PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The state’s Blue Ribbon Task Force on Teachers and Students is meeting to discuss problems in South Dakota’s education system.

The task force is set to meet on Tuesday in Pierre, beginning with a welcome from Gov. Dennis Daugaard.

Daugaard and Republican legislative leaders in February announced the creation of the task force following calls from Democratic legislators and education officials to boost teacher pay.

The task force is meeting to consider public input, analyze data and discuss how to reform aspects of the state’s education system.

The group is expected to report recommendations to the 2016 Legislature.
