South Dakota will now reimburse school districts $1,500 for each employee who completes school sentinel training, with the reimbursement money available to help cover training and equipment costs. The bill caps the state's total spending on this reimbursement program at $45,000 per year and requires proportional reductions if more than 30 employees complete the training annually. The bill also removes the requirement that sentinels obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
