@RCJournal We need to listen to what the professional educators are telling us. Thank you to Sarah Gross for giving us a concrete example of how these standards are inappropriate.

Each day our son goes to first grade at a little elementary school just north of the hospital in Rapid City. He is 6, nearly 7, and average size (just rapidcityjournal.com/opinion/gross-…

This woman wants to be in charge of South Dakota elections.

@pdogassassin @RCJournal That isn't true. Here's the map.

@RCJournal When those previous results csme in, the issue was obvious. In the precincts whose schools benefited, thr bond passed. In those precincts whose schools saw no major benefit it failed. Propose a new bond that secures all of the schools and retrofits the old ones. Will easily pass.

Last week, a friend referred to her classroom as a brick oven. I had never heard the analogy but thought it was pretty accurate. Years ago, when I taught at rapidcityjournal.com/opinion/gross-…

I am absolutely disgusted by what I’m hearing come out of Boys State in Aberdeen this year. Yesterday, they elected their president who claimed transgender individuals have a mental disorder. He received a standing ovation for his transphobic proclamation.

Congratulations @mhschweich! Getting an initiated measure on the ballot is a big deal. Thank you also for the yard sign reminding folks that your carefully drafted IM 27 may be threatened by a poorly drafted Amendment C. Vote No on C! on June 7 or sooner if you vote early.

@Kentbush It was an incredible comeback.

It turns out it was all a set up. I leave to cover soccer and OU shows up and finishes one of the best Red River Rivalry games ever.

I can't remember a more embarrassing start in an OU-Texas game. All three phases of the game share the shame. Can't tackle, run, pass or punt. That's consistency.

@abbylwargo @RCJournal You will be missed.

@jimbuctwit @SDDOH Good to know. Thanks

@jimbuctwit @SDDOH The numbers are always low on Monday and Tuesday. Are labs and the DOH staff not working 7 days a week during this crisis? The virus doesn't take the weekend off... and hospital staff works seven days a week alongside the other essential workers.

@SethTupper @LeeSDPB @hereandnow Very interesting. As is the story that played afterwards about the Boston schools closing to all students after their positivity rate reached over 5%.

@JackieHendrySD @coralhei Wonderful reporting. Thank you for keeping us informed.

Avera is granting me an interview with one of their top docs early next week to walk through the conversation around capacity--and why it's not the best focus. I'm told not to expect specific numbers, but I'm looking forward to it and excited to share.

@Ronmadison303 @jimbuctwit @SDDOH Monument Health hospitalizations are increasing

@jimbuctwit @SDDOH 334 new infections is certainly significant. Hospitalizations increased by? Ohhh, they went down? That certainly seems significant also. I mean we are keeping score right? I suppose you can make the numbers fit your personal agenda? I choose to keep track of hospitalization #’s
