During the 2019-2020 school year, South Dakota school districts are exempt from several education requirements, including certain accountability system standards and standardized testing requirements that would normally apply. Students in grades 4, 8, and 11 receiving alternative instruction are also waived from taking nationally standardized achievement tests for that year. The bill declares an emergency so these exemptions take effect immediately.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
