PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A scholarship plan aimed at recruiting new teachers for math, science and other critical subjects was approved Tuesday by a legislative panel after supporters said South Dakota’s universities are not producing enough graduates to replace retiring teachers.

The Education Committee voted unanimously to approve the idea and send the bill to the Senate Appropriations Committee, which will review the measure because it would spend money.
