PIERRE, SD (KELO.com) — If you can’t pay your rent, you have to make realistic choices about your job. That’s the unhappy situation for many South Dakota teachers. All of the state’s school districts increased teacher pay between 2017 and 2023, some by as much as 40%. But, according to a South Dakota NewsWatch report, inflation has reversed many of their gains. The state ranks 49th nationally in teacher pay – and lower than all neighboring states in average teacher salary.
