13-3-86. Clearinghouse for youth internships, pre-apprenticeships, mentoring opportunities, and other experiences outside classroom. The Department of Education shall develop plans for a clearinghouse for youth internships, pre-apprenticeships, mentoring opportunities, and other educational experiences outside of the classroom that are available to middle and high school students within the state's research, science, and technology infrastructure. The purpose of the clearinghouse is to facilitate coordination among the middle schools, high schools, postsecondary technical institutes, universities, and the businesses and industries that offer these educational experiences, and to make students aware of the many unique opportunities available to them in South Dakota in the areas of research, science, and technology. To further capitalize on the talent and resources of the state's science and technology community, opportunities for professional development for teachers may also be coordinated through the clearinghouse.
