HB1072

Starting in 2024, this bill changes who can serve on South Dakota's Board of Education Standards by requiring four of the seven members to be current or former teachers, administrators, or other school professionals (employed within the last ten years), while the other three members must be regular South Dakota residents with no specific education background. The bill also clarifies term limits, allowing members to serve up to three consecutive four-year terms, with the possibility of returning after sitting out at least two years.
