A Statement from Gov. Dennis Daugaard on Today's Unanimous South Dakota Supreme Court Ruling That the State System of Funding School Districts is Constitutional

Statement

Date: Sept. 1, 2011
Issues: Judicial Branch Education

"I'm pleased with this opinion because the appropriate place to determine school funding is the
Legislature, not the courts. I believe we should focus on student achievement, not spending, as
the best measure of educational success. That approach is very consistent with the Supreme
Court's decision."
