"I am very grateful for the opportunity to serve as secretary and to work with the dedicated team at the Department of Education," said Kirkegaard.

I am also excited by the opportunity to work in the West Bend School District." Gov. Dennis Daugaard praised Kirkegaard’s service as secretary. “Don accepted this job knowing it would be for a short time, but his service has been crucial,” said the Governor. “Under Don’s leadership, the Department has moved past the Common Core standards, pushed forward pilot programs to promote CTE and apprenticeships, and advanced new graduation requirements that will enhance work-based learning opportunities.
