A parent or guardian who has legal custody of a child may petition the appropriate district court for an order directing the board of trustees of a school district or the governing body of a charter school to enroll that child in a public school within that district under a name other than the name which appears in the identifying document or records required by subsection 1 of NRS 392.165. Except as otherwise provided by specific statute, the court shall issue the order if it determines that to do so would be in the best interests of the child.
