HB1250

South Dakota educational empowerment accounts allow parents to request state funding for their school-age children on the condition that the students don't enroll in traditional public school districts or use homeschool notifications during that school year. The money in these accounts can only be used for approved educational purposes, and any remaining funds revert to the state treasury when the student graduates from high school. This creates a new way for families to access education funding outside the traditional public school system.
