South Dakota has no statewide teacher salary schedule. Pay is bargained district by district, and this grid comes from the salary appendix of this district's negotiated agreement as published by the South Dakota Education Association.
The SDEA library covers its own locals, roughly 45% of South Dakota's districts, so a district missing from this site may simply not file here.
