PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Gov. Dennis Daugaard has announced the remaining members of a taskforce that will address problems in South Dakota's education system.

The governor has appointed 13 teachers, administrators and school board members to serve on the Blue Ribbon Task Force on Teachers and Students along with the 13 public officials and state staff members he named in March.

Daugaard and Republican legislative leaders in February announced the creation of the taskforce following calls from Democratic legislators and education officials to boost teacher pay.

Beginning in July, the task force will meet to consider public input, analyze data and discuss how to reform aspects of the state's education system.
