Three Key Issues Face South Dakota Legislature
Action awaited on three major items as the session winds down. A recodification of school laws, a Montana style unified higher education system, and continuation of four year courses at Spearfish Springfield and Madison normal schools are under consideration. A Greater University plan seeks a central chancellor while preserving each institution. Details on costs from neighboring states are pending. The four year college plan stems from a Supreme Court ruling limiting two year curricula. If not approved, the normal schools face reverting to a two year program by July 1.
