The following recommendations were agreed upon by the DERT Team and subsequently presented and supported by the school board on Wednesday (01-20-2021):<\/p>\n 1) Mask mandate will continue at VCPS as currently implemented for schools, activities, transportation, etc. In addition to these recommendations, the DERT Team also addressed a few other specific items related to COVID-19.<\/p>\n 1) Vaccination- City-County Health has not determined a date when school employees will be vaccinated in Phase 1B.<\/p>\n 2) Rapid-Testing- Valley City Public Schools has made the decision to not participate in the Binax \u2018Rapid\u2019 surveillance testing program for school employees.<\/p>\n 3) COVID-19 Grants- Valley City Public Schools will be receiving additional funds from the state of North Dakota for COVID-19. These funds, referred to as ESSER II, have not been distributed and we are waiting to receive more information, including specific dollar amounts, from the Department of Public Instruction.<\/p>\n 4) Positive Case and Close Contacts- Our COVID-19 statistics as a school district remain very promising right now with low positive cases and close contacts with our students and employees.<\/p>\n The DERT Team will review the district COVID-19 plan on Tuesday, February 23rd at their next scheduled meeting. As necessary, they will meet prior to this date to review anything related to COVID-19.

(AP) \u2014 Critics of legislation that addresses gender in school sports say the proposal discriminates against transgender students in North Dakota. The bill would prohibit public schools from allowing a person to participate on a girls or boys team if the person \u201cwas assigned the opposite sex at birth.\u201d Its sponsor, Republican Rep. Ben Koppelman, says the bill would ensure fair competition for girls in middle and high school sports. But, opponents say it excludes transgender students from athletics.

(AP) \u2014 Gov. Doug Burgum says the state Department of Human Services will take over refugee resettlement after the private agency that has managed resettlement, Lutheran Social Services, shuts down. Burgum said it\u2019s essential for the state to step in to administer the federally funded program or it risks losing control. Burgum said the program will be run \u201cto ensure that refugee resettlement in North Dakota continues in a thoughtful, orderly and responsible manner at no additional cost to North Dakota taxpayers.\u201d Lutheran Social Services announced Jan. 15 it would shut down due to financial troubles mainly attributed to its affordable housing program.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A panel of North Dakota lawmakers will this year begin the job of redrawing the map of legislative districts. It’s a process that when finished likely will show a continued loss of political clout in rural areas due to population shifts in the past decade. A bill sponsored by Republican legislative leaders would establish a committee of lawmakers who would craft an outline for legislative redistricting. It\u2019s aimed at ensuring that each member of the Legislature represents about the same number of people. The committee would be controlled by Republicans, who hold two-thirds majorities in the state House and Senate.<\/p>\n Lottery officials report that a $1-million Powerball ticket was sold at Walhalla Cooperative Oil, on Highway 32, won by matching five white balls.
