Harrisburg School District 41 2 Sep 28, 2026 School Board Meeting Continued

At the September 28, 2026, Harrisburg School District (South Dakota) continued school board meeting, staff described implementation of the district’s elementary math curriculum, selected in April 2026 after an evaluation process that began in spring 2025. Staff training took place before the school year, and the curriculum is now in use, alongside Bridges Intervention for students needing additional support and Number World as an alternative special-education math curriculum. The presentation emphasized consistent implementation across seven elementary buildings, teacher collaboration, hands-on instruction, and assessment; no costs, contract awards, or purchasing votes were reported.

Staff also outlined a gradual rollout of ParentSquare for activity, sports, fine arts, and student organization communications, describing its district-backed messaging and safety features. The district is working to reduce the number of communication platforms, though existing tools will remain for now and the transition will be gradual. No procurement action or spending decision was identified. The board adjourned on a 5–0 vote.
