South Dakota creates a new "Building Opportunity Through Out-of-School Time" program that provides grants to nonprofits and youth organizations running after-school, before-school, and summer programs for kids. The program, managed by the Department of Education, will fund structured activities with mentors designed to improve students' social and emotional skills, prevent risky behaviors, and explore career opportunities. The bill sets standards for which organizations can participate and appropriates state funding for the program.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
