YANKTON, S.D. (WNAX) – With the later start to the 2020 South Dakota legislative session, school officials will have more time to talk to lawmakers about the flat increase in state aid proposed for next year.

Kindle says there has been a budget surplus at the end of the last few budget years.

Kindle says the baseline state aid increase is just keeping up.
