This bill creates a new process for establishing Oceti Sakowin community-based schools—schools that teach South Dakota Native American history, culture, and standards alongside regular academics. Nonprofits can apply to local school district boards for sponsorship to operate these schools, and the application must include details about the school's mission, structure, staff qualifications, facilities, and how it will measure student success.
