Establishes the Building Opportunity through Out-of-School Time Program and fund to support after-school programs for students.

South Dakota SB213 creates the Building Opportunity through Out-of-School Time Program and fund to provide grants for out-of-school time programming. The Department of Education will administer the fund, which will receive an initial transfer of $2,500,000 from the general fund. Eligible providers, including school districts and certain nonprofits, can apply for grants to fund programs that improve academic and career-readiness competencies, reduce negative behaviors, and engage in career exploration.
