This race looks about as exciting as watching paint dry;
Three candidates will vie for two seats on the Sioux Falls School Board during next month’s election.
Â
Board President Darin Daby is seeking re-election to a second term May 12.
Â
“I think I’ve learned a bunch over the last three years, and think I can offer even more over the next three years,” said Daby, a 44-year-old private banker at U.S. Bank.
Parker, 35, works as a research specialist for the Department of Health. She has an undergraduate degree in education and a graduate school degree in public administration.
Married with two sons, ages 4 and 1, Parker has a particular interest in early childhood education.
Â
“I think that’s going to be very important down the road,” she said. “I certainly think it’s something we as a community need to strive for.”
Deitschman, 39, is a senior paramedic at Rural/Metro Ambulance and a substitute teacher for the district.
Â
He is married with three children: a high school graduate and one each in middle and elementary school. He said his varied experiences with the district would benefit the school board.
If I voted today, I would pick Daby and Deitschman. Hopefully more people would throw their hat in the ring.
