With school starting at many South Dakota school districts later this month, the scramble is on for districts to fill their last teacher vacancies.
Dan Swartos, Superintendent at the McCook Central District in Salem says they still have one special opening to fill…..

Swartos says they were able to fill all of their teaching positions fairly quickly…..
