Alternative plan of attendance: May be requested when alternative plan of supervision is not approved; requirements; modification or rescission.

1. If the juvenile court does not approve an alternative plan of supervision pursuant to NRS 62F.130 for a child who has been adjudicated delinquent for a sexual offense or a sexually motivated act, the superintendent of the county school district or the executive head of the private school may request that the juvenile court approve an alternative plan of attendance for the child.

2. An alternative plan of attendance:

(a) Must be designed to prevent contact between the victim and the child during school hours and during extracurricular activities conducted on school grounds; and

(b) Must not interfere with or alter the schedule of classes or the extracurricular activities of the victim.

3. Before approving an alternative plan of attendance, the juvenile court shall provide notice and an opportunity to be heard to the child, the parent or guardian of the child, the district attorney, the victim and the parent or guardian of the victim.

4. If the juvenile court approves an alternative plan of attendance, the district attorney, the victim or the parent or guardian of the victim may petition the juvenile court to modify or rescind the alternative plan on the basis that:

(a) The alternative plan is not protecting the safety or the interests of the victim; or

(b) The child or the public school or private school is not complying with the alternative plan.

5. Upon receiving a petition to modify or rescind an alternative plan of attendance, the juvenile court may modify or rescind the alternative plan after providing notice and an opportunity to be heard to the child, the parent or guardian of the child, the district attorney, the victim, the parent or guardian of the victim and the superintendent of the county school district or the executive head of the private school.

6. If the juvenile court rescinds the alternative plan of attendance, the child is subject to the provisions of NRS 62F.100 to 62F.150, inclusive, as if the alternative plan had not existed.
