South Dakota creates a new education savings account program that gives money to families whose children attend private schools or receive alternative education (like homeschooling or virtual school) to cover tuition, fees, computers, tutoring, and related educational expenses. The state Department of Education will establish individual accounts for participating students and deposit funds into them annually from the state education budget.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
