PIERRE, S.D. (WNAX) – School districts across South Dakota are scrambling to get ready for students to return to the classrooms next month. Students were sent home in mid-March as the coronavirus pandemic surged.

Wade Pogany, Executive Director of the Associated School Boards has been holding virtual meetings with school officials for several weeks.

Pogany says they are getting a variety of questions.

Pogany says policies and programs will be different across the state.

Most districts are planning to resume in school classes in late August.
