South Dakota schools can now earn a "Purple Star" designation if they meet requirements to support military-connected students, including appointing a military liaison, providing relevant information on their website, and offering transition programs and staff training. This new designation recognizes schools that go above and beyond in welcoming and supporting students with military family backgrounds as they enroll and adjust to a new school community.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
