ASBSD invites school board members and administrators from member districts to our 2016 Legislative Day on Tuesday, February 16.

 

ASBSD Legislative Day is a day of advocacy and action in support of public education and celebration of the service of our school board members as part of South Dakota School Board Recognition Week.

School board members and administrators are invited to Pierre to learn about the latest status of bills impacting K-12 schools and to visit the Capitol to meet with legislators and make the collective K-12 education voice heard.

 

In addition, school board members will be honored for their service to public education as part of South Dakota School Board Recognition Week.
