Sioux Falls meeting highlights final push to recruit 25 mentors at three schools

Speaker 3 told the board the helpline center is making a final push to recruit 25 mentors into three district schools and asked board members and community volunteers to help. "If you even have a tiny bit of an interest in mentoring a child, we could really use our title schools numbers to grow," Speaker 3 said, adding that "they deserve a mentor just like anybody else."

Speaker 3 named the three target schools as Anne Sullivan, Terry Redland and Cleveland and suggested contacting Jenna Lindquist for volunteer information. Speaker 1 affirmed the importance of partnerships between the district and community organizations in supporting students, teachers and administrators.

No funding amounts, program timelines or formal endorsements were provided in the transcript; the request was framed as a volunteer recruitment appeal during the meeting's item-for-the-good-of-the-whole portion.
