What it requires
- If you are the South Dakota Department of Education or the South Dakota Board of Education Standards, collect information through the uniform educational data system of SDCL sec. 13-3-51 only where it is necessary for the calculation of funding for public education, the determination of student academic progress, state and federal reporting requirements, or other duties the law prescribes to a school district, the department, or the board (SDCL sec. 13-3-51).

What record it asks for
Logging duty
Section 13-3-51 limits what its uniform data system may collect to information necessary for funding, academic progress, reporting and other duties prescribed by law. It names no log, register or retained record of what is collected, so no logging duty is coded.

What this law does
Section 13-3-51 requires the secretary of the Department of Education to establish a uniform system for gathering and reporting educational data, and requires a school district or school seeking state accreditation to submit enrollment and personnel data by October fifteenth of each year. Section 2 of chapter 76 of the 2014 Session Laws, an act to protect the privacy of the records of individual students, amended section 13-3-51 to read with the collection limit that closes it.
Nothing in section 13-3-51 authorizes the collection of information not necessary for the calculation of funding for public education, the determination of student academic progress, state and federal reporting requirements, or other duties the law prescribes to a school district, the department, or the South Dakota Board of Education Standards. The South Dakota Board of Education Standards may promulgate rules to further define the data the section requires.
Chapter 76 was signed on and does not state when it takes effect. Under SDCL sec. 2-14-16, an act of a regular session that does not prescribe when it takes effect takes effect on the first day of July after its passage, so chapter 76 took effect on .
