Senate Bill 83

Currently, National Board Certified (NBC) teachers in South Dakota receive $2,000 per year for the first five years after receiving certification. This cost is split equally by the local district and the state. The new legislation commits the state to continuing payment of NBC stipends for five additional years, as long as the local district also continues to pay a stipend. The state will pay an amount equal to the amount offered by the local school district up to $1,000.
