Impact: This bill freezes the FY19 per student allocation at the FY18 level and resets the property tax levies per the Cutler/Gabriel Amendment. Position: The District opposes this bill. The state general fund budget is increasing. The State should find ways to increase the State Aid per student allocation as well. Additionally, the property tax portion of the inflationary increase should at least be funded, even if the State cannot find the funds for its portion.

Senate Bill 46 Introduced by: The Committee on Education at the request of the Department of Education Kate Bartell-Nowak 367-4670 An Act to require school districts to adopt a policy limiting the use of restraint and seclusion. Impact: This bill would require all school districts to adopt a policy on the use of restraint and seclusion. The policy must require: immediate notification of parent/guardian; a prohibition of prone restraint; a prohibition of involuntary confinement; and training on crisis prevention and proper use of restraint/seclusion Position: The District would amend this bill. The Sioux Falls School District (SFSD) has a comprehensive policy and training program on crisis prevention and use of restraint/seclusion. The SFSD policy would need to be revised to include the specific prohibitions; however it is not anticipated that our training and practices would require any significant changes. Propose two amendments to clarify application and a reasonable timeframe for notification. A. The school board of each school district shall adopt or revise a school district policy on the use of restraint and seclusion by school district employees. B. (1) A procedure for immediately notifying the parent or guardian of the student, unless the student is emancipated, of an incident requiring the use of restraint or seclusion by the end of the day; Sioux Falls School District 49-5 Page 3 Printed 01/22/18 6:12:25 PM Positions are updated as POSITIONS ON 2018 PENDING LEGISLATION bills are able to be BY THE reviewed by the District. SIOUX FALLS SCHOOL DISTRICT Senate Bill 66 Introduced by: Senators Bolin, Solano, and Stalzer and Representatives Brunner and Peterson (Sue) Todd Vik 367-7909 An Act to require each school board to post certain information regarding school elections on the school district website. This bill was amended in and passed the Senate Education Committee to change the phrase “on the school district website” to in the “school district minutes.” Impact: This bill would require school districts to post: (1) The number of eligible voters residing in the school district at the time of the election; (2) The number of eligible voters residing in the school district who voted in the election; (3) The percentage of eligible voters residing in the school district who voted in the election; and (4) If the election was held in conjunction with a regular municipal election as provided in § 13-7-10.1 or with the regular June primary as provided in § 13-7-10.3 (5) If no election to be held Position: The District takes no position on this bill. Senate Bill 83 Introduced by: Senators Rusch, Cammack, Nelson, Stalzer, and Youngberg and Representatives Smith, Duvall, Johnson, Lesmeister, Mickelson, Rasmussen, Reed, Rounds, and Turbiville Kate Bartell Nowak 367-4670 An Act to authorize certain patriotic societies access to public schools. Impact: This bill allows patriotic societies (defined as a youth membership group or organization listed in title 36 of the United States Code) to speak to students at each public school one day at the beginning of each school year. The patriotic society would provide notice to the principal on the intent to speak, and the principal shall then allow the patriotic society to speak to students during school hours to inform them about the civic involvement of the society, and to explain how students may participate or join. Position: The District opposes this bill. Determination of outside organization access to students is best determined by each individual school board.

SIOUX FALLS SCHOOL DISTRICT Senate Bill 84 Introduced by: Senators Rusch, Cronin, Frerichs, Heinert, Kennedy, Monroe, Nelson, Nesiba, Novstrup, Stalzer, and Youngberg and Representatives Johnson, Bartling, Frye- Mueller, Heinemann, Jensen (Kevin), Kaiser, Lesmeister, McCleerey, Rasmussen, Ring, Smith, Steinhauer, and Willadsen Kate Bartell Nowak 367-4670 An Act to revise certain provisions regarding public records. Impact: This bill would require public entities to make public a summary of any settlement of a legal claim involving monetary damages, equitable relief, or a violation of any statute or rule. The summary would include: identity of the parties; terms of the settlement agreement; any payment made by the public entity; and/or any action to be taken by the public entity. Does not prohibit a judge from sealing any part of the record of a legal proceeding other than the summary or settlement agreement. Position: The District opposes this bill. Confidentiality is a key component to reach a settlement agreement among the parties to a legal dispute. Without this component, settlement options will become less appealing to each of the parties involved in a dispute and therefore increases the likelihood each party expends more resources with litigation.

  • South Dakota 2015 Gas Tax Increase (SB 1)
    South Dakota Senate Bill 1 (2015) Title of Bill: Senate Bill 1 Purpose: Revise certain taxes and fees to: fund improvements to public roads and bridges in South Dakota, to increase the maximum speed limit on interstate highways, and to declare an emergency. i Status of Amendment: Passed South Dakota Senate Bill 1 (2015) Signed into law: March 30, 2015 Senate House FOR 25 55 AGAINST 8 11 History State Gas Tax The state gas tax on gasoline and diesel for highway use has not been increase since 1999, when Bill Janklow (R) was governor. Subsequent governors Mike Rounds and Dennis Daugaard were both vocally opposed to highway-tax increases, until Dauggard changed his position in the beginning of 2015. ii Gas Tax Distribution & Transportation Funding Sources Most of the funds generated by SB 1 will go towards state work, but some will go into a local bridge fund managed by the state Transportation Commission. The gas tax increase will produce an estimated $40.5 million and the excise tax an additional $27 million to $30 million. Additionally the license plate increases are expected to generate $18 million for counties, their share depending on the number of vehicles registered there. ii Need South Dakota, like many states, is struggling to maintain funding for their transportation system. Roads-Currently, South Dakota’s state roads are considered to be in good conditions, with only 2 percent rated “poor” and 9 percent rated “fair.” By 2024 though, the state Department of Transportation predicts that 25 percent of roads will be “poor” and 27 percent “fair.” For local governments the current situation is more urgent.
