AGP Executive Report

Last update: 16 minutes ago

Meta Child-Safety Trial: A federal trial in California is putting Meta on the stand over claims its Instagram and Facebook are designed to hook kids, with South Dakota among 29 states backing the lawsuit. Local Tragedy: Aberdeen Mayor Travis Schaunaman and his two children were involved in a paragliding crash near Aberdeen; the 8-year-old died, while the mayor and the 10-year-old were seriously but non-life-threateningly injured. Community Health: South Dakota communities are gearing up for the Step Big Walk for Parkinson’s on Aug. 22, with events in Rapid City, Sioux Falls, Watertown, Brookings, and Yankton. Family Fun Outdoors: Prairie Fest returns Saturday at Good Earth State Park near Sioux Falls with a free grasslands “stay-cation” featuring music, local food, hands-on learning, and activities for kids. Accessibility in Parks: Rapid City is holding a dedication for newly upgraded, more inclusive playgrounds at Robbinsdale Park, including ADA-accessible play features and a zip line. Reentry Reality Check: A new report says South Dakota prison releases face major hurdles—housing, jobs, and behavioral health support—making successful reintegration harder than it should be. Education & Workforce: South Dakota Mines is set to receive $25M in federal funding to expand mining education and workforce development for critical minerals. Health Access for Kids: A Delta Dental mobile program visit brought dental care to underserved areas, treating 50 young patients in the region.
