The South Dakota Region 2 Project ENRICH Advisory Board was established to enhance the quality of the project and to advance the connection between community agencies and the program. The advisory board is comprised of various professionals, educators, and administrators who represent a diverse group of special education agencies and organizations as well as area school districts. As regional coordinators of the project, ESA 2 identified appropriate potential board members. These professionals who have significant experiences, education, and skills in their particular specialty are asked to serve through the duration of the grant. The ENRICH Advisory Board meets quarterly during the academic year. Minutes of the advisory board meeting are recorded and will be made available via this webpage.
