Funding for Brown County student therapy facility
The law provides $2 million from South Dakota’s general fund to the Department of Education for a nonprofit grant. The grant pays to acquire, renovate, and equip a facility in Brown County. It supports school-based therapy for students taught in an alternative setting, without live-in care. The nonprofit must show experience running combined education and therapy programs with school districts and other community systems. Grant money cannot pay for residential treatment, inpatient services, or 24-hour student care. The Education Secretary approves payment requests, and the State Auditor issues payments. Money not legally spent or committed returns under state procedures. The law took effect immediately upon passage and approval.
