      1.  If a school district is required to suspend an employee pursuant to NRS 391.302, the superintendent of schools of the school district shall provide written notice of the suspension to the employee by personal delivery or by certified mail. The notice must:

      (a) Include a copy of the text of the provisions of NRS 391.301 to 391.309, inclusive;

      (b) Inform the employee that his or her employment will be terminated unless the employee reinstates his or her license within the time prescribed by subsection 2;

      (c) Set forth the date on which the period for reinstatement of the employee’s license will expire;

      (d) Advise the employee of his or her right to a hearing pursuant to NRS 391.308;

      (e) Include a copy of the form upon which the employee may request a hearing; and

      (f) Set forth the name and address of the person to whom a request for a hearing should be directed.

      2.  If an employee reinstates his or her license:

      (a) Within 90 days after the date of the notice of suspension; or

      (b) Within any longer period authorized by the superintendent of schools of the school district or the superintendent’s designee pursuant to NRS 391.308,

Ê the school district shall immediately reinstate the employee to the position that the employee held at the time of the employee’s suspension.

      3.  If an employee fails to reinstate his or her license within the time prescribed by subsection 2, his or her employment shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of the employee’s suspension pursuant to NRS 391.302. The superintendent of schools of the school district shall provide written notice of the termination to the employee by personal delivery or by certified mail. The failure of the employee to receive the notice required by this subsection does not render the termination ineffective.
