VCEA, Files Suit Against VCPS Board

Valley City (CSi) The Valley City Education Association (VCEA) has voted to file a lawsuit against the Valley City School board.

The school district and VCEA teachers has been at an impasse since September of 2013.

North Dakota United Uniserv Director Deanna Paulson says the legal action is due to changes made by school board negotiators to the health insurance section in the negotiated agreement, that failed to reflect the exact wording in state Fact Finding Commission report issued in November of 2013.

Valley City School Board President Joyce Braunagel says the board is disappointed that the item was not settled through negotiations.
