PARENTAL RIGHTS: HOMESCHOOLING, SCHOOL CHOICE, CONTENT IN SCHOOLS
Parents were under the impression that South Dakota was a state that wanted to uphold and protect parental rights, especially when it comes to school choice, homeschooling, and parental involvement in the public school education their children receive. This year is showing that it seems that the public school system is going to fight hard to stay relevant after the state saw a 94% jump in families who chose to homeschool in 2023. Through the help of Moms For Liberty, Jennifer Beving and others, we will do our utmost to compile and share all information available concerning legislation and news to help parents get involved and stay up to date on the latest developments.

What We're Up Against
From FAIRSD.ORG:
Dr. Kelly Glodt, superintendent of Pierre Public Schools, in a recent presentation to legislators, declared himself as having more responsibility than parents for determining the best education for their children. He is one of three superintendents who make up the Legislative Committee of the School Administrators of South Dakota (SASD). Homeschool parents will be facing hostile legislation in Pierre coming from bureaucrats who think they own the kids.
