SDCL § 13-15-21: Enrollment in adjoining school districts in Minnesota.

Any student who resides in a South Dakota school district adjoining a school district in Minnesota may enroll in the adjoining school district in Minnesota under one of the following options:

(1) Any school board that operates a K-8 school or does not operate a school may contract with the adjoining school district in Minnesota;

(2) Any school board may assign students to the adjoining school district in Minnesota. Any person who is aggrieved by the assignment decision of the school board may request a hearing within thirty days before the secretary of the Department of Education or the secretary's representative. If the Department of Education has not rendered a decision within thirty days following final submission of appeal, the board's decision is affirmed; or

(3) Any school board may enter into a memorandum of agreement with the school board of the adjoining school district in Minnesota to permit students from both school districts to enroll in either school district.

The intention of a Minnesota student to enroll in a South Dakota school shall be made known to the affected school before July first of the school term.
