AB 185, sponsored by Assemblywoman Erica Mosca, adds children of military servicemembers as a priority category for the purposes of charter school enrollment, and provides placement stability for military-connected students. "Existing law authorizes a charter school to give preference in enrollment to certain children before enrolling children who are otherwise eligible for enrollment (NRS 388A.456). This bill authorizes a charter school to give the same preference to a child who has a parent or legal guardian who is a member of the military. Existing law also requires the superintendent of a school district or his or her designee to make reasonable efforts to accommodate a pupil who transfers to a public school in the district due to the military transfer of the parent or legal guardian of the pupil (NRS 388F.070). This bill authorizes such a pupil to: (1) use the address of a military installation to which a parent or legal guardian of the pupil has a documented pending military transfer as the address of the pupil for all purposes relating to enrollment until the pupil notifies the public school of the actual address at which the pupil will reside in the appropriate attendance area. This bill also requires a pupil who enrolls in a public school, charter school or university school for profoundly gifted pupils for all or part of a school year pursuant to the provisions of this bill to provide proof of residency before the beginning of the next school year if the pupil plans to enroll in the school for the next school year."

Nevada defines "military" as any or all of the Armed Forces.
