PIERRE, S.D. (AP) The South Dakota Board of Regents says the state s six public universities and two special schools are planning for a return to more normal operations this fall.
“Our goal is to return campus life this fall to a setting that looks much like it was before the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Brian L. Maher, executive director for the board. “With vaccines available now in higher education and K-12 settings, we can all look forward to more normal operations ahead.”
Maher said South Dakota’s success in vaccine distribution, as well as local efforts to manage and keep positive infection rates low, will guide the universities’ and schools’ planning for the 2021 fall semester, the Yankton Press & Dakotan reported.
