\"\"Valley City (VCPS) Valley City Public School Superintendent Josh Johnson updates the community on the COVID-19 breakdown on cases, absentees, and the face mask survey.<\/p>\n

The News Release States:<\/p>\n

\u201cOur school district continues to closely follow the presence of COVID-19 in our schools. After 23 days of school, I believe things have gone well, and our students\/staff\/parents are making responsible \u201cindividual\u201d decisions to prevent the spread of any type of virus in our school district and community.<\/p>\n

Here is a general breakdown of the past 4 weeks related to COVID-19:<\/p>\n

Active Positive Cases (Avg. in Past Four Weeks)- Averaging 2 active positive cases per day (0.16% of students\/staff)
\nLocation- Majority of cases have been with 7-12 students
\nContact Tracing- No confirmed cases of spread within VCPS (yes, close friends and family have spread cases)
\nStudent Absences (due to illness) Past Three Weeks- Avg. of 35 k-12 students absent daily due to illness<\/p>\n

At the beginning of September, we had surveyed our staff and parents regarding masks and contact tracing. This information was reported at the public board meeting and referenced below for your information.<\/p>\n

Parents (436 responses)<\/p>\n

68.58% No to District Masks; 31.42% Yes to District Masks
\n62.93% No to Elementary Masks; 37.07% Yes to Elementary Masks
\n57.21% No to Contact Tracing; 42.79% Yes to Contact Tracing<\/p>\n

Staff (104 responses)<\/p>\n

75.96% No to District Masks; 24.04% Yes to District Masks
\n64.08% No to Elementary Masks; 35.92% Yes to Elementary Masks
\n65.38% No to Contact Tracing; 34.62% Yes to Contact Tracing<\/p>\n

Our school administration has been notifying parents via email when a positive case has been identified in a classroom (elementary), grade level (secondary), or activity team (secondary). We have been asked by a few parents and healthcare officials in our community to modify our notification letter and include additional information \u201cencouraging\u201d close contacts to wear a mask, providing the date of last exposure, and information about testing. We are reviewing these recommendations; however, please know decisions regarding masks and testing will remain with the individual students\/staff\/parents in our school district. So far, this approach appears to be working after 23 days of school. If this changes, we will be prepared to change as well.<\/p>\n

Many predictions have been made by healthcare organizations that the peak of the COVID-19 wave in North Dakota will be at the beginning to mid-October. Thank you for helping us to maintain a healthy and safe school environment for our students and providing everyone with the ability to make individual\/personal decisions with COVID-19. We will continue to closely follow COVID-19 in our school district and remain ready to change our plans if necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Tuesday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, member Ken McDougal said, the James Valley Pheasants Forever is a nonprofit conservation organization that was founded in 2010 and is part of the national Pheasants Forever organization founded in 1982. Pheasants Forever is dedicated to the protection and enhancement of pheasants and other upland wildlife populations through habitat improvement, public awareness and education.<\/p>\n

All funds raised at the banquet remain under the control of the local chapter to be used for youth projects, habitat improvement in the James Valley area and to support advocacy efforts on a state and national level. James Valley Pheasants Forever chapter supports three trap shooting teams, at Jamestown High School, the University of Jamestown and Barnes County North. The chapter provides more than 100 bags of food plot seed to local landowners to support wildlife and supports a precision agriculture project which allows a landowner to analyze his input\/output costs for a field and determine if some acres should be left out of production due to low yields. Those acres can then be put into a different crop or perhaps into CRp or some other programs to provide them some income and wildlife some habitat.<\/p>\n

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The man charged with shooting and killing a woman in Grand Forks earlier this month is facing additional felony charges. Charges of attempted robbery and theft have been filed against 26-year-old Ahmed Abdullahi who is accused of attempting to rob a man and stealing a car. He was previously charged with murder after 28-year-old Megan Gustafson was shot and killed during an argument. Police had responded to a 911 call about a suspicious person in a Grand Forks neighborhood on Sept. 12. Authorities say Abdullah was arguing with Gustafson inside a house before she was shot. Investigators believe they knew each other.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A panel of lawmakers putting the final touches on North Dakota\u2019s new legislative map has delayed action n a proposal to create separate House districts on two of the state\u2019s five American Indian reservations. Some members of the 14-member Republican-led committee said Tuesday they wanted more legal guidance before voting on the motion. The committee is scheduled to meet again Wednesday. Some North Dakota tribal leaders appealed to lawmakers last week to split legislative House districts that include reservations, a move they believe will increase the odds for electing American Indians to the Legislature.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The developer of an oil refinery near Theodore Roosevelt National Park in western North Dakota has a new contract with a company that will buy and market all diesel and gasoline produced at the facility. Developer Meridian Energy Group says its 10-year contract with Musket Corp. covers 360 million gallons of diesel and 280 million gallons of gasoline produced annually. The fuels make up 90% of the volume of refined products at the plant. Meridian first proposed the refinery just 3 miles from the park in 2016, with the goal of having it operating by next year.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The Spirit Lake Tribe has been trying for nearly two decades to get North Dakota officials to replace signs at the reservation\u2019s major ports of entry that were moved because of ongoing flooding of Devils Lake. With help from the state Department of Transportation, the markers are back in their rightful place. Tribal Chairman Doug Yankton says it is as much about principle as it is property. He says it highlights tribal sovereignty and shows the importance of tribal members learning about their history and culture. Yankton and the tribe finally got their new signs after state transportation director Bill Panos visited the reservation and received a four-hour tour that stretched to every end of the reservation.<\/p>\n

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) \u2014 The three people who died when a train derailed in rural Montana over the weekend included a Georgia couple who were on a cross-country trip to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary and 29-year-old Illinois man who was traveling to Oregon with his wife. The 74-year-old Don Varnadoe spent months watching videos about train trips on his office computer in preparation for a special cross-country vacation with 72-year-old Margie Varnadoe. They lived in Brunswick, Georgia. Authorities say the third victim was 29-year-old Zachariah Schneider of Illinois. The software developer was traveling to Oregon with his wife, who survived.<\/p>\n

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) \u2014 A judge has sentenced a man who killed five people at a newspaper to more than five life sentences without the possibility of parole. Anne Arundel County Judge Michael Wachs ordered the sentence for Jarrod Ramos on Tuesday. In July, a jury found Ramos criminally responsible for killing Wendi Winters, John McNamara, Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen and Rebecca Smith with a shotgun at the Capital Gazette\u2019s office in June 2018. Ramos had pleaded guilty but not criminally responsible to all 23 counts against him in 2019, using Maryland\u2019s version of an insanity defense. The case was delayed several times before and during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

(AP)\u00a0 Technology companies led a broad sell-off in stocks on Wall Street Tuesday, putting the S&P 500 on track for its biggest drop since May. The benchmark index fell 1.9% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 2.6%. The center of Wall Street\u2019s action was again in the bond market, where a swift rise in Treasury yields is forcing investors to reassess whether prices have run too high for stocks, particularly the most popular ones. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped to 1.53%, its highest level since late June. That’s up from 1.32% a week ago. Energy stocks bucked the downward trend and rose.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Prince Andrew has acknowledged through his lawyer that he’s been served with a lawsuit by a U.S. woman who says he sexually assaulted her. The acknowledgement was confirmed in a joint agreement signed by a lawyer for Andrew and approved by a Manhattan federal judge. It was entered in the public record Tuesday. The court papers said Andrew had been challenging acceptance of the lawsuit until lawyers spoke by phone on Sept. 21. An agreement was signed three days later. In the lawsuit, Virginia Giuffre claims Andrew abused her on multiple occasions in 2001 when she was under 18. Andrew’s lawyer has called the allegations \u201cbaseless.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
