Marion Public School

Opposition to Governor Noem's $4-Million Voucher Recommendation

Public dollars should not be spent on private institutions. Please do your research on Governor Noem's proposed $4 million dollars for educational savings accounts (vouchers for private/home school students to receive public tax dollars for education). This page will be updated to hopefully help provide information to you. Please contact Mr. Brian Brosnahan, Marion's Superintendent, at the school if you have questions or would like to meet.
