South Dakota schools must now set aside $5 million (instead of $4 million) starting July 1, 2026, to cover extraordinary costs for special education programs, with the amount increasing annually by an inflation index factor after 2027. The bill also allows schools to carry over unused funds from year to year, up to a maximum reserve of $5.5 million, rather than losing those funds.
