District coverage

One row per unit in frame. The table opens on each unit's coverage code and flags; Detailed adds the evidence note, the source, how the page was read, the pass at which the code was set, and every other column. Search, filter by code or agency type, and page through every row.

• NONE FOUND is a statement about publication, not about service delivery.
• Obligations under IDEA are not evidence of a program.

Operator silence

Counted in both directions for each statewide provider: the provider's own published count, and the agencies in frame that name the provider as a Deaf and hard of hearing service mechanism, named outright.

As of September 28, 2026, the release date of this version.

Publication against identified population

Identified population

553 2024-10-01 Source 1

In agencies that publish a program

408 2024-10-01 Source 1

Of 553 pupils identified with hearing impairment statewide on the baseline, 408 sit in a unit that both operates a deaf program and publishes its count (Clark). At the wider unit-cell level, the share of the statewide count carried in any published unit cell (program or not) is 451 of 553 (81.6 percent) on the baseline (Clark 408 plus the State Public Charter School Authority 43, which operates no program) and 525 of 544 on the 2025 comparison year (Clark 406, Washoe 55, State Public Charter School Authority 42, Lyon 12, Elko 10). The state suppresses a unit cell of nine or fewer with an asterisk, so most rural units' entire hearing-impairment count is a suppressed cell.

As of September 28, 2026, the release date of this version.

Identified population by agency

Each unit with an identified count the state publishes or suppresses, with its coverage code, so the measure above can be recounted from the file. A mark such as an asterisk is the state's suppression mark, as published; an empty cell is a count the state does not publish for the unit.

• NONE FOUND is a statement about publication, not about service delivery.
• Obligations under IDEA are not evidence of a program.

State indicators

As of September 28, 2026, the release date of this version.

Identified population over time

The count of identified students with hearing impairment and with deaf-blindness as the primary category, for each year the state publishes, as published. Where two instruments give a count for the same year, both rows are shown with their sources. No change between years is computed.

As of September 28, 2026, the release date of this version.

Fiscal channels

The channels at FRM-003, each with its status. Amounts are as published, nominal, and marked enacted or appropriated; they are not added across channels, and no per-pupil figure is computed.

As of September 28, 2026, the release date of this version.

Workforce

The standards and the supply behind a Deaf child's classroom: the qualification the state requires of an educational interpreter, the training and preparation programs, the teacher of the deaf credential, shortage designations, the paraprofessional, intervener, and audiologist standards, and the special education workforce. Each figure is as published; no ratio is computed.

As of September 28, 2026, the release date of this version.

The frame

The frame is the twenty local educational agencies the Nevada Department of Education counts in its 2025-26 directory and its IDEA child count: the seventeen county school districts, the State Public Charter School Authority, the University unit (Davidson Academy) and the Correctional unit (Independence High School, Nevada Youth Training Center). The charter organizations the Authority and the districts sponsor are a class carved out of the frame under NRS 388A.088 and swept for deaf and hard of hearing content, not counted as units.

Frame count

20

Frame

Exhaustive

The deaf and blind boundary decision

Deaf-blindness is carried where the state's child count and the Nevada Dual Sensory Impairment Project name it; the state's 1 October 2024 count is 10, the NCDB 1 December 2024 count is 120, and the two are recorded side by side and never reconciled because they rest on different definitions.

Reference years and frameworks

Enrollment and child count

Baseline is the 1 October 2024 IDEA child count (D-032); the 1 October 2025 count is shown for comparison; enrollment is 2025-26.

Fiscal

FY2025-26 and FY2026-27, the Pupil-Centered Funding Plan biennium under SB 500 (2025).

Institutional framework

As in force on the run date, 27 September 2026.

Frameworks applied

FRM-001 1.0, FRM-002 1.0, FRM-003 1.0, FRM-004 1.0, FRM-005 1.0, STD-002 1.2

The method as applied

Normalizations in force

Every normalization applied in this run: the FRM-004 set and the state's own standing false positives, as the file records them.

• A universal-screening sentence naming hearing (Churchill County) is coded MENTION under the screening normalization, not a program.
• An eligibility or disability-category list naming hearing impairment (Elko County) is coded MENTION under the definition-only normalization.
• An outside-agency resource link with hearing content (Lyon County, the Nevada Dual Sensory Impairment Project) is coded MENTION with the provider named, under the undifferentiated-outside-agency normalization.
• USDA nondiscrimination boilerplate naming American Sign Language (Carson City) is a standing false positive, not hearing content.
• A speech-language pathologist titled in 'Speech Pathology and Audiology' is an SLP, not an audiologist (the Maine normalization).
• An American Sign Language course sets the ASL-course indicator without changing the coverage code (Doral Academy of Northern Nevada).
• For a multi-campus charter network one campus host is swept in full and the others are listed unread; the sweep tests the class carve-out, not the frame.
• NONE FOUND is a statement about publication, not about service delivery; a suppressed child-count cell is kept as the state's asterisk, never filled.

The method and its known limitations

Four limitations bound this run. The Nevada Early Intervention Services (Part C) pages are robots-blocked to the harness fetch and were not read in the rendered browser, so the established-conditions rule and the transition at three are a retrieval gap. The Department's IEP form was not read, so how the consideration duty of NRS 388.437 sits on it is not established. Most by-district hearing-impairment cells are suppressed by the state, so the baseline publication measure rests on the two published cells (Clark and the State Public Charter School Authority) against the statewide total. The IDEA Part B and Part C allocations were not obtained, and the Department of Taxation's tax-credit scholarship reports could not be located, so participation by disability in that program is unknown.

Disclosure

Novara Consulting Group LLC, the publisher of the Index, has no financial, partnership or funding relationship with any Nevada body named in this file. On 29 September 2026 the publisher met the Executive Director of the Nevada Commission for Persons Who Are Deaf and Hard of Hearing (Aging and Disability Services Division) about the Index and its funding; the Commission is recorded as a prospect contacted, no agreement or payment exists, and the meeting changed nothing in this file. In the correction process for v1.0 the program lead, Heather M. Grizzle, corresponded with the Nevada Commission for Persons Who Are Deaf and Hard of Hearing (Aging and Disability Services Division, 21 September 2026) and with the Governor's Office, Boards and Commissions (17 and 18 September 2026) about the vacant deaf-member seat and the dissolved Nevada Association of the Deaf seat; these are correspondence in the ordinary correction process, not a relationship, and they produced the v1.1 corrections carried into this version.

Version history

• v2.0

  September 28, 2026, cause: re-audit

  Re-audit and upgrade. The twenty in-frame units re-read from source on 27 September 2026 (attempt one) and the charter carve-out re-swept; the codes held unit for unit. Identified-population figures re-anchored to the 1 October 2024 baseline (D-032) with 2025 beside them. Data modules rewritten to the schema 1.3 contract and validated through the generic adapter. Evidence notes moved into the workbook for every unit (D-052). The v1.1 corrections (Nevada Association of the Deaf dissolved, seat held by Lee Bullock; deaf-member seat vacant) carried into the record.

• v1.0

  September 6, 2026, cause: first release

  First processed. Compiled 6 September 2026 as the fifteenth fully conforming file: frame of 20 in-frame local educational agencies with the 63-organization charter carve-out under NRS 388A.088, two published programs (Clark, Washoe), the publication-against-identified-population measure run for the first time from the state's own by-district child count, the fiscal channels, the interpreter registry, reconcile.py and the STD-003 checklist. No release package or report was built on it.
