in a sanctioned sport must maintain a passing grade for each course he or she takes during the season.

2. If it is determined during an interim progress review conducted pursuant to section 7 of this regulation that a pupil who otherwise meets the requirements of NAC 385.750 to 385B.770, inclusive, and sections 3 to 8, inclusive, of this regulation is receiving a failing grade in an academic course, the school that conducted the interim progress review shall place the pupil on probation for 1 week. A pupil who is placed on probation remains eligible to participate in the sanctioned sport in which he or she participates during the probationary week and an interim progress review of the pupil must be conducted on the Friday of the probationary week.

3. If a pupil who is placed on probation pursuant to subsection 2 continues to maintain a failing grade at the interim progress review conducted on the Friday of the probationary week, the school that conducted the interim progress review shall declare the pupil to be ineligible to participate in a sanctioned sport for the period beginning on the Monday after he or she is declared ineligible and ending on the first Saturday after that Monday.

4. If a pupil is declared ineligible after the probationary week, the school shall conduct an interim progress review of the pupil each week until the pupil becomes eligible, regardless of whether that period extends beyond the next scheduled interim progress review. If the pupil becomes eligible, an interim progress review of the pupil must be conducted at the next regularly scheduled interim progress review and the pupil is entitled to another probationary week.

5. If an interim progress review is scheduled for the day before a holiday or vacation for the school, and if a pupil has received a failing grade at the time the review is conducted:

(a) The pupil remains eligible to participate in a sanctioned sport during the holiday or vacation; and

(b) The school that conducted the interim progress review shall place the pupil on probation beginning on the first school day after the holiday or vacation.

6. A pupil who is placed on probation the week before a school holiday or vacation is eligible to participate in a sanctioned sport if the school determines that the pupil has maintained passing grades in all classes at the interim progress review conducted on the last school day of the probationary week and immediately before the holiday or vacation. If the school determines that the pupil has not maintained passing grades after that interim progress review is conducted, the pupil remains ineligible during the holiday or vacation.

7. A pupil who is declared ineligible because the pupil has not maintained passing grades in all courses not more than 2 weeks before a school holiday or vacation remains ineligible to participate in the sanctioned sport until achieving a passing grade as determined by each weekly interim progress review conducted pursuant to this section.

8. If a pupil withdraws or is excluded from a class because he or she received a failing grade during a semester, the school shall, immediately after the record of the withdrawal or exclusion becomes available, declare the pupil ineligible to participate in the sanctioned sport for the period beginning on the Monday after he or she withdraws or is excluded and ending on the first Saturday after that Monday. The provisions of this subsection do not exempt a pupil from complying with the requirement set forth in subsection 1 of section 4 of this regulation.
