Governor Dennis Daugaard proposed a two point three percent increase in state aid to education in the 2020 budget plan.
Yankton School Superintendent Wayne Kindle says that sounds good to them…

Kindle says they are still working back from several years of small increases…

Schools have to increase their teacher pay each year to stay within state accountability rules. Kindle says they will be able to do that again next year….

Kindle says they are still working to pay off a structural deficit in their ongoing budget.
