A report on the educational needs of South Dakota is presented. These needs were determined through a survey which pulled together the findings of several studies conducted to determine the present status of education in the State and through submitting the findings of these studies to the State's citizens to determine how important they were. A rating scale was designed to determine how important each respondent identified each educational need to be and the extent to which it was felt the schools were meeting each need. The State was divided into four regions. Results are presented. (CK)
