If there is an emergency which necessitates the closing of a particular school for a day because of natural disaster, uncontrollable circumstances, an accident or inclement weather, including, without limitation, hazardous air conditions, the day may be counted as a school day in session for that school if the Superintendent of Public Instruction finds that it is justified by the emergency. All requests for such approval must be submitted in writing to the Superintendent of Public Instruction.2. If the closing of all schools in a school district is necessary under the conditions specified in subsection 1 and the duration of the closing exceeds the number of required contingent days, the Superintendent of Public Instruction may permit any additional day to be counted as a school day in session if the school district: (a) Has in place a program of distance education pursuant to NRS 388.820 to 388.874, inclusive, which has been approved by the Department and which includes the schools that are to be closed; and(b) Certifies to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, in a form prescribed by the Department, that affected pupils will be provided with all necessary services, including, without limitation, nutrition services and any services required to comply with a pupil's individualized education program or plan developed pursuant to section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 794.Nev.
