The BOES meeting has just begun in Aberdeen. The SS standards are one of the last things on the agenda. SASD is here in opposition and we have a very strong showing of administrators in the room.
We are so grateful that we are able to have Ruby Payne kicking off our joint conference this year in Sioux Falls. There are many great sessions to follow!
