Specifications include, but are not limited to: The CSF is to review the academic progress made by pupils in each public school since the previous implementation of the Pupil-Centered Funding Plan, including, without limitation, any changes to the academic progress of such pupils as the result of any additional money provided to each such school by the Pupil-Centered Funding Plan in the past. The CSF will require each school district and each charter school shall submit a quarterly report to the Commission that identifies how funding from the Pupil-Centered Funding Plan is being used to improve the academic performance and progress of pupils and includes, without limitation, all data or metrics collected by the school district or charter school to demonstrate such improvement. The Commission shall review the reports submitted pursuant to this subsection and transmit the reports, along with any commentary or recommendations relating to the reports, to the Governor, the Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau, the Joint Interim Standing Committee on Education, and the Interim Finance Committee. Work related to the project is anticipated to include, but is not limited to, a comprehensive review of the existing Nevada laws, the accountability framework, and the federal requirements for a framework, to identify all appropriate and meaningful performance measures and data sources to ensure accurate measures of student performance and education outcomes. The project will also need to identify measures that monitor the financial investment of each district, public school, charter, and university school and the direct programmatic impact on student performance and education outcomes and evaluate the Return on Investment (ROI). A proposing vendor will need to collaborate and communicate with the NDE and CSF as well as school districts, charter schools, and university schools in Nevada to develop uniform quarterly reporting templates and process that will aid the CSF in meeting their requirements to review and provide recommendations to the Interim Standing Committee on Education for consideration for transmittal to the Governor and the Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau for distribution to the Legislature.
