South Dakota is changing how it counts students to determine how much state funding schools receive—specifically, the bill clarifies that students in state agency care (like those under Department of Social Services custody) can be counted in a school district's enrollment, and it adjusts the fall enrollment calculation by excluding students the district pays tuition for while including those who pay tuition to the district. These changes affect how the state calculates general and special education aid under the funding formula.
