create the building opportunity through out-of-school time program and the building opportunity through out-of-school time program fund, authorize a new fee, make an appropriation therefor, and transfer moneys to the building opportunity through out-of-school time program fund.
This bill creates the "Building Opportunity Through Out-of-School Time Program" and establishes a dedicated state fund to support after-school and summer programs for students. The program fund, administered by the South Dakota Department of Education, provides grants to eligible providers (like school districts or qualified nonprofits) to cover staffing, materials, and transportation costs for evidence-based out-of-school time programming. Priority is given to programs serving under-served students, fostering community partnerships, and supplementing existing funding. The fund is supported by a new fee and state appropriations, with grants distributed annually based on applications submitted between August 1 and September 30.
