JAMESTOWN, ND – Jamestown Public Schools (JPS) is examining the role its facilities play in educating students for 21st century careers – many of which do not even exist yet. Many systems in JPS buildings are nearing the end of their life, and it is necessary to consider the best options for repair or replacement. Community input in this examination has been critical and will be further sought in the coming weeks, including through listening forums, focus groups, and general comments.

Since May 2016, JPS has undertaken the following:

  • Retained independent consultants to review the expected life of our facilities and recommend a 10-year capital maintenance plan, a summary of which was presented to the School Board in July;
  • Gathered perspectives from staff through an electronic survey related to current instructional needs and the ability of our facilities to meet those needs;
  • Launched a Citizen’s Facilities Steering Committee including school board members, the school leadership team, staff representatives, community leaders and our consultants DLR Group, PFM Financial Advisors, and Consolidated Construction Company;
  • Provided school tours at Lincoln / Transition House, Gussner, Roosevelt, Louis L’Amour, the High School, Jamestown North, James Valley Career and Tech Center, the Middle School, and Washington; and
  • Received preliminary updated enrollment projections from RSP & Associates, indicating continued growth in enrollment. (RSP will present their detailed findings at our School Board meeting on March 20, 2017).

Throughout March, JPS is holding facility needs discussion with staff, including a review of the survey taken last May.

JPS invites the local community to join the discussion about our public school system, share your vision for our future and what our students need to succeed in the 21st Century, and how facilities play a role in this evolution. All are welcome to attend the Citizen’s Steering Committee meetings, participate in the focus groups, or simply contact JPS at your convenience. Updates on progress will be provided regularly to local media, posted on the JPS website, provided through the Jamestown School District App, school newsletters, and on social media.

Valley City  (CSi)  The public is invited to a Town Hall meeting in Valley City, on Wednesday March 15, 2017, at 6-p.m., at City Hall, in the Commission chamber.

On hand will be local, state and federal officials talking about the flood outlook and steps residents and businesses can take to reduce their flood risk this spring.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) —  Sioux tribes suing to stop the Dakota Access pipeline want a federal judge to head off the imminent flow of oil.

Judge James Boasberg last week rejected the request of the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Sioux to stop construction of the final segment of the pipeline that would move oil from North Dakota to Illinois. Developer Energy Transfer Partners says the pipeline could begin operating this week.

Cheyenne River attorney Nicole Ducheneaux has appealed Boasberg’s ruling and asked Boasberg to prevent oil from flowing until the appeal is resolved.

Boasberg has given ETP and co-defendant Army Corps of Engineers until Tuesday to file responses. The Corps is a defendant because it manages the Missouri River. ETP is finishing construction under a river reservoir in North Dakota from which the tribes draw water.
The Army Corps of Engineers has finished cleaning up three Dakota Access pipeline protest camps that were on federal land in North Dakota.

The Corps hired a contractor after the main camp and two others were cleared out and shut down late last month in advance of the spring flooding season. They’d operated since last spring and at times held thousands of pipeline opponents.

Corps Capt. Ryan Hignight says a total of 835 industrial-size trash bins were filled and removed in the operation that wrapped up late last week. That doesn’t include materials such as lumber and propane tanks that were set aside for reuse or recycling.

The total cost of the operation hasn’t been tallied yet, but the Corps has estimated that it could cost taxpayers more than $1.1 million.

Final Women’s AP Basketball Poll…

NEW YORK (AP) — UConn has finished the season at No. 1 in The Associated Press women’s basketball poll for the 14th time in school history.

The Huskies (32-0) were the unanimous choice from the 33-member national media panel on Monday, sitting atop the poll for the last 15 weeks of the season. They’ve won 107 consecutive games and most likely will be the overall No. 1 seed when the women’s NCAA Tournament field is revealed Monday night.

It’s the fourth straight year that the Huskies are the top team in the final poll.

Notre Dame, South Carolina, Maryland and Baylor follow UConn. The Lady Bears dropped three spots to fifth after losing in the Big 12 title game to West Virginia last week.

The Mountaineers entered the poll at No. 22 while Creighton fell out.

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says it expects the Justice Department to comply with a request to provide lawmakers with evidence on President Donald Trump’s accusation that his predecessor wiretapped his New York skyscraper. The House intelligence committee set a deadline today for the Justice Department to provide materials. White House spokesman Sean Spicer says he expects the department to meet the request. Trump tweeted his unproven accusation about President Barack Obama earlier this month. The president and his advisers have provided no evidence to support that claim and instead have asked congressional committees to investigate the matter.

SEATTLE (AP) — Washington and four other states trying to block President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban targeting predominantly Muslim nations are seeking a hearing Tuesday before a federal judge in Seattle. In a new complaint filed today in U.S. District Court, Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson says the new travel ban is unconstitutional and harms state residents, universities and businesses, especially tech companies like Microsoft and Amazon who rely on foreign workers. California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York and Oregon joined Washington in the legal action.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. airlines have already canceled about 5,300 flights Monday and Tuesday as a late-winter storm is expected to dump enough snow to disrupt travel in the Northeast. Tracking service FlightAware.com says more than 1,400 flights Monday and more than 3,900 Tuesday had been canceled. Chicago is bearing the largest share of Monday’s cancellations, while Tuesday’s disruptions are hitting hardest from Washington to Boston including the New York City area.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The mother of a woman who authorities say was kidnapped by her estranged husband says her daughter has been found alive near Tampa. Donna Waryga tells the Tampa Bay Times that Alisa Summers “is safe and not harmed.” Local news outlets report the Tampa mother of five was found in Ruskin, near Tampa this morning. Investigators say witnesses saw a woman whose hands were tied behind her back being forced into her SUV outside a Tampa pharmacy on Saturday night. The witnesses say the woman was screaming.

BOSTON (AP) — The chief marshal of Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day parade says he’s back on board now that parade organizers have voted to allow a group of gay veterans to participate. Dan Magoon says in addition to resuming the ceremonial role, he will march Sunday with OutVets. Magoon said last week he wouldn’t participate this year after the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council voted to exclude OutVets over the use of the rainbow symbol, a sign of gay unity. After outcry, the council reversed course Friday.
