Moore to become state’s Indian education coordinator

Keith O. Moore of Onida has accepted the position of Indian education coordinator with the South Dakota Department of Education. Currently a principal with the Agar-Blunt-Onida School District, Moore will begin his new duties July 1. He is a member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe.

“We are excited to have Keith officially on board,” said Dr. Rick Melmer, secretary of the Department of Education. “He is dedicated to the young people of this state and will be a real advocate for our Native American students.”

Moore has a solid background in education, including 10 years teaching, eight years coaching and nearly three years as a school administrator. He will play an integral role in working with the Indian Education Advisory Council to shape the future of Indian education initiatives in South Dakota.
