SCHOOL BOARD MEETING
Wednesday, November 19, 2025
The School Board of the Sioux Falls School District 49-5 of Minnehaha County, South Dakota, was called into special session, pursuant to due notice, on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at
5:30 p.m. in the Instructional Planning Center, 201 East 38th Street, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, with the following members present: Elizabeth Duffy, Dawn Marie Johnson, Gail Swenson, Vice President Marc Murren, and President Nan Kelly. Absent: none. Dr. James Nold, Superintendent of Schools, Todd Vik, Business Manager, and Daniel Conrad, Assistant Superintendent, were also present.
The purpose of this work session was to provide updates and have general discussion on the following topic:
Daniel Conrad, Assistant Superintendent, went over the Renberg Elementary School Facilities Planning Process. He proposed the following advantages to closing Renberg: reduced time on buses, larger specials (band and orchestra), blended classes, STEM room at Marcella LeBeau, budget savings ($2.6M next year in capital outlay savings), and less travel for Specials Teachers. He discussed the disadvantages as: students who currently open enroll to Renberg, students who are adjacent to Renberg, and the small school setting. As of the 2025-2026 school year, 80 students who currently attend Renberg Elementary live closer to Marcella LeBeau or Laura B. Anderson Elementary schools.
Superintendent Nold addressed the questions and concerns raised during the prior two parent feedback sessions. Projected City growth and possible school boundary changes were also presented. In summary the administrative recommendation was to have the Board vote on the proposed closure of Renberg Elementary School in the first semester of the 2026-2027 school year for the 2027-2028 school year. (Prior to November 30, 2026)
Public Input on the Agenda Items: Tanwá Moit, Joshua Lamar, Lynda Nix, Jeffrey Trainer, and Matt Leiss. All were not in favor of closing Renberg.
Action 39855
On motion by Gail Swanson and seconded by Marc Murren five (5) votes “yes” on roll call, the School Board adjourned at 6:36 p.m.
