    Voters in the Langford Area School District approved a $575,000 annual opt-out for seven years in Tuesday’s election. The measure passed with 248 voting ‘yes,’ and 114 voting ‘no.’ See below for the breakdown by precinct.
    According to district officials, the opt-out will help cover increasing costs, including salaries, benefits, utilities, transportation, and technology expenses. It will also reduce the district’s reliance on Capital Outlay transfers, which have been used to fill budget gaps in recent years.
    The opt-out will take effect for the 2025 tax year, payable in 2026. The tax impact per $100,000 of property valuation will be: Agricultural land – $77.04; Owner-occupied property – $172.41; Other properties – $356.80.

The election results are considered 'unofficial' until canvassed.

Poll: END OR RETAIN EXPANDED MEDICAID COVERAGE? South Dakota voters will decide in November on a proposed constitutional amendment that would end the state’s expanded Medicaid coverage if the federal government’s share of funding for the expansion falls below 90%. The expansion, approved by voters in 2022, provides Medicaid eligibility to certain adults ages 19 to 64 with incomes up to the federal limit established by the constitutional amendment. The proposed amendment would remove that expanded coverage if the federal funding level drops below 90%. If the election were held today, how would you vote?

I would Vote “Yes” to adopt the amendment (ending expanded Medicaid)

I would Vote “No” to leave the Constitution as it is
