The South Dakota state standards are reviewed on a cycle approved by the State Board of Education as per SD codified law 13-3-48. The core content standards are reviewed every seven years. The current SD standards for World Language were adopted in July of 2011. This means, it is time to begin the process of reviewing standards in preparation for public hearings.
