1. If the sponsor of a charter school revokes a written charter or terminates a charter contract pursuant to NRS 388A.300 or 388A.330, the sponsor may:

(a) Petition the district court to appoint a receiver, to be paid from the funds of the charter school, to oversee and manage the charter school until other arrangements are made for pupils who attend the school.

(b) Issue a request for proposals inviting the governing body of another charter school to negotiate with the owner, mortgagor or lienholder of the facilities in which the charter school operated for the purpose of operating an additional campus of the other charter school under the sponsorship of either the sponsor of the charter school for which the written charter has been revoked or the charter contract has been terminated or the sponsor of the charter school that intends to operate an additional campus. If the governing body proposes to operate an additional campus of the other charter school under the sponsorship of:

(1) The sponsor of the charter school for which the written charter has been revoked or the charter contract has been terminated and the sponsor is not the sponsor of the charter school currently operated by the governing body, the governing body must, before the additional campus begins operating, also submit to the sponsor of the charter school for which the written charter has been revoked or the charter contract has been terminated and receive approval for an application to form a charter school pursuant to NRS 388A.243 and 388A.246.

(2) The sponsor of the charter school currently operated by the governing body, the governing body must, before the additional campus begins operating, also submit a request for and receive approval of an amendment to its written charter or charter contract to consolidate charter schools pursuant to NRS 388A.270, 388A.279 and 388A.282.

2. Before selecting a governing body to operate another campus of an existing charter school to replace a charter school whose written charter has been revoked or whose charter contract has been terminated pursuant to subsection 1, the sponsor must consider:

(a) The performance record of the charter school in this State and other states;

(b) The plan of the governing body for improving pupil achievement and school performance;

(c) The suitability of the proposed academic program for pupils who were enrolled in the charter school before the revocation of the written charter or the termination of the charter contract; and

(d) Input from members of the community in which the charter school is located and parents who were enrolled in the charter school before the revocation of the written charter or the termination of the charter contract, including, without limitation, the input described in subsection 1 of NRS 388A.336.
