SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) – Students in the Sioux Falls Public Middle and High Schools will have a little more elbow room this fall thanks to the opening of two new schools and redrawn boundary lines.
The Sioux Falls School Board heard about the fall enrollment numbers at their meeting on Monday night.
Dr. James Nold said the biggest shift will happen at the district’s most overcrowded schools. Roosevelt High School will have 700 fewer students in it’s halls and Memorial Middle School will have 200 fewer students. Overcrowding in the district prompted the building of a new middle school and high school set to open this fall.
Curriculum purchases, a change to the last day of the school year and the school district’s 150th anniversary were all pressing topics at Monday night’s school board meeting.
