South Dakota law now defines "nonpublic school" as a privately-governed school (not run by a public school board) that teaches math and English language to school-age children. Nonpublic schools can charge tuition and limit enrollment, but they cannot receive the main state education funding that public schools get, though they may receive grants or other special state funds. Teachers at nonaccredited private schools are not required to hold state teaching certificates.
