Revises provisions governing competency-based education. (BDR 34-277)

AB 24 replaces Nevada’s temporary pilot program for competency-based education (CBE) with a permanent system. It allows school districts, charter schools, university schools for gifted pupils, and charter school committees to apply directly to the Department of Education for approval to implement CBE programs. Key provisions include requiring schools to develop public plans, demonstrate student proficiency through portfolios or task performance (not just seat time), and ensure compliance with graduation and assessment requirements. The bill directly affects schools seeking to adopt CBE, which lets students advance upon mastering skills rather than time spent in class.
