prohibit a school district from offering a reward to or imposing disciplinary action on a student to incentivize the return of required parental consent forms.

This bill prohibits school districts in South Dakota from offering rewards or imposing disciplinary actions to encourage students to return parental consent forms. It directly affects school administrators, students, and parents by removing incentives tied to compliance with consent form requirements. The law aims to ensure that student participation in programs is not influenced by fear of punishment or promises of benefits. Schools must instead rely on voluntary cooperation without using rewards or penalties to secure parental consent.
