YANKTON, S.D. (WNAX) — With the start of classes about a month away, school districts across the state are filling in their last teaching openings.
Wade Pogany, executive director of the Associated School Boards of South Dakota, says there are lots of needs.
“It’s wide open. Special education teachers, math teachers, elementary teachers — you name it, they’re on our list,” Pogany said.
Pogany said the state had 220 job openings as of last week; about 200 of which are teaching positions. He said there are openings “across the state, big schools and small schools.”
Pogany says schools will figure out a way to fill most of the open slots. Many of the openings are created by veteran teachers retiring.
