Supe's On: Legislators, BVSD staff talk about key issues

With Governor Noem’s budget address, which included a 4 percent increase to public education, in the rearview mirror, the 2024 South Dakota Legislative Session is set to begin on Jan. 9. 

The BVSD Legislative Breakfast was held on Thursday, Dec. 7. Our legislative breakfast provided the Brandon Valley School Board, Administration, and Brandon Valley Education Association an opportunity to share district happenings, provide input on key legislative issues, and hear from our Legislators regarding their priorities for the session. All our District 2 Legislators were in attendance. While we may not agree on all education issues, we greatly appreciate each of our Legislators’ civic service, time, and commitment to serving the community and great state of South Dakota.

With 2024 on the horizon, for some families it is time to start thinking about sending a child to Kindergarten or Junior Kindergarten for the 2024-25 school year. Our elementary school buildings will host Kindergarten Screening in the coming months for the next school year. If you have a child that will be age eligible and entering Kindergarten next year, we strongly encourage your participation in Kindergarten Screening. If you have questions on Kindergarten Screening, feel free to reach out to any of our elementary buildings.

From my family to yours – We wish you a safe and happy holiday season!

Go Lynx!
