This bill creates a new type of school in South Dakota called an "Oceti Sakowin community-based school" that teaches Native American history and culture alongside regular academics. Nonprofit organizations can apply to local school districts to sponsor these schools, and their applications must include details about their mission, leadership structure, budget, and how they'll measure success. The bill establishes the legal framework and requirements for these culturally-focused schools to operate within South Dakota's education system.
