Starting July 1, 2026, South Dakota will increase the amount of state special education funding set aside for extraordinary expenses from $4 million to $5 million per year. After 2027, both the $5 million base amount and the $5.5 million maximum reserve limit will increase annually based on an inflation index factor, and unused funds from previous years can now be carried over instead of being returned to the state.
