As part of their unit on the branches of government, the 8th grade Social Studies class received an overview of the South Dakota Legislative Branch from Ashley (Tanner) Fliehs and Katie (Wagner) Washnok. The class received an in-depth look at the state legislative process along with bill and policy drafting. After drafting mock legislation, the class held a committee hearing where they heard their classmates’ legislation and debated the policy back and forth, passing one and deferring the other to the 41st legislative day.
