HB1262EnactedAppropriations
make an appropriation for a non-residential, school-based, therapeutic services facility in Brown County and to declare an emergency.
South Dakota is appropriating $2 million to the Department of Education to fund a nonprofit organization that will build and operate a facility providing therapy and educational services to students in alternative school settings in Brown County. The nonprofit must have experience offering integrated education and mental health services through partnerships with schools, and cannot use the funds for residential care or inpatient treatment. The bill declares an emergency so the funding can take effect immediately.
