SFSD announces termination after Trump-related social post

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – A Sioux Falls School District employee is no longer employed by the district after a weekend social media post regarding Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. 

In a statement to KELOLAND News, the SFSD said officials became aware of a social media post by a “district staff member” and “the District’s Code of Conduct Policy (GBEB) clearly outlines the high standards to which we hold all staff members.” 

“The staff member's statement does not align with the School District's values and was not condoned in any way. The individual is no longer employed by the Sioux Falls School District,” the statement by the school district said. “We remain committed to fostering a safe, respectful learning environment for all students and staff and upholding the values of our community.” 

KELOLAND News has attempted to contact the former Sioux Falls School District employee for comment. 

This is a developing story.
