HB1258

This bill creates "child safety accounts" that allow parents to request funding from their school district if a safety incident at school cannot be resolved to their satisfaction. When a parent requests an account, the school board must deposit an amount equal to the average yearly per-pupil cost of South Dakota schools (prorated if the incident occurs mid-year), plus additional funding if the student has an IEP or 504 plan. The school district must then notify the state Department of Education about any accounts created.
