New
accreditation process underway
As charged by
the 2004 Legislature,
South Dakota
is embarking on a new accreditation process for school
districts.
State to
subsidize AP test fees
For the
2005-06 school year, the state of South Dakota will once again
subsidize Advanced Placement test fees for qualified students
through the federal Advanced Placement Incentive Program (APIP).
Time to select Teachers of the Year
Too often, we
don’t take time to celebrate our successes and honor those who
do an outstanding job.
South Dakota’s
Teacher of the Year program provides administrators with a
vehicle for recognizing outstanding educators.
Survey assesses students' health risk
behaviors
Results of the
2005 South Dakota Youth Risk Behavior Survey were presented at
the Board of Education’s March 27 meeting. Conducted every two
years, the survey assesses high school students’ participation
in behaviors considered a risk to their health.
Nominate your classroom leaders
Do you know an
educator – someone relatively new to the field – who represents
the state’s best? Whose lessons provide models for others? Who
has distinguished himself or herself above the top-quality
professionals in many of our schools? If so, we want to hear
from you!
Severe Weather Preparedness Week
coming
Severe Weather Preparedness Week is April 24-28, and material to
assist preparedness efforts is available. Reed more. |
