13-33-19. Recommended high school program and basic high school program--Enrollment and completion requirements.
For students entering the ninth grade in the 2006-2007 school year and thereafter, a school district shall require that each student enrolls in courses of instruction necessary to complete the recommended high school program established by the South Dakota Board of Education Standards pursuant to §13-1-12.1. However, a student entering the ninth grade in the 2006-2007, 2007-2008, 2008-2009, or 2009-2010 school years may be excused from taking courses of instruction necessary to complete the recommended high school program if the student's parent or guardian and a school counselor or school administrator agree that the student should instead take courses of instruction necessary to complete the basic high school program also established by the board pursuant to §13-1-12.1.
Any student who is seeking eligibility in the South Dakota scholarship program established in §13-55-30 and is therefore adhering to the high school course requirements as provided in Board of Regents Policy Number 2:3(2)(F) as in effect on January 1, 2003, meets the requirements of this section.
