1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 392.268, if the daily transportation of a pupil is not practical or economical, the board of trustees, in lieu of furnishing transportation, may pay to the parents or guardian of the pupil an amount of money not to exceed $10 per day of attendance at school to assist the parents or guardian in defraying the cost of board, lodging and other subsistence expenses of the pupil to attend a public school in a city or town in this State or in an adjoining state. If the public school is in an adjoining county or state, costs for tuition and subsistence must be fixed by agreement between the boards of trustees of the school district in which the pupil resides and the school district in which the pupil attends school.

(a) The guardian or parents have been residents in the area for a period set by the board of trustees; and
(b) The Superintendent of Public Instruction determines that the arrangements comply with regulations of the State Board.
