student’s parent or guardian or by the emancipated student.
2.
The application will be approved or denied by the Brookings School Board and
the applicant and the resident board must be notified of the decision within five
(5) days of the board’s decision. Applications will be reviewed in the order
received.
3.
Transfers into the Brookings School District under the provisions of §§ 13-28-40
to 13-28-47, inclusive, may only take place prior to the last Friday in September
during the first semester of any school year, and prior to the last Friday in January
during the second semester of any school year. If the Brookings School District
approves an application for such a transfer after the deadline in the first semester,
the transfer will occur at the start of the second semester. If the Brookings School
District approves an application for such a transfer after the deadline in the second
semester, the transfer will occur at the start of the following school year.
However, the deadlines for transfer do not apply if:
a. A student is seeking to transfer to an alternative school or a
specialized nonpublic educational program;
b. A student enrolls in the Brooking School District after the deadline in
either semester; or
c. If the Brookings School District School Board determines that special
circumstances exist and it is in the best interest of the student and
school district to allow a student to transfer after the deadline.
4.
The applicant may withdraw the application prior to the approval of the request
and upon notification of the district to which the student applied.
5.
Once approved by the Brookings School District, the applicant's intent to enroll
obligates the student to attend school in the Brookings School District for the next
school year, unless the two boards agree in writing to allow a student to return to
the original district or assigned school, or if the parent, guardian, or student
changes residence to another district.
6.
Once enrolled in the Brookings School District, the enrollment will continue
unless a bona fide change of residence occurs or a subsequent transfer application
is received.
7.
The Brookings School District will accept credits granted for any course
successfully completed in another accredited district. The Brookings School
District may award a diploma to a non-resident only if the student satisfactorily
meets the Brookings School District graduation requirements.
8.
Transportation of non-resident students to school is the responsibility of the
applicant.
II. CRITERIA FOR MAKING OPEN ENROLLMENT DETERMINATIONS
Discrimination based upon race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age,
national origin or disability is prohibited.
1. The board reserves the right to annually establish capacities of programs, classes,
grade levels, and buildings within the district, which will be based upon
administrative recommendations. The administrative recommendation shall take into
account current and projected enrollments in light of physical, fiscal, and human
resources projected within the district. Insofar as possible, any numerical factor will
be building or attendance center specific.
2. Class size, program capacity, and building capacity restrictions are necessary in order
to allow room in schools for students who may move into the assigned school
attendance area or in the case of special education programs, students who may be
identified as needing special education services or who may move in as students in
need of special education. The approval of an open enrollment request may not result
in exceeding the established student to teacher ratio or program capacity. The
capacity listed for grade level student to teacher ratio indicates district averages for
open enrollment purposes only. Actual class sizes may be above these ratios because
of students living in the assigned school attendance area.
a)
b)
c)
d)
Kindergarten through Grade Three 22
Grade Four and Grade Five
24
Grade Six through Grade Eight
26
Grade Nine through Grade Twelve-High School open enrollment students
may select from courses available at the time of registration.
e) Special Education program capacity is based on the type of program.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Kindergarten through Grade 12 – resource room case manager
limits are set at 15 students
Kindergarten through Grade 12 – self contained case manager
limits are set at 5 students
Kindergarten through Grade 12 – speech therapy total service
provider limits are set at 35 students
Kindergarten through Grade 12 – occupational therapy total
service provider limits are 35, physical therapy total service
provider limits are set at 10
A student in need of special education or special education and
related services will be declined for open enrollment if the IEP
requires services which exceed these identified limits in #1-4
above or requires additional staffing or programs not in place at the
time of application.
3. Nonresident student open enrollment applications to attend school within the District
will be reviewed and acted upon in the order in which they are received. However, if
the application is a sibling of a student accepted into and currently enrolled in the
District, that student’s application shall take priority over all other applications.
4. If two or more nonresident students from the same family, residing in the same
household, request open enrollment into the District, all requests from that family
must be either approved or denied and the District shall not deny an application if
doing so would result in children from the same household enrolling in different
school district. However, if the District cannot provide an appropriate education for a
child in need of special education or special education and related services, the
District may deny that child’s application for open enrollment.
5. The board may deny applications for any of the following reasons:
(a) The applicant is under a suspension or expulsion;
(b) The applicant has been convicted of possession, use, or distribution of any
controlled substance, including marijuana and is under suspension pursuant to
SDCL 13-32-43;
(c) The applicant has been convicted of a weapons charge relating to the schools
and is under suspension pursuant to SDCL 13-32-43.
(d) If misrepresentation of information by the applicant for transfer is determined
to exist, before, or after the acceptance process or while the student is in
attendance. If the student has previously been accepted, misrepresentation of
information will result in revocation of the acceptance.
III. ACCEPTING NON-RESIDENT STUDENTS IN NEED OF SPECIAL EDUCATION
A request to transfer a student in need of special education or special education and
related services may be granted only if, after a review of all relevant student education
records and direct communication with the student’s parent or guardian and
representatives of the resident district, the Brookings School District special education
administration determines that the District can provide an appropriate instructional
program and facilities, including transportation, to meet the student’s needs. If the
request to transfer is granted, the Brookings School District is responsible for the
provision of a free appropriate public education for the student in need of special
education or special education and related services. If the student requires transportation
as a related service, the Brookings School District shall provide or ensure the provision of
transportation within the boundaries of the District.
A request to transfer a student in need of special education or special education and
related services may be denied if the request would exceed program capacities set by the
board, pursuant to SDCL 13-28-42.1 and 13-28-44 or if the Brookings School District
cannot provide an appropriate instructional program and facilities, including
transportation, to meet the student’s needs.
If the Brookings School District confirms, based upon the records review and communications
with the student's parent or guardian and representatives of the Brookings School District, that it
can provide an appropriate instructional program and facilities, including transportation, if
necessary, to meet the needs of the student, it may proceed with the open enrollment process (see
§ 13-28-421).
If the Brookings School District is not able to make confirmation of an appropriate instructional
program and facilities to meet the needs of the student, the Brookings School District shall
initiate an individual education program team meeting consisting of representatives from both
the resident and nonresident districts to determine whether the Brookings School District can
provide an appropriate instructional program, facilities, and transportation, if necessary. After the
determination is made, the Brookings School District will proceed accordingly with regards to
accepting or declining the student for open enrollment.
If the Brookings School District cannot meet the provisions of SDCL 13-28-42.1 for the child in
need of special education or special education and related services, the Brookings School District
may deny that child's application for open enrollment. If two or more children from a family
residing in the same household, one of which needs special education and/or related services and
both of which are eligible for kindergarten through 12th grade, may open enroll only if pursuant
to SDCL 13-28-42.1, the Brookings School District can provide an appropriate instructional
program and facilities, including transportation, for the child in need of special education or
special education and related services.

Consent Agenda
Item: V. A. 7. Approval of 2nd/Final Reading of Amended Policy EBBA “First Aid and Emergency
Medical Care”
No changes have been made to this policy since the First reading in September. I recommend
you approve.
Policy: EBBA
BROOKINGS SCHOOL DISTRICT 5-1
FIRST AID AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE
No treatment of injuries except first aid and life sustaining emergency care will be permitted in
the schools. First aid is that immediate help given by the best qualified person at hand in case of
accidents or sudden illness.
It is the policy of the Brookings School Board not to comply with directives from
parent(s)/guardian or others that life-sustaining emergency care should not be provided to any
particular student in need of such care while under the control and supervision of the school.
"Life-sustaining emergency care" means any procedure or intervention applied by appropriately
trained school staff that may prevent a student from dying who, without such procedure or
intervention, faces a risk of imminent death. Examples of life-sustaining emergency care include
(but are not limited to): efforts to stop bleeding, unblocking airways, mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and/or individually designed medical
resuscitation plans.
Any person who in good faith provides emergency care or assistance without compensation at
the place of the emergency or accident will not be liable for any civil damages for acts or
omissions in good faith.
Treatment of injuries occurring outside school jurisdiction is not the responsibility of school
employees.
Each student in the district will be required to have a completed, and signed by parent(s) or
guardian, emergency procedure form at the beginning of each school year.
In all cases where the nature of the illness or injury appears serious, the parents/guardian will be
contacted if possible., and the instructions on the student's emergency consent form followed.
Thus, in extreme emergencies, arrangements usually may be made for a student's immediate
hospitalization might be necessary whether or not the parents/ guardian can be reached.
No young child who is ill or injured will be sent home alone, nor will an older child unless the
illness is minor and the parent(s)/ guardian has been informed in advance. For the purpose of
this policy, a young child will be a student who is twelve (12) years of age or younger.
Administration of invasive and related medication are to be performed by a registered nurse or
LPN only.
Illness-Emergency Transportation
The child should be taken or sent to the local school nurse, or if the nurse is absent, to the
local administrator.
The person or persons listed on the Emergency Procedure Form should be contacted to
pick up and take the student home.
If this person cannot be located, the building administrator will attempt to locate some
relative who might assume responsibility for the child and this person will pick up and
take the child home.
If no one can be located and there is no one at the child's home, the school will keep the
child at school unless the illness is severe, and then the child will be taken to the clinic or
hospital. A reasonable effort will continue to be made to contact the parent(s)/guardian.
It will be the policy of the Board that:
Supervision and care will be provided for pupils who have a medical problem that requires, or
might require, regular or emergency treatment. The level of supervision and possible treatment
is to be determined at a meeting attended by the parents/guardian, the teacher of the pupil, the
principal of the school concerned, and the medical health officer (or nominee). A signed
statement by the pupil's physician stating the physician's recommendations is to be made
available at this meeting.
A member of the school staff will be required, when necessary, to undertake such training as will
ensure adequate supervision and treatment.
