SB 374 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to education. (BDR 34-752)

SB 374 requires Nevada public schools to collect and report additional discipline data, including temporary alternative placements, alongside existing suspension and expulsion records. It mandates all school districts to provide staff with professional development training on behavior management, restorative practices, and trauma-informed approaches by June 30, 2030, with annual reporting on training participation. The bill also establishes a statewide restorative justice framework to address disproportionate discipline and creates a system for districts to improve school climate and safety. These provisions directly affect public schools, school districts, and charter schools by changing data collection, staff training requirements, and accountability reporting.

Additionally, the list of strategies to address pupil discipline was expanded to include positive behavioral interventions and school social workers.
