South Dakota DOE Posts Coronavirus Information for Schools

In accordance with the recent Executive Order aimed at controlling the spread of COVID-19 in South Dakota, South Dakota Department of Education personnel are currently working remotely. If you have questions regarding educator certification please email [email protected].

The South Dakota Department of Education is working with the South Dakota Department of Health to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the state and to protect citizens and children. A school’s approach to managing COVID-19 should be common sense. It will involve many of the preventive steps schools already take to mitigate contagious illnesses.
