This bill removes school district employees from South Dakota's public employee collective bargaining law, meaning teachers and other school workers would no longer have the right to negotiate contracts as a group. Currently, school district employees are included in the definition of "public employees" who can collectively bargain, but this change would exclude them from that protection.
