Dakota Midday: Sioux Falls Schools Superintendent

Dr. Brian Maher became superintendent of the Sioux Falls School District in July.  He says the district is in good shape, but a fresh perspective by help school leaders and the community address issues of disparity amoung students.  He joined guest host Kealey Bultena to discuss Sioux Falls' position in relation to the rest of the state based on the 2015 state assessment data.

Kealey Bultena grew up in South Dakota, where her grandparents took advantage of the state’s agriculture at nap time, tricking her into car rides to “go see cows.” Rarely did she stay awake long enough to see the livestock, but now she writes stories about the animals – and the legislature and education and much more. Kealey worked in television for four years while attending the University of South Dakota. She started interning with South Dakota Public Broadcasting in September 2010 and accepted a position with television in 2011. Now Kealey is the radio news producer stationed in Sioux Falls. As a multi-media journalist, Kealey prides herself on the diversity of the stories she tells and the impact her work has on people across the state. Kealey is always searching for new ideas. Let her know of a great story! Find her on Facebook and twitter (@KealeySDPB).
