Education rally set Wednesday at Capitol

While a rally against proposed cuts in state aid to education is planned for Wednesday, the school day will continue as usual in Mitchell. That’s the view of Superintendent Joe Graves. “The way to stand up for education is to stand up in your classroom and teach,” Graves said. “The best thing for the kids is to sit down and learn.”
The South Dakota Education Association, an umbrella agency for local teachers’ unions, the Associated School Boards of South Dakota and the Stand Up for Education organization are organizing the rally.
