Students who have enlisted in the South Dakota National Guard or U.S. Armed Forces can now wear military decorations like sashes or stoles at their high school graduation ceremonies, as long as those items were officially issued by the military. This creates a new permission that schools must allow, removing any previous restrictions on wearing such military regalia during graduation.
