1. During the first 3 years of his or her employment by a school district in the position of principal, a principal is employed at will in that position. A principal who is reassigned pursuant to this subsection is entitled to a written statement of the reason for the reassignment. If the principal was previously employed by the school district in another position and is reassigned pursuant to this section, the principal is entitled to be assigned to his or her former position at the rate of compensation provided for that position. 2. A principal who completes the probationary period set forth in NRS 391.820 in the position of principal is again employed at will if, in each of 2 consecutive school years: (a) The rating of the school to which the principal is assigned, as determined by the Department pursuant to the statewide system of accountability for public schools, is reduced by one or more levels or remains at the lowest level possible; and (b) Fifty percent or more of the teachers assigned to the school request a transfer to another school. 3. If the events described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection 2 occur with respect to a school for any school year: (a) The school associate superintendent or other administrator of the school district who oversees the school must provide mentoring to the principal of the school; and (b) The school district shall conduct a survey of the teachers assigned to the school to evaluate conditions at the school and the reasons given by teachers who requested a transfer to another school. The results of the survey do not affect the employment status of the principal of the school. 4.
