South Dakota creates a new type of charter school called "Oceti Sakowin charter schools" that teach Native American history and culture using the Oceti Sakowin Essential Understandings and Standards. These schools can be approved by either the state Department of Education or a local school district, and applicants must submit detailed plans covering the school's mission, structure, finances, and how they'll measure success. This establishes the legal framework for establishing and funding these community-based schools focused on Native American education.
