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. If a concern is not resolved to the parent's satisfaction within thirty days, the school must provide a written statement explaining the reasons for the lack of resolution. Parents can then escalate the issue to the school district board and request a parental concern hearing.

The bill details the requirements for requesting a parental concern hearing, including necessary information such as the child's name, address, school, 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 and must provide written reasons for any changes. Finally, the board is required to issue a final written decision on the matter, which may include temporary relief if the case is remanded for further proceedings.
