In challenging times such as these, a community’s elected officials face incredible challenges. Often, they are required to make choices and decisions they never dreamed they might face when agreeing to offer themselves up for public service.

In Ipswich, school board members must develop policies and make tough decisions on complex educational and social issues impacting the entire community. South Dakota School Board Recognition Week provides a perfect opportunity to honor the contributions being made daily by our school board members.

The Ipswich Public School District will join districts across the state to thank school board members for their leadership and service to our local school district and community during South Dakota School Board Recognition Week from February 21-25.

Serving on a local school board has always been more than what the public sees; meetings once or twice a month, approving school calendar, approving technology initiatives, or improving school district facilities. Far beyond that, our board members are helping to play an important role in preparing the district’s students for an ever-changing world. They help spread information about the individual and collective successes of our students and our professional staff.


This community is fortunate to have a team of dedicated men and women on the Ipswich Public School District school board who are fiscally responsible and yet community progress-minded. For these and many other reasons, they deserve our support and appreciation during School Board Recognition Week.

We invite students, staff, and community members to take part in thanking its school board members.

The men and women serving the Ipswich Public School District are:

• Justin Davis, Chairman

• Todd Hettich, Vice Chairman

• Carol Pond

• Tadd Thorson

• Dustin Geditz
