Student education records are official and confidential documents protected by one of the nation's strongest privacy protection laws, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). FERPA, also known as the Buckley Amendment, defines education records as all records that schools or education agencies maintain about students.

Overlapping enrollments are permissible for up to 90 consecutive days according to South Dakota Administrative rule 24:17:03:05 if the student is dually enrolled at any of the following entities:

Short Term Group Care

1. ARISE Shelter Care Sioux Falls 49005
2. Avera Adolescent Addiction Care Program Sioux Falls -- 49005
3. Avera Behavioral Health Program Sioux Falls 49005
4. Our Home Rediscovery Huron 02002
5. Wellfully Addiction Recovery Unit & Behavior Health Unit -- Rapid City 51004

JDC's (Juvenile Detention Centers)

1. Aberdeen JDC 06001
2. Huron JDC 02002
3. Pierre JDC 32002
4. Rapid City JDC 51004
5. Sioux Falls JDC 49005
6. Wanbli Wiconi Tipi (Todd County) JDC 66001

Resident District is to keep the student enrolled at 100% with the Service Type field marked as P: Primary. The resident district needs to track how long the student is placed at the Short Term Group Care or JDC facility and must drop the student at the resident district on the 91st consecutive school day if the student is still attending the Short Term Group Care or JDC facility.

Attending District will create an enrollment record showing their district as both the Resident and the Serving/Attending district for the period in which the student is attending the Short Term Group Care or JDC facility. The Percent Enrolled field should be marked as 100% and the Service Type field should be marked as S: Partial.

***This will allow for State Aid to be paid to both the Resident and the Attending District if the student is dually enrolled in both districts on the last Friday in September.
