SASD Mission Statement:
Governor Rhoden held a press conference in Sioux Falls today where he stated that South Dakota will enter into the agreement of the Federal Tax Credit Scholarship Program which will start in January of 2027. The Governor said it would also be available for public schools
We were proud to partner with The Cook Center, COMPASS and SDSSA over the past three days providing a learning academy for 25 SD school superintendents. Looking forward to next year already.
Congratulations to Becky Haenfler on being selected as the 2026 Teacher of the Year. Becky is from the Avon School District.
Josh Cowen, an expert in studying and speaking about vouchers is kicking off our ASBSD / SASD Joint Convention in Sioux Falls. There are over 500 administrators and school board members present for two days of learning. The start of school is right around the corner!
SB 190, a voucher bill guised as a tax credit was defeated on the Senate Floor on a vote of 24 to 11. Stay proud of your public school!
SB 190, a bill to divert tax dollars to private schools and home school students is being heard on the Senate floor. We oppose this bill on the basis it will cause a shortfall of tax dollars to support your public schools
SB 190, a tax credit for private or home school expenses has passed the Senate Education Committee this morning on a vote of 4 to 3. We are opposed to this bill as it will impact local funding of your school districts
SB 190 is a tax credit for homeowners to receive a credit for private school or homeowner expenses for school options. We are opposed to this bill on the basis of not knowing what the fiscal impact would be to our school districts and no accountability
SB 51 did not pass the House Floor by a vote of 37 to 31. We were opposed to this bill
