SIOUX FALLS, S.D.  (KELO AM) - Almost a third of South Dakota kids are overweight or obese, almost unchanged in four years.

Ashley Miller with the South Dakota Department of Health there is a goal to reach by 20-20.  Miller says the goal is to shrink that number to 14%.

Miller says 181 South Dakota schools submitted student height and weight data, accounting for almost 40 percent of students.
