School Board Members Pose with Bronze ASBSD Award

Sioux Falls School District School Board Achieves Honor for Board Work

Members of the Sioux Falls School District School Board achieved a Bronze Level honor for their board work during the 2022-23 school year.

The Sioux Falls School District School Board earned a Bronze Level award for their participation in the Associated School Boards of South Dakota’s board recognition program: ALL, which stands for Act, Learn, Lead and honors the work of school boards who strived to enhance their knowledge base for effectively serving students.

By participating in ASBSD activities, training opportunities and demonstrating leadership at the local, state and national level, school boards accumulated points throughout the previous school year. To earn the Bronze Level award, the Sioux Falls School District School Board accumulated 250 or more ALL points.

“The Sioux Falls School District School Board put in a tremendous effort during the 2022-23 school year to achieve the Bronze level ALL award and we’re thrilled to honor them for their dedication,” ASBSD Executive Director Dr. Douglas R. Wermedal said. 

“The board’s efforts will undoubtedly benefit the district’s students, staff and community.”

The Sioux Falls School District School Board received their ALL plaque in September.

In the seventh year of the program, 90 public school boards – the second most in the history of the program – earned an ALL award.

“Congratulations to the school boards who earned this distinction and thank you for your commitment to enhancing public education locally and statewide,” Wermedal said. 

ASBSD is a private, non-profit association representing more than 850 South Dakota school board members, the 148 schools they govern and the students they serve.
