South Dakota schools must now notify parents before administering standardized tests, assessments, or conducting evaluations or observations of their children, including the date these activities will occur. When schools test or evaluate students specifically to determine eligibility for special education services or disability accommodations, schools must give parents the test results at least five business days before the school holds any planning meetings about the student's educational needs.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
