South Dakota schools must now monitor all exterior doors during school hours—either with staff physically present if doors are unlocked, or through video surveillance if doors are locked. The state will also establish a new anonymous tipline (website, phone, or app) where people can report dangerous, violent, or unlawful activity at schools, with reports referred to school officials or law enforcement as needed, and each school district must publicize this tipline to students and families.
