Congratulations to Sarah Lutz, South Dakota Teacher of the Year

@SoDakCampaigns

From Keloland:

Fort Pierre elementary school teacher Sarah Lutz has been named South Dakota’s 2016 Teacher of the Year.

Lutz is a third-grade teacher at Stanley County Elementary and a member of the school’s leadership team. She also serves as a volunteer coach for the Girls on the Run program, and is credited with developing family nights to promote parent involvement.

And for our Republican readers, yes, you’ve heard that name before. Sara is married to Deputy State Auditor Jason Lutz.

(Jason’s a great guy, but Teacher of the Year is a pretty big deal. And I’m sure he’d agree!)

Congratulations, Sarah.

  3. Congratulations to Mrs. Lutz! Heck of a bargain at $31,625/yr. Perhaps there’s a hefty bonus for winning Teacher of the Year in her contract? Nah.

    1. No, union contracts do NOT allow for bonuses (or any other individualized compensation) to covered employees.

      Thank you teachers’ unions!

    2. Are you serious? That’s what a teacher makes?

      I commend her for her service to the state and children.

      1. No, that’s not what she makes.

        $32K is the BASE. Crossbrained never lets facts get in the way of his/her rants.

  5. Sarah is an amazing choice. She will represent South Dakota very well this coming year. I am one lucky person to have her on my staff. Thanks, Pat, for taking the time to recognize her.
