Recently, Assembly Bill 235, a Nevada law which states that on or before September 30 of each year, the board of trustees of a school district and the governing body of a charter school that enrolls pupils in grade 4 or grade 12 shall ensure that such pupils and the parents or legal guardians of such pupils receive information on the Nevada College Kick Start Program established pursuant to NRS 353B.335. The Kickstart Program also hosts monthly Nevada College Kick Start Zoom webinars. These webinars provide detailed information on how to claim a child’s Nevada College Kick Start account and are a great resource for schools and families.
