recognized nationally for high academic achievement.
The state Department of Public Instruction says Thompson Public
School and Carrington Elementary School have been named Blue Ribbon
Schools.

around the country through the program for 30 years.
Schools are honored each year at a ceremony in Washington, D.C.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota is applying for a waiver from
requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind education law.
States are allowed to opt out of the controversial law if they
meet certain requirements including developing alternative
standards that meet federal approval.
More than two dozen states already have received waivers.
A committee of North Dakota education officials recently voted
in favor of applying for a waiver, after nearly a year of study.
State School Superintendent Wayne Sanstead said Monday that the
state has submitted a request.
If the Education Department approves it this fall, the state’s alternative standards will take effect beginning with the 2013-14 school year.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Williston’s multimillion dollar jail and
law enforcement center completed less than five years ago was
designed to handle prisoner growth for five decades and take
taxpayers a quarter-century to retire the bond.
The $16 million Williams County Law Enforcement Center is now
paid for due to the explosion of oil activity in western North
Dakota.
But Williams County Sheriff Scott Busching says the jail also is
full because of the increased crime that has come with a soaring
population.
Williams County Commissioner Dan Kalil says the bond for the law
enforcement center will be retired next month but county
commissioners likely will ask voters to keep the half-cent sales
tax on the books to help pay for a possible expansion of the
facility and other infrastructure needs.

have been rising steadily since 2008, and case managers can’t keep
up.
Officials cite the state’s good economy.
Fargo-Moorhead Coalition for Homeless Persons Executive Director Laurie Baker says people from across the country are coming to North Dakota looking for jobs.
She also says a housing crisis in the western oil patch is forcing some people into shelters in the east.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – Four officials with Dakotas-based Sanford Health are attending a medical conference in Africa this week that could set the stage for further expansion on that continent.

Sanford bills itself as the nation’s largest not-for-profit rural health care provider, with a presence in more than 125 communities in seven states.
It also is in the process of developing clinics in Ireland, Israel and Mexico, and is considering expanding to China.
It is headquartered in Sioux Falls, S.D., and Fargo, N.D.
