Nikki comments on U.S. House's federal Education budget proposal

Sept. 17, 2025

U. S. House Candidate Nikki Gronli responds to the proposed cuts to Public

 Education in the House's fiscal year 2026 budget, as covered by Dakota News Now. “These draconian cuts to public education put the future of South Dakota’s children on the line. $18 million in cuts to South Dakota’s public education will reduce staffing, increase classroom sizes, and provide fewer programs to our children. In rural areas, you’ll see further consolidation of schools. The Senate bill keeps funding where it is. I hope they have the courage to reject the House bill.”
