OFFICIAL  OPINION  NO.  15-01

RE:   SDCL  13-3-48.1 Limitations  on Science  Standards adopted  by
      the State Board of Education

Dear Senator Jensen;

The Attorney General has received a request for an official opinion from you
which is supported by 35 state legislators.

Question:

Do the State Board of Education's currently proposed Science Standards,
which incorporate a significant number of items and formatting from the Next
Generation Science Standards, violate SDCL 13-3-48.1 if adopted?'

Answer:

No. I cannot conclude as a matter of law that the State Board of Education's
adoption of the Proposed Science Standards under the facts set forth herein
would violate SDCL 13-3-48.1.


1 Your question has been revised to reflect the facts disclosed in your opinion request.
