AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Teacher Pipeline Expansion: Gov. Larry Rhoden just awarded $500,000 to expand South Dakota’s Teacher Apprenticeship Pathway, adding 31 new spots (for 71 total) so paraprofessionals can earn degrees while staying in their jobs. Election Rules Tighten: With the June 2 primary looming, South Dakota’s voter registration deadline is May 18 at 5 p.m., and new proof-of-citizenship requirements mean many voters will need to bring physical documents (not photocopies) to county offices. Public Safety Push: The AG’s Drug Control Fund is sending money for new drug-detection K-9s—Pennington County gets up to $60,000 for two dogs, and Box Elder up to $93,000 to launch its first unit. Crime & Courts: A Mason City man pleaded guilty in federal court for meth trafficking tied to trips between Des Moines and Pierre, South Dakota. Cost Pressure: A Senate Ag panel is set to examine fertilizer prices and how they could drive grocery costs higher by summer. Local Life: Sioux Falls roadwork ramps up May 11 with multiple detours and lane closures.
