South Dakota’s public education system needs supportive voices. Many voices.

 

Our advocacy efforts must be united, informed and ready as the 2023 legislative session is likely to bring legislation with potentially long-reaching harmful effects to public schools, especially to funding.

 

“Vouchers, tax cuts, uncertain state aid increases, and that’s just the funding side,” ASBSD Executive Director Wade Pogany said. “It’s critical for our public schools that we have plenty of advocacy support.”
