South Dakota Students Face Increased Costs for Dual Credit Courses

South Dakota Students Face Increased Costs for Dual Credit Courses

High school students in South Dakota may soon find themselves paying significantly more for dual credit courses if a proposed budget by Governor Kristi Noem is approved by state legislators. The budget cuts outlined in the proposal would result in a staggering 50% increase in the costs associated with these courses, placing an additional financial burden on students and their families.

Dual credit courses, which allow high school students to earn college credits while still in high school, have become an integral part of many students' education plans. They provide an opportunity to save time and money on college tuition. However, if the budget cuts go into effect, the affordability of these programs could be jeopardized, potentially discouraging students from enrolling.

Advocates for education are voicing concerns about the long-term impact of such cuts, emphasizing that increased costs could limit access for students who are already facing financial challenges. As the legislature considers the proposal, the future of dual credit programs in South Dakota hangs in the balance, and students’ educational opportunities may be at stake.
