Families for Alternative Instruction Rights in South Dakota
In South Dakota, the legal term for people who educate their children in their home without government oversight or funding is Alternative Instruction (AI). There are very specific laws that apply to Alternative Instruction. Some families may choose to use an online South Dakota public school program in their homes. This is not considered Alternative Instruction and the Alternative Instruction laws would not apply to them. However, generally homeschoolers welcome everyone to their events regardless of the legal definition of their education choice.
