Big bill? Or quickly killed?
Senate Bill 69 - An Act to revise the funding of K-12 education in the state.
The consolidation bill. Is this going to be the big measure of session?

Is the State going to redistribute the money to k-12, or take it into the general fund ?
Move ONE teacher instead of 30 students -- there is no reason why that teacher has to be employed by ONE school district. Coop--use video and on line instruction.
In fact much smaller schools with combined grades and more technology will actually produce students that are better educated and better prepared for adult responsibilities---(Take a close look at the homeschooled population!!)but this is probably too much change for the average South Dakotan---doing it the same way that we have done it for years--closing one school at a time and using more and more gas and wasting our young people's live in travel time at a younger and younger age will seem easier and more acceptable to the average small town high school and state school grad. Besides--if we have smaller school populations whatever would we do for SPORTS TEAMS!
People are already leaving rual areas and now those areas will become more unattractive.
12:33 am - makes a great point.
This bill seems designed to finish off potential in less populated areas.
