This bill establishes a formal process for parents to submit and resolve concerns regarding school procedures or practices in South Dakota public schools. It mandates that school district boards adopt procedures for parents to notify school principals of their concerns and outlines a resolution process. Upon resolution, schools are required to inform parents of the actions taken. If a concern is not resolved within thirty days, the school must provide a statement explaining the lack of resolution, allowing parents to escalate the issue to the school board and request a hearing.

The bill further details the requirements for requesting a parental concern hearing, including necessary information such as the child's name, address, and a description of the concern. Upon receiving a request, the school board must appoint a hearing officer to investigate the matter and propose a resolution within thirty days. The board has the authority to accept, reject, or modify the hearing officer's recommendations, providing written reasons for any changes. Finally, the board is required to issue a final written decision, which may include temporary relief if the matter is remanded for further proceedings.
