Friday (Oct. 7, 2022) is the preferred deadline for South Dakota high school students to submit applications to the Legislative Research Council to serve as pages for the 2023 Legislative Session. The final deadline is Oct. 21.
Pages are appointed to serve in the House of Representatives or the Senate for one of five terms during January, February or March. They are assigned to committee meetings in the mornings, Chamber floor sessions in the afternoons and assist legislators as needed.
To apply, the student must be a high school junior or senior, have signed sponsorship approval by a current legislator or legislator-elect, have written permission from their school and submit a completed application and cover letter on or before the posted deadline. The 98th South Dakota Legislative Session runs from January 10, 2023, to March 27, 2023, with a recess from March 10-26.
