The Scotland School District recently went through an accreditation review from the South Dakota Department of Education. The DOE looks at many things through this process, but probably one of the more important aspects of the review is how our teachers are teaching the state's content standards. Superintendent Sundberg said, "I am so proud of how our teachers showed the reviewers what we do here in Scotland. The reviewers commented that our teachers did a great job with their lesson plan design and their curriculum maps. I really appreciate the hard work that our teachers put in to make the accreditation process be as smooth as it was. Sometimes the process is difficult, and our teachers made it work really well."
The state has accredited our school for another five years, at which time the school will undergo another review from the Department of Education.
Chip Sundberg, Superintendent
