SIOUX FALLS SCHOOL DISTRICT House Bill 1099 Introduced by: The Committee on Education at the request of the Office of the Governor Dr. Teresa Boysen 367-7916 An Act to revise certain provisions regarding dual education credit. Impact: This bill removes the language that the state or school may pay all or part of the tuition. Students must have the course work approved by the school district prior to enrolling with the post-secondary institution. Section 2: speaks to the regulations put on post-secondary institutions regarding cost associated with dual credit. Position: The District supports this bill. Dual credit opportunities allow students the opportunity to earn college credit at a reduced cost and increase the likelihood that they will continue their education post high school in a 2- or 4-year institution. House Bill 1100 Introduced by: Representatives Wismer, Ahlers, Bartling, Brunner, Hawley, Jensen (Kevin), Lesmeister, McCleerey, Ring, Schoenfish, Smith, Steinhauer, Wiese, and Willadsen and Senators Sutton, Frerichs, Kennedy, Nelson, and Peters Todd Vik 367-7909 An Act to require a name be printed on public contracts. Impact: This bill requires the name of the signer be printed on public contracts. Position: The District takes no position on this bill. House Bill 1114 Introduced by: Representatives Steinhauer, Clark, Conzet, Glanzer, Heinemann, Holmes, Jamison, Johns, Kettwig, Marty, Otten (Herman), Reed, Rhoden, Stevens, Willadsen, Wismer, York, and Zikmund and Senators Peters, Frerichs, Jensen (Phil), and Stalzer Kate Bartell Nowak 367-4670 An Act to establish certain requirements for students enrolling in resident school districts or assigned schools after participating in open enrollment. Impact: This bill establishes requirements for students wishing to return to the student’s resident district or assigned school after the conclusion of a school year. The parent/guardian would be required to notify the affected school board(s) of their intent to return to the HAC on forms provided by the Department of Education no later than August 1st. The bill allows for reenrollment after the deadline when the affected board(s) determine special circumstances exist. Position: The District supports this bill as written but will monitor it closely. The District supports establishing a procedure for ending an open enrollment. A later date would also be supported to align with other open enrollment procedures.

SIOUX FALLS SCHOOL DISTRICT House Bill 1120 Introduced by: Representatives Peterson (Sue), Ahlers, Barthel, Beal, Bordeaux, Brunner, Campbell, Carson, Chase, Clark, Dennert, DiSanto, Frye-Mueller, Goodwin, Haugaard, Heinemann, Howard, Jamison, Jensen (Kevin), Johnson, Kaiser, Karr, Lesmeister, Livermont, Lust, Marty, May, McCleerey, Mills, Peterson (Kent), Pischke, Qualm, Rhoden, Rounds, Schaefer, Steinhauer, Turbiville, Wiese, York, and Zikmund and Senators Langer, Cronin, Greenfield (Brock), Jensen (Phil), Killer, Klumb, Kolbeck, Monroe, Nelson, Netherton, Novstrup, Russell, Stalzer, Wiik, and Youngberg Mark Meile 367-7960 An Act to provide equal access for all students to activities sponsored by the South Dakota High School Activities Association or school districts. Impact: Allows alternative (home) school students the ability to participate in any activity sponsored by the SDHSAA and/or any activity sponsored by the district or any school in the district. The bill does restrict public school students who would be academically ineligible from transferring to home school to remain eligible by making all students who switch to home school ineligible for activities/sports for one year Position: The District opposes this bill. The bill allows home school students to pick and choose what services they receive and what rules they have to follow by effectively exempting them from all academic and other non-team related rules (i.e. passing X number of classes, school attendance on game day, etc.). The “academic eligibility” requirement for home school students contained in the bill is tepid, at best. The bill may also put home school students above their public school peers by automatically giving them an open-enrollment right on to any team or activity in any school they want in the district, potentially moving from school to school depending on the season/activity. Actually, the bill may also have given a sports-related open enrollment right to public school students with its imprecise wording: Any student enrolling in a South Dakota district pursuant to §13-15-21 or receiving alternative instruction pursuant to §13-27-3 is eligible to participate in any interscholastic activity sponsored by the South Dakota High School Activities Association and any activity sponsored by the district or any school in the district. (emphasis added) House Bill 1128 Introduced by: Representatives Ahlers, Bartling, Brunner, Hawley, Peterson (Sue), Smith, and Wismer and Senators Haverly, Nesiba, Peters, Sutton, and Tidemann Todd Vik 367-7909 An Act to revise certain provisions regarding increases in teacher compensation. Impact: This bill, as amended, requires school districts below the target teacher salary to increase their teacher compensation by 65 percent of the increase in the State Aid Formula each year or state aid would be reduced by $500 per teacher employed by the District. As amended, this bill would not currently affect the Sioux Falls School District as it is far above the target teacher salary. Sioux Falls School District 49-5 Page 3 Printed 02/23/18 11:08:21 AM Positions are updated as POSITIONS ON 2018 PENDING LEGISLATION bills are able to be BY THE reviewed by the District. SIOUX FALLS SCHOOL DISTRICT Position: The District opposes this bill. This bill, as amended, still represents an overreach by the Legislature to micromanage school districts that are below the target teacher salary. Micromanaging of teacher compensation started when the Legislature finally replaced the 8.6 percent permanent cut to state aid in 2011 with the 9.1 percent increase and told school districts exactly how to spend 85 percent of that increase (i.e. increase teacher compensation). That bill came not only with new requirements on how to spend state aid but also with new reporting requirements, etc. Those requirements were temporary, which although they were bad public policy, made them tolerable. This bill seeks to take what was bad temporary public policy and double down on it by making permanent the practice of effectively categorizing 65 percent of state aid. Despite the misperception of many legislators, over any significant period of time school districts increase teacher compensation by more than the increase in the State Aid Formula. When the 9.1 percent state aid increase was being debated in 2016, the following statistic was presented to (and ignored by) many legislators: Teacher salaries have outpaced the per student increase by 0.4 percentage points per year (2.3% vs 1.9% from FY98 to FY14. This cost school districts an additional $22 million in FY14 for teachers’ salaries that were not included in the State Aid Formula (the increasing cost of benefits over that time clearly made that figure much larger). Incidentally, we now know the results of what happened the first year after the 2016 Legislature substantially increased State Aid. For the 2016-17 school year, the average increase in State Aid was 9.1 percent while the average increase in teacher salaries was 11.7 percent. While time has proven there is no good reason for this bill as districts increase teacher compensation by more than state aid is increased, common sense dictates that a requirement to do so is bad policy.

The goal of this scorecard is simple: make government transparent to the people they represent. History has proven that free people are capable of extraordinary things—but many current laws hold South Dakotans back from truly thriving. That’s why our growing community of activists across the state are fighting every day to make the Mount Rushmore State a better place to live, work, and raise a family. We support legislation that enhances liberty and opportunity and oppose legislation that restricts those two concepts. As such, the bills listed in this scorecard reflect that. What you won’t see are grades or scores for individual legislators. What you will see is a description of issues and legislation with how our legislators voted during the two years that they served in this term. We hope this information helps you stay informed about how your Senators and Representatives have voted on important issues. If nothing else, it will serve as a basis for your conversations with them. We trust that policymakers are working to remove barriers that make it more difficult for South Dakotans to achieve their full potential and believe this tool will help shape their thinking toward that.

  • Legislative News – Week #7 Raise Concerns About the Measure
    2020 South Dakota Legislature | February 28, 2020 Legislative News – Week #7 raise concerns about the measure. By way of background, the SDBA opposed legislation introduced in SB133 – Allow Government reserves to be invested in 2017 to allow counties to shop their deposits statewide. certificates of deposit or time deposits in banks We lost that battle by overwhelming margins in both outside of South Dakota. As previously discussed, houses. SJR502 proposed to amend South Dakota’s Constitution to allow units of local government (counties, cities, I did raise industry concerns during the committee school districts, etc.) to send up to 20% of their cash hearing on SB133. I suggested it is sound public policy reserves to the State Treasurer for deposit into a Pooled to keep local government reserves in local banks as a Local Government Investment Fund. Those funds would source of funding for loans to local residents and main be transferred to the South Dakota Investment Council street businesses. I also asserted that local governments for investment in a diverse portfolio of stocks, bonds, (counties, cities and K-12 schools) receive the lion’s mutual funds and the like. This proposal, sponsored by share (73%) of the franchise tax paid by community and Sen. Jeff Partridge (R-Rapid City,) was tabled in favor of commercial banks in South Dakota. In FY2019, that a hoghouse amendment to SB133. amounted to $36 million contributed to local treasuries. As approved by a vote of 7-1 in the Senate Members of the SDBA Board of Directors convened via Appropriations Committee on Tuesday and the full conference call earlier this afternoon to review the Senate by a vote of 34-1 on Thursday, SB133 expands current status of SB133.
