HEALTHCARE CENTER OF LEARNING In 2018, HB 1318 allowed the South Dakota Health and Educational Facilities Authority (HEFA) to grant reserves totaling $1,913,403 to Lake Area Technical Institute to support the construction of the Healthcare Center of Learning. In addition to the HEFA grant, the project is supported through a gift from Prairie Lakes Health System and a $250,000 FY19 state appropriation. With the Board of Technical Education acting as an intermediary, LATI has expended the full amount of the HEFA grant. Phase I of the project is set to be completed in May 2020 , with a final completion date for all three phases of the project in December 2020 . Post-Secondary Vocational Education (1222), page 4 16
POST-SECONDARY DATA PARTNERSHIP The Post-Secondary Data Partnership is a program affiliated with the National Student Clearinghouse. The four technical institutes are currently participating in a pilot effort. Participation in this program will assist in centralizing our data collection efforts , leading to increased productivity across the system and a more robust set of performance indicators . At the conclusion of the pilot effort, the Clearinghouse intends to implement a cost structure. Based on the number of institutions in the system and overall enrollment size, we estimate an annual cost of $23,000 . Post-Secondary Vocational Education (1222), page 5 17

EQUIPMENT High-quality, updated equipment has a direct impact on technical education. In recent years, the technical institutes have depended upon one-time state dollars, local fees, and private donations to support the purchase of new equipment. Dollar Amount Percent System $1,485,000 33% State $3,015,000 67% Total Need $4,500,000 100% The FY21 budget request included $3,015,000 in funding to support equipment purchases.
