Webster staff and community mark school’s final weeks at public comment
Summary
Public comment at the Yankton School District 63-3 board meeting included extended remarks about Webster School’s last weeks, community events and emotions ahead of consolidation.
At the Yankton School District 63-3 regular meeting, a Webster School staff member and other speakers used the public-comment period to describe final events and feelings as Webster prepares to close.
A speaker who identified themselves as a Webster staff member described multiple recent events: an alumni and former-staff evening, a combined assembly with Stewart students, a final spring carnival, a parent-child dance, concerts and a last field day. The speaker said Webster has been a community pillar for 74 years and expressed gratitude to staff, students and families for the school’s history.
A separate speaker identified as Riley summarized end-of-year activities at Yankton High School, noting nearly 200 seniors and listing recent events including prom and award ceremonies. The speaker praised staff for supporting seniors and described plans for summer interventions and credit-recovery options to support students academically next year.
These remarks came during the public comment portion of the agenda and were not followed by formal board action. The board did not take any policy votes tied directly to the comments during the meeting.
