| Abstract: | South Dakota's P–12 system serves 149 districts, prioritizing teacher salaries and school choice. Within the state's $2.4 billion General Fund, education accounts for approximately 44% of total expenditure. For the 2025 fiscal year, P–12 state aid reached $725.5 million, a $9.3 million increase in expansion aid, while total higher education allocations reached $1.05 billion across all funding sources. Despite significant long-term growth, higher education's share of the state budget declined for the first time since 2010. These trends reflect conservative tax utilization and alternative school programming. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
