Gertsema Case Moved To December

From P&D Staff Reports

The DUI case involving Yankton School District (YSD) superintendent Dr. Joseph Gertsema has been continued to December. The court date had been scheduled for Tuesday Nov. 13 in Vermillion.

Gertsema’s attorney, Mike Stevens, told the Press & Dakotan he had to move the date because of a scheduling conflict.

Gertsema was arrested for driving under the influence at approximately 1:20 a.m. on Oct. 7 after he failed a sobriety test at a state highway patrol checkpoint about three miles east of Vermillion.

Gertsema has served as the Yankton superintendent for 23 years.

The new court date is scheduled for 9 a.m. Dec. 11 in Vermillion.
