1. The applicant shall ensure that the completed application:
(a)Presents a clear, measurable and high-quality academic, financial and organizational vision and plans for the proposed charter school; and
(b)Provides the proposed sponsor of the charter school with a clear basis for assessing the capacity of the applicant to carry out the vision and plans.
2. A charter management organization may, as part of an application to form a charter school, request a waiver of the requirements of subsection 1 or 2 of NRS 388A.320 concerning the membership of the governing body. A sponsor shall not grant such a waiver unless the charter management organization provides a compelling reason for the waiver. If approved, the waiver may provide, without limitation, for multiple governing bodies that have the authority to make decisions concerning the governance of the charter school or a facility operated by the charter school.
A majority of the members of each such governing body must reside in this State. A request for a waiver to allow for multiple such governing bodies must describe the role, responsibilities and composition of each such proposed governing body.
