This decision will be re-evaluated with our local health team during the week of January 11-15, 2021.<\/p>\n Each Valley City Public School participating student will receive two wristbands that they will be able to share with parents and family members. The wristbands will allow entrance into the event, but will not cover the cost of admission. No visiting team spectators will be allowed to attend.<\/p>\n Due to capacity limitations within our facilities, no fans will be allowed to attend any activity events held in either the North or South Auxiliary Gymnasiums.\u201d<\/p>\n The Governor\u2019s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund, created by the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), allows the governor to provide support to education entities and institutions of higher education. North Dakota received approximately $5.93 million in GEER funding from the U.S. Department of Education; $3.4 million was made available to K-12 facilities across the state. Of that amount, $2.48 million was made available to K-12 through a competitive grant process. Throughout the pandemic, more than $98 million of relief funding has been provided to support K-12 education across North Dakota.<\/p>\n Burgum says,\u201cThese grants will help ensure our students and families continue to have the educational supports they need to navigate the pandemic disruptions,\u201d Burgum said. \u201cThese funds provide a financial lift for schools to transform learning, and we look forward to seeing how these proposals grow into future student-driven opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n Several awards were provided to schools that serve a high population of Native American students. Over 20 percent of North Dakota\u2019s Native American K-12 population is enrolled in districts receiving GEER funds.<\/p>\n More than 35 proposals were reviewed through the competitive grant process. Grants awarded will provide resources to support behavioral health needs of students and families, technology assistance for individuals receiving distance learning, additional staff to support student learning and tutoring services provided outside of the typical school day. A list of the grant awards is available\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more information on North Dakota\u2019s COVID-19 response, visit www.health.nd.gov\/coronavirus<\/a> or www.ndresponse.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n State Hospital Superintendent Rosalie Etherington will give a report. Other agenda items include the medical director\u2019s report and updates on quality management, finances, employee wellness committee activities and COVID-19 efforts. The agenda also includes a report from the North Dakota Department of Human Services and a review of the quality management report. Other business may be discussed.<\/p>\n The agenda for the public meeting includes time for comments from the public and North Dakota State Hospital employees at the end of the meeting.<\/p>\n The complete agenda is online at www.nd.gov\/dhs\/info\/publicnotice\/index.html<\/a> and includes the Microsoft Teams link and conference call-in information.<\/p>\n Individuals with disabilities who need accommodations, including auxiliary aids, to participate in the meeting can contact Karla Bachmeier at 701-253-3964, 711 (TTY) or kxbachmeier@nd.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
