This bill creates a new Jobs for South Dakota's Graduates program within the Department of Education designed to help high school students with significant barriers to graduation stay in school through a public-private partnership. The bill also establishes a special donation fund to accept grants and contributions that support the program's launch and ongoing operations. No existing law is changed; this bill simply creates this new program and funding mechanism from scratch.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
