South Dakota's governor proposes a 50% cost hike for high school dual credit courses, sparking concern over affordability.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem proposes a 50% cost increase for high school dual credit courses, raising the student's share from $50.84 to around $76 per credit hour. The move aims to save the state about $1 million annually. While the governor also plans to allocate $4 million for education savings accounts, critics argue the increase could burden families and reduce enrollment in a program that benefits students and introduces them to higher education.
