House Bill 1236

A statewide virtual school becomes reality under this bill. HB 1236 provides for the establishment of a Virtual High School Advisory Council, which will advise the department, Board of Education and other education-related organizations on issues related to distance learning. It also gives the Department of Education authority to promulgate rules related to the virtual high school. The department’s goal with this legislation is to ensure consistency, quality and accessibility in virtual school offerings across South Dakota.
