1. If the Department determines that: (a) At least one irregularity in testing administration occurred at a school, including, without limitation, a charter school, during 1 school year on the examinations administered pursuant to NRS 390.105 ; (b) In the immediately succeeding school year in which an examination was administered pursuant to NRS 390.105 , at least one additional irregularity in testing administration occurred at that school on the examinations administered pursuant to NRS 390.105 ; and (c) Based upon the criteria set forth in subsection 2, the irregularities described in paragraphs (a) and (b) warrant an additional administration of the examinations, the Department shall notify the school and the school district in which the school is located that the school is required to provide for an additional administration of the examinations to pupils who are enrolled in a grade that is required to take the examinations pursuant to NRS 390.105 or to the pupils the Department determines must take the additional administration pursuant to subsection 3. The additional administration must occur in the same school year in which the irregularity described in paragraph (b) occurred. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the school district shall pay for all costs related to the administration of examinations pursuant to this subsection. If a charter school is required to administer examinations pursuant to this subsection, the charter school shall pay for all costs related to the administration of the examinations to pupils enrolled in the charter school. 2. In determining whether to require a school to provide for an additional administration of examinations pursuant to this section, the Department shall consider: (a) The effect of each irregularity in testing administration, including, without limitation, whether the irregularity required the scores of pupils to be invalidated; and (b) Whether sufficient time remains in the school year to provide for an additional administration of examinations. 3. If the Department determines pursuant to subsection 2 that a school must provide for an additional administration of examinations, the Department may consider whether the most recent irregularity in testing administration affected the test scores of a limited number of pupils and require the school to provide an additional administration of examinations pursuant to this section only to those pupils whose test scores were affected by the most recent irregularity. 4. The Department shall provide as many notices pursuant to this section during 1 school year as are applicable to the irregularities occurring at a school. A school shall provide for additional administrations of examinations pursuant to this section within 1 school year as applicable to the irregularities occurring at the school.
