PIERRE, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) On Wednesday, the South Dakota House Education Committee voted 11-4 to forward a $10 million school safety proposal to the appropriations committee with a “do not pass” recommendation. House Bill 1035 would establish a five-year grant program to fund security upgrades in schools. Supporters argue it’s crucial for student safety, while critics point to budget constraints and limited resources. The proposal will now be reviewed by the appropriations committee.
