"Sec. 2. Chapter 393 of NRS is hereby amended by adding thereto a new section to read as follows:
A school district that has more than 150,000 pupils enrolled shall develop and adopt a policy concerning the renovation or reconstruction of older buildings for schools or related facilities. As part of the policy, consideration must be given to the relative advantages and disadvantages of the renovation or reconstruction of older buildings for schools or related facilities as compared to the design, construction or purchase of new buildings for schools or related facilities. The policy must include, without limitation, guidelines for use by the board of trustees in determining whether older buildings should be renovated or reconstructed or whether new buildings to replace those older buildings should be constructed or purchased.
Sec. 3. 1. The board of trustees of a school district that has more than 150,000 pupils enrolled shall establish a pilot program to replace schools. The school district may use an amount not to exceed $15 million from the proceeds of the bonds issued pursuant to subsection 3 or 4 of NRS 350.020 to:
(a) Evaluate older schools within the district to determine the need for renovation or reconstruction of those schools; and
(b) Reconstruct one existing elementary school designated by the board of trustees.
2. The purpose of this section is to provide authority to expend the proceeds of the bonds issued pursuant to subsection 3 or 4 of NRS 350.020 for reconstruction that is additional to and does not replace, repeal or limit any existing authority to so expend such proceeds.
3. On or before February 1, 2001, the school district shall submit an interim report regarding the pilot program to replace schools, including, without limitation, the evaluation of the older schools and the progress of the reconstruction of the elementary school designated by the board of trustees to the director of the legislative counsel bureau for transmission to the 71st session of the Nevada legislature.".
