South Dakota's public school districts, non public school systems, tribal/BIE schools, and state special schools were surveyed about their libraries during the 2024-25 school year. The information in these reports reflects the activities reported by library staff from 283 school libraries who responded to the South Dakota School Library Survey (approx. 75% response rate).
