This bill establishes a formal process for parents to submit and resolve concerns regarding school procedures or practices in South Dakota. It mandates that school district boards adopt procedures for parents to notify school principals of their concerns and outlines a timeline for resolution. If a concern is not satisfactorily addressed within thirty days, the school must provide a written statement explaining the lack of resolution. Parents can then escalate the issue to the school board, requesting a hearing to discuss their concerns.

The bill details the requirements for a parental concern hearing, including necessary information that must be included in the request, such as the child's name, address, and a description of the concern. Upon receiving a request, the school board is required to appoint a hearing officer to investigate the matter and propose a resolution within thirty days. The board must then respond to the proposed resolution within seven days, providing written reasons if they choose to reject or modify it. Finally, the board is tasked with issuing a final written decision on the matter, which may include temporary relief if necessary.
