The Yankton School District has been dismissing classes at noon on Fridays since early October.

The move was made to give teachers more time to prepare for in school and online classes.

Superintendent Wayne Kindle says he is getting some good comments from teachers…

Kindle says they want to see most kids in school…

The school board imposed a mask mandate at the start of the school year and so far infection numbers have been pretty low.
