Just mentioning the possibility of a program that contained the merest hint of state involvement brought the shakes and shivers.

Hard as it is to believe now, things actually did occur in 2020 that were mostly beyond the scope of the COVID-19 pandemic.
That was a fact we realized as we compiled our year-end list of top stories. COVID-19 was so overwhelming in its impact and received its own section for review, which ran in Saturdayâs Press & Dakotan.
Today, we present the top five ânon-COVIDâ local stories of 2020 â some of which may have been lost in our memories once the coronavirus took over.
The P&D news staff selected the Yankton School District opt-out as the top story of 2020. Voters approved it in February after similar efforts were rejected in 2011 and 2012.
