Concerns Raised Over Education Budget Increase in South Dakota

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The South Dakota Public Schools Coalition has expressed significant concerns regarding the recently proposed 1.25% budget increase for education. They argue that this increase may conflict with South Dakota Codified Law, which outlines specific funding requirements for public education.

Advocates within the coalition believe that the budget adjustment falls short of what is necessary to adequately support schools across the state. They contend that such a modest increase does not align with the growing needs of students and educators, particularly in the wake of challenges posed by the pandemic and ongoing economic pressures.

The coalition is urging lawmakers to reconsider the proposed increase and to prioritize a more substantial funding plan that meets the educational standards and needs of South Dakota's diverse student population. As discussions continue, the implications of this budget decision could have lasting effects on the state's educational landscape, prompting a call for a more thorough examination of funding policies.
