Senator Josh Klumb preparing for 2024 legislative session

The South Dakota Legislature opens the 2024 session Tuesday at the State Capitol.

During her budget address last month, Governor Kristi Noem proposed a 4% increase in state aid to education and urged school districts to direct that money toward teacher salaries.

Senator Josh Klumb of Mitchell says any effort to see teachers get this money is laudable…..

Klumb is Chairman of the Senate Transportation committee and member of the Agriculture and Natural Resources and Taxation committees.
