SD House Education committee backs Noem education realignment © Provided by Sioux Falls(Mitchell) KSFY KSFY PIERRE, S.D. - The South Dakota State House’s Education Committee backed a controversial move by Governor Kristi Noem Wednesday. The move, from 2019, put the Office of Indian Education (OIE) under the jurisdiction of the State-Tribal Relations Department, after having been under the Department of Education for the previous two governors. The committee voted 12 to 3 to move the bill to the “41st day,” effectively killing it. The State-Tribal Relations committee recommended the bill, HB 1044, unanimously in October of 2020, saying that the executive order was done with little to no consultation with South Dakota’s tribes. HB 1044 would have returned the Office of Indian Education to the Department of Education.
